The hospitality industry has always been dynamic, adapting to changing consumer needs and preferences. The adaptive reuse of hotel properties holds immense promise in addressing the affordable housing crisis. By repurposing underutilized hotels into residential spaces, particularly in urban areas, we can create sustainable and cost-effective housing solutions. To fully unlock the potential of adaptive reuse, however, a collaborative effort between public and private sectors, along with innovative financing models, will be essential. Embracing this approach can lead to more vibrant, inclusive communities and pave the way for a brighter future in urban development.
