With generous floor areas and flexible layouts, the space is well-suited for a variety of residential configurations, whether as individual apartments, a co-living space, or serviced accommodation to meet the growing demand for town-centre living. The natural light, high ceilings, and character features of the building provide a strong foundation for a high-quality conversion.
