Early in my career, I represented Tony Goldman, an urban visionary who help transform industrial Soho into a residential neighborhood. Tony bought warehouse and small factory buildings and we converted the floors into lofts for residential use and for artists who used their lofts as homes and studios. Little did I imagine that I would continue advising clients on converting buildings from one use to another throughout my career and that, during the last decade, I would advise clients on converting approximately 1.2 million square feet of prime office space into residential, hospitality, educational and other uses, in a process called adaptive reuse.
