KFA Senior Associate, Tarrah Beebe, AIA, was featured on Spectrum News Los Angeles discussing the innovative transformation of abandoned commercial office buildings into much-needed residences.
As more people continue to work from home, many office buildings across California are left empty. AB 3068, a new bill, aims to fast-track permits for converting these vacant spaces into apartments, addressing the housing shortage swiftly and efficiently.
KFA Architecture continues to be at the forefront of this movement, turning a long-vacant office building in San Pedro into over 200 new apartments.
"Statewide, we have office space that is available and housing that is needed. Converging these needs is going to be better for us to address the housing crisis. We believe adaptive reuse is a sustainable solution, allowing us to reimagine and repurpose buildings, creating a win-win situation for our communities." says Tarrah Beebe.
This bill could expedite the development process, making it easier for developers and investors to bring new residential units forward, although some cities have concerns about ensuring public safety with the shorter timeline.
