After all, it\u2019s usually cheaper to renovate a project than to start a ground-up new construction. Additionally, adaptive-reuse projects are often more sustainable than other buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith rising borrowing and construction costs and an excess of already built square footage in the U.S., we see adaptive reuse as a more efficient use of economic and material resources,\u201d Joel Fuoss of Trivers told writer Beata Lorincz for &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/3-adaptive-reuse-projects-that-pop\/\">3 Adaptive Reuse Projects That Pop<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take, for example, the $200 million renovation of the 50-year-old 20 Massachusetts Ave., N.W., in Washington, D.C. Office Properties Income Trust and The RMR Group reinvigorated a staid federal building and turned it into a hip mixed-use development. According to Lorincz, the project rejuvenated the area, transforming it into a bustling destination with a hotel, retail spaces and offices. Talk about a makeover!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more examples of conversions done right, be sure to read Lorincz\u2019s article. I\u2019ll be there.
