> in warehouses that had once served the maritime industry

loft apartments today were artist residences a generation ago, which themselves were just converted factories

when "work from office" became a thing and people stopped going to factories to work, the factories had to be converted since otherwise they would become worthless

now with "work from home", i think the previous generation "office" will be converted into artist residences again (plenty of windows and light, not too many legal hurdles)

get in now before offices go full circle into luxury "cubicle units"!
