纽约市将办公空间改为高租金和远程工作的住房,澳大利亚也正在作出类似的努力。 NYC converts office spaces to housing amid high rents and remote work, with similar efforts emerging in Australia.

纽约市正在迅速将空置办公楼转化为住房,在20年的时间里改造了近3 000万平方英尺,并计划在偏远工作和高租金的驱动下再建造数千个单位。 New York City is rapidly converting vacant office buildings into housing, transforming nearly 30 million square feet over two decades and planning thousands more units, driven by remote work and high rents. 这些改造虽然不是一个完全的解决办法,但却在理想地区增加了住房,减少了排放,并振兴了市区,尽管由于布局差和改造成本高,许多建筑不适合。 While not a full solution, these conversions add housing in desirable areas, reduce emissions, and revitalize downtowns, though many buildings are unsuitable due to poor layouts and high retrofit costs. 澳大利亚的办公室空缺在2025年年中达到14.3%,但转换仍然很少——两年来悉尼只有一个重大项目——尽管墨尔本的 " Make room " 和规划改革等举措显示出越来越大的势头。 In Australia, where office vacancy hit 14.3% in mid-2025, conversions remain rare—only one major project in Sydney in two years—though initiatives like Melbourne’s “Make Room” and planning reforms signal growing momentum. 要想取得成功,就必须确定合适的建筑物、明确的准则、简化审批程序而不牺牲质量。 Success requires identifying suitable buildings, clear guidelines, and streamlined approvals without sacrificing quality.
