An Abandoned Downtown Equals a Pot of Gold?

 

Not everyone who left the office for remote work returned after the pandemic lockdown ended.

Developers see these abandoned places as easy cash, that is, if you can find the right sort of abandoned office space. On this episode of Upzoned, urban developer Andrew Ganahl talks with host Abby Kinney about the challenges of this pattern of growth, but also the good that could come out of it.
