More about the tour:
Living in Downtown puts you in the heart of the city with a unique level of convenience. Everything is at your fingertips, and you can easily walk to shops, restaurants, and other amenities. You can connect to public transportation, bike or get around on foot, reducing the need for a car. Downtown living is very desirable to residents of all ages for the vibrant nightlife, cultural events, and attractions. Downtowns contribute a high density of economic activity and a concentration of opportunity for a more diverse and inclusive population. But creating new housing units in Downtown districts has challenges, too. Building codes have changed over time, structures and uses may be obsolete, there will be brownfield issues, rising water levels, stormwater concerns and clashes in the neighborhood over traffic and parking. These all weigh on the financial feasibility of Downtown sites and add challenges to office-to-residential conversions.
