A record 53,000 new apartment units will be added to the market through adaptive reuse in 2022. Office buildings, obsolete industrial properties and hotels are all becoming fodder for multifamily conversions. And while updating these dated properties has a lot of benefits, outfitting vintage properties with the proper technology infrastructure to meet current and future needs is not without its challenges.

Giles Widener, lead product manager at Quantum Fiber, discusses how to modernize and future-proof an adaptive reuse development, explains why fiber networks are the best option for apartment conversions, what developers can expect during the installation and how providers can upgrade office networks to better align with multifamily uses.
