    I’m speculating here, but the title says “old office buildings”, and the Barron building was built in 1949. Maybe there’s something about older buildings that make them better for conversions?

      Yup, thats part of it. They are less “empty void with a center column of utilities that you put walls around” and more partitioned into smaller units like living spaces.

      The good news is that there are hundreds/thousands of these in most cities that can likely be converted.
