With workplace trends shifting and demand for alternative uses rising, understanding the economics of office conversion has never been more critical.

At our Hollis Insights Breakfast Talk, Sarah Trahair-Williams (Head of Development Management), Barney Soanes-Cundle (Rights of Light expert), and Dan Campbell from Stiff + Trevillion Architects led an in-depth discussion on the financial realities of converting offices. They explored design challenges, neighbourly risks, and why success depends on early engagement and robust feasibility analysis.

Key Questions We Tackled

• Does conversion only work for the lowest quality office stock, or can a good B+ building become a prime candidate for residential?
• How do we bridge the disconnect between industry, politics and planning policy?
• Where are we now with construction costs and pricing?
