Faster Timelines
Adaptive reuse typically offers quicker project completion times than starting from scratch with new developments.
Boost Economic Activity
Building conversions stimulate local economies by supporting nearby businesses, improving infrastructure, and investing in public spaces such as parks.
Expand Housing Stock
Repurposing underutilized buildings helps increase housing availability, providing a cost-effective alternative to new development.
Reduce Waste
Instead of sending construction debris to landfills, adaptive reuse and deconstruction save up to 90% of a building's materials (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), preserving valuable resources.
Reduce Emissions
Traditional construction contributes 11% to global carbon emissions, but adaptive reuse can reduce these emissions by up to 80% (Architecture 2030). This method significantly cuts the carbon footprint associated with sourcing new materials.
