I toured 160 Water Street, a major office-to-residential conversion in New York City. That's the whole point at 160 Water Street. In a past life, 160 Water Street was an office building in New York City's financial district. Standing next to 180 Water Street — an office building that was converted into units back in 2017 — 160 Water Street is preparing to welcome tenants by the end of the year. I got the opportunity to tour the building and saw just how much the rise of remote work is shaping how we use our spaces.

A developer and an architect explain how they transformed NYC financial district office buildings. But some developers and architects have used the opportunity to lean into a business model they'd been pursuing long before COVID-19: turning empty office buildings into housing. They're currently finishing up their transformation of 160 Water Street, a 1970s office tower in lower Manhattan that will become 586 apartments.

Rent at 160 Water will range from about $3,500 for a studio apartment up to $7,500 for a two-bedroom.

About $800 billion may be wiped off the value of offices in major cities this decade, per McKinsey. Converting New York offices into residences is possible but has its challenges, Bloomberg reported. Buildings in the financial district are only eligible if they were built before 1977, while it's 1961 for Midtown structures, Chilelli told Bloomberg. Structural issues must also be considered, Chilelli told Bloomberg. Repurposing a structure can as much as double the price per square foot for a building, Chilelli said.

There is an aging office building on Water Street in Lower Manhattan where it would make all the sense in the world to create apartments. The 31-story building, once the headquarters of A.I.G., has windows all around and a shape suited to extra corner units. Right across the street, one office not so different from this one has already been turned into housing, and another is on the way. But 175 Water Street has a hitch: Offices in the financial district are spared some zoning rules that make conversion hard — so long as they were built before 1977. But that idea died in the State Legislature this spring, along with the rest of the governor’s housing agenda.

That could change with tax abatements and subsidy programs, or if outdated office buildings lose so much value that the cost of acquiring them plummets.
