So buildings you never would have thought of as apartment buildings...

are being considered for these types of conversions.

One of the ones that we featured in our most recent story was 750 3rd Avenue, built in the late 1950s.

It's no longer working as an office building, so they came up with a plan for carving out

space on the 4th through 17th floor, they're going to pretty much hollow out that base, demolish that space, but they're also going to create a new tower, which worked for apartments because it'll be narrow enough that the apartments can all get the necessary light in there.

And because of the new zoning incentives that the city created, they can now do this.

My pleasure.

Thank you.
