The existing building is not an ideal candidate to be redeveloped into a housing complex. Some issues that were brought up were the inadequate mix of unit types, the cost of continual maintenance of a building in this condition, and the cost of construction to convert the building from offices into housing units. With this in mind, several ideas on what a new construction project would need to be for this area were discussed by the design team.
