• The residential conversion of office properties in downtown Cleveland continues to be a major theme.
Since 2008, more than 4.8 million square feet of office product has been identified for residential
redevelopment. At first, the office buildings that were targeted for conversion were vacant and
functionally obsolete. But now, developers have moved their sights to underperforming office buildings
with existing tenants. The impact of these conversions will have a compounding effect since developers
are removing inventory and consolidating tenants into the remaining supply.
