Office space is easily remodeled. Most high rise commercial buildings have windows. they are designed for it to be changed every few years.
Older buildings regularly get turned into housing and sell well exactly for their unique characteristics.
I lived in a converted building that had an enormous industrial crane structure inside of it. They had retrofitted a pool, hot tub, and basketball court on the roofs. It even had two stall parking.

They have windows, yeah. They also tend to have way more internal space than your average residential high-rise.
I’m all for reclaiming unused office space, but sometimes it’s just better to build a new building on the lot, that is fit for purpose.

More internal space means more or larger units. Or am I misunderstanding?
Usually it’s that the insulation sucks
