ADAPTIVE REUSE

What is there to know?

Urban centers, suburban regions, and rural areas grapple with a significant deficiency in affordable housing. Simultaneously, the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with the surge in remote work practices, have resulted in elevated vacancy rates and the inefficient use of commercial properties. Numerous structures within this category hold the potential for conversion into residential spaces, offering a viable solution to augment the inventory of affordable housing.

* allows for commercial properties to be used as residential spaces without the need for rezoning. Repurposing underutilized structures is more environmentally sustainable than demolition. Prolonging the lifespan of existing buildings, whether for expanding housing options or other socially beneficial objectives, stands as a superior economic alternative. Additionally, this approach contributes to a diminished environmental footprint, notably in terms of reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

*SB 6 - allows residential development on property zoned for retail and office space without requiring a rezoning, and allows project applicants to utilize the Housing Accountability Act (HAA) to limit local discretion to deny or condition approval.

Case Study: From Retail Site to High Density Housing

One of our IN CONTRACT properties has undergone a remarkable shift from retail to residential, showcasing our ability to unlock hidden potentials and create valuable opportunities.

Commercial-to-residential conversions could work wonders for an ailing asset class like CRE.

 This is a great post, thanks for sharing. A year ago I and some of my friends were discussing ab5 and were focused on the urban areas of San Jose, Santa Clara etc. Over time interest waned due to the amount of MF still coming to market. I had a "feeling" that tertiary markets may be worth examining. I'm hoping this thread gets some traction amongst savvy Nor Cal investors as I would like to learn more.
