Besides residential conversion, the client could consider:

I. Commercial Repositioning

• Flexible coworking or short-term leasing (if demand supports)
• Medical offices, life sciences labs (if structurally viable)
• Creative or industrial space (e.g., studios, light manufacturing)

II. Mixed-Use or Public-Private Use

• Ground-floor retail with community services (e.g., DMV, nonprofits)
• Educational use: satellite campuses, bootcamps, training centers
• Government or public agency leases (more stable demand)

III. Non-tenant Revenue

• Sell rooftop rights for 5G towers or solar
• Lease for storage, data centers, or pop-up logistics hubs

Candidates should show diversity of ideas (B2C vs B2B, physical vs services) and prioritize based on cost, demand, and timeline.
