Office Conversions

Briarstone transforms outdated office space into vibrant residential or mixed-use developments that align with urban housing demands and sustainability goals. Our adaptive reuse approach helps cities unlock underutilized commercial buildings while creating high-quality living environments in desirable, centrally located areas.

We manage the full conversion lifecycle—from zoning adjustments and structural engineering to residential unit design and amenity programming. Each project is tailored to meet modern housing expectations while delivering long-term performance.

Our Work

Key Offerings

Office-to-residential conversions

We redesign and repurpose former office floorplates into efficient apartment or condo layouts, ensuring full residential code compliance and livability standards.

Structural and systems retrofitting

Our team upgrades mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and elevator systems while reinforcing structural elements to accommodate new use types and vertical loads.

Amenity planning and unit design

We reimagine common spaces and individual suites to maximize light, airflow, function, and appeal, often adding features like rooftop decks, lounges, and fitness facilities.

Key Advantages

01 Efficient urban densification with existing infrastructure

Office conversions reduce the need for new land development and leverage existing utility networks, roads, and transit access.

02 Shorter timelines and reduced costs vs. ground-up construction

By reusing structural elements and vertical cores, we save time and money, accelerating delivery and ROI.

03 Support from city policies and incentive programs

Many municipalities offer grants, fast-tracked approvals, or tax relief for conversion projects that support housing goals.

04 Meets ESG and sustainability targets

Adaptive reuse reduces embodied carbon and construction waste, contributing to lower environmental impact.

05 Diversifies housing inventory in established downtown cores

Our conversions create urgently needed rental and ownership housing in walkable, amenity-rich locations with existing urban services.
