And, as the American economy shifted from manufacturing to services, the need for more office space exploded. Add in the emergent trends of large, open and creative spaces and it\u2019s no wonder that old industrial buildings have been a go-to for adaptive reuse projects. In fact, of all office building adaptive reuse projects in the last century, 61% were converted from industrial space.

But it really didn\u2019t take off until the 1980s. The Industrial Revolution set the stage for large manufacturers that grew even larger with the expansion of railroad networks across the country. Steel and shipbuilding became even bigger business. Meanwhile, technological advancements in radio and electronics \u2014 in combination with the consumer-centric boom that occurred after World War II \u2014 added gasoline to the industrial fire throughout the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Of all the conversions to office space in the last 100 years, only 3% took place in the first five decades of the 20th century. The 1960s brought with it slightly more adaptive reuses \u2014 accounting for 2% of the total \u2014 while 5% of them took place in the 70s.<\/p>\n<p>A commercial construction boom coincided with outsourcing and offshoring, which began to draw manufacturing and assembly to other countries. As a result, the need for manufacturing facilities in the United States began to decline and, by the 1980s, the decline was unmistakable. One-fifth of all office conversions in the last century were in the 80\u2019s, representing nearly 68 million square feet across 635 buildings.<\/p>\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"e49cd605-38aa-4e00-b654-604f4320dfb6\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Office Conversion - Evolution by Decade\"><\/div>\n<p><script>!function(e,i,n,s){var t=\"InfogramEmbeds\",d=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement(\"script\");o.async=1,o.id=n,o.src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\",d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In fact, 90% of all buildings that have been converted to office buildings were only completed in the last 40 years. Now, not only can industrial buildings be retrofitted into offices rather quickly, but many are also near important amenities for workers, such as major traffic corridors near the city. They can also be less expensive to acquire, as well.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, the converted warehouse office building trend only hastened further with the advent of creative and coworking spaces. Not only was it more economical to convert a vacant building, but now, it was cool, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Office Adaptive Reuse Cluster in Northeast &amp; Rust Belt States<\/h2>\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"9c62e85e-bb0b-44d1-8f4f-cab6c5012df6\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Office Conversions - By State\"><\/div>\n<p><script>!function(e,i,n,s){var t=\"InfogramEmbeds\",d=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement(\"script\");o.async=1,o.id=n,o.src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\",d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, the more dense, historic and industrial a state is, the larger the number of conversions. The northeastern and rust belt states dominate the top of this list, accounting for nearly half of all conversions since 1920. In particular, New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio collectively converted 1,572 buildings into office space \u2014 37% of the total conversions.<\/p>\n<p>Add conversions in California and Texas and two-thirds of all office adaptive reuses in the last 100 years were in just 15 states \u2014 New England and the rust belt states, plus California and Texas. Historically, these states were centers for industry and manufacturing \u2014 more so than the other 35 states \u2014 and they also had another important quality: density.<\/p>\n<h2>Portland, Milwaukee &amp; Minneapolis Among Most Popular Cities for Adaptive Reuses<\/h2>\n<p>New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco and Chicago have all had more than 100 buildings converted for office use in the last 100 years, representing more than 106 million square feet. 27.5% of all converted buildings \u2014 more than one-quarter of all conversions in the country \u2014 occurred in these five cities. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/office\/us\/ny\/new-york-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Office space in New York City<\/a> alone grew 49.6 million square feet \u2014 two and a half times that of Boston and five times that of Los Angeles. The Bay Area&#8217;s commercial real estate market also added some 126 projects \u2014 totaling roughly 10.8 million square feet of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/office\/us\/ca\/san-francisco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco office space.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Clearly, the dense, industrial cities of the 20th century also had the ingredients for a booming office market, as well, as services began to emerge as the dominant force in the U.S. economy. Second- and third-tier cities were also well-positioned for office adaptive reuse.<\/p>\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"a70d1479-5d14-4a35-a809-6984ec2f0a8e\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Office Conversions - By City\"><\/div>\n<p><script>!function(e,i,n,s){var t=\"InfogramEmbeds\",d=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement(\"script\");o.async=1,o.id=n,o.src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\",d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Minneapolis office market was shaped through its history as the flour and timber milling capital of the world in the 19th century. It was also the only major business hub between Chicago and Seattle, therefore attracting workers across industries that supported the staples. The banking industry also exploded here as millers paid cash for grain that had to be held until it was ready for milling and, therefore, needed a place to put it. Since then, Minneapolis-St. Paul has converted nearly 11 million square feet of existing space into offices across 92 buildings.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, Portland\u2019s shipbuilding industry during World War II not only attracted 150,000 people in the 1940s and 1950s, but also laid the groundwork for numerous industrial conversions to take place in the densest city in Oregon and one of the most progressive cities in the country. To date, the city has converted 83 buildings to offices \u2014 more than 6.6 million square feet for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/office\/us\/or\/portland\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Portland office market<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Further east in Milwaukee \u2014 a hub for German and Eastern European immigrants in the 19th century \u2014 the city\u2019s industrial past is deeply rooted in manufacturing, bulk storage and brewing. However, while breweries have remained, and even expanded, the other industries have declined since booming in the early 1900s, thereby making way for more service-based companies. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/office\/us\/wi\/milwaukee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Office space in Milwaukee<\/a> has grown by 79 buildings \u2014 totaling more than 7.8 million square feet \u2014 thanks to adaptive reuse.<\/p>\n<h4>Methodology<\/h4>\n<p>Adaptive reuse refers to the conversion of an existing building to a different use than what it was originally built for. The study is exclusively based on office data related to buildings containing 25,000 square feet or more.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s possible for a building to be converted more than once. For this reason, we only considered buildings that were converted to office use and have remained as such to this day.<\/p>\n<p>Data Source: Yardi Research Data, extracted on November 13, 2020.<\/p>\n<p>New York City contains office data for all boroughs except the Bronx and State Island.<\/p>\n<div id=\"highlighter--hover-tools\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<div id=\"highlighter--hover-tools--container\">\n<div class=\"highlighter--icon highlighter--icon-copy\" title=\"Copy\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"highlighter--separator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"highlighter--icon highlighter--icon-change-color\" title=\"Change Color\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"highlighter--separator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"highlighter--icon highlighter--icon-delete\" title=\"Delete\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key takeaways: More than 2,500 industrial buildings have been converted into office buildings, making it by far the most popular use-type to convert for office use. 90% of all office building adaptive reuses have occurred in the last 40 years.
