Great article.
Having built out many a millions of square feet office/health spaces - there are a lot of issues with conversion of an office building to housing, namely plumbing. (lack of said plumbing) and I would assume the addition of plumbing and electrical utils to support bath/shower/stoves/fridges will result in the electrical closets being too small - plus individually billing for sewar, water, electrical, and no gas for heating - so the plenums will be a nightmare for HVAC etc...
