warehouse conversions
Factories becoming apartments
Warehouse conversions are the transformation of industrial warehouse buildings into residential or commercial spaces.
Exposed brick, high ceilings, and large windows become desirable features rather than industrial remnants.
The practice began in urban areas where manufacturing declined and housing demand grew: They bought a loft in a warehouse conversion in Brooklyn.
The term also applies to the resulting properties themselves.
