Office to anything: the real estate play hiding in plain sight
The current U.S. office market has its challenges—high vacancies, falling values—but for savvy investors, it’s a goldmine in disguise. The key is spotting the right use for each asset, whether that’s industrial, residential, or data infrastructure, and repositioning it to unlock serious upside.
