O’Sullivan, Jr., is joined by Raffaela Dunne and David Quart from VHB to discuss what the repositioning of an asset really means – and why you likely need a team of professionals around you for this endeavor. Converting a building from office to residential (or to educational, medical or life science uses) is not as easy as changing out the furniture.
