ADAPTIVE REUSE
"Sustainability
Fun fact: A new energy-efficient building can take 10 to 80 years to overcome the environmental impact of its own construction process. Think of buildings as very large manufactured goods; prolonging the lifespan of existing structures is a sustainable strategy that’s becoming a necessity as the world population grows more urbanized. On a broad scale, adaptive reuse brings the world closer to reaching net-zero carbon goals because it addresses carbon burdens that already exist in the built environment.
Financial
Beyond the primary savings that come with reusing existing materials and infrastructure and avoiding demolition and new-construction costs, adaptive-reuse projects tend to have low acquisition costs and often have access to financing incentives. Well-planned adaptive-reuse projects can revitalize the businesses around them and restore economic confidence in a region.
Social
Bringing dilapidated buildings back to life revitalizes neighborhoods by providing affordable housing, increasing public safety, and offering new commercial opportunities in mixed-use spaces. These spaces are also ideal for small businesses, thanks to low lease costs and central locations, making it easier to establish important relationships with customers and neighbors."
