Show Notes
Seattle aims to transform vacant office buildings into homes to revitalize downtown, targeting at least 13,500 housing units by 2044. With residential numbers surging by 80% since 2010, the city seeks to shift the areas focus from offices to a mix of homes and shops. Mayor Katie Wilson and others are pushing for this change, with three projects already approved through city incentives. Despite challenges, developers see potential in converting older buildings, as seen in a successful office-to-apartment project set to finish this summer. City planners anticipate conversions and new builds will help address the housing shortage and create a vibrant 24-hour neighborhood.
