Unlocking Value: Converting Distressed Office into Multifamily & Hospitality

What if you could turn struggling office towers into cash-flowing, Class-A assets?

At this month’s meetup, we’re diving deep into the world of adaptive reuse—how one company is unlocking 30%+ IRRs by converting distressed office buildings into top-performing multifamily and hospitality properties.

Join Jake Krassner of LEFT LANE for a behind-the-scenes look at real projects in Phoenix, Savannah, Pittsburgh, and more.

He’ll walk us through:
✅ How tax credits are driving returns
✅ What to look for in adaptive reuse opportunities
✅ How federal RRIF loans can reduce equity requirements and boost returns
✅ Lessons learned from over $10B in development experience
