Transforming Suburban Office Parks into Housing

Ex-industrial spaces are often transformed into living spaces – why not office parks? Fast Company reports on an unusual plan to turn a massive, unused suburban office campus into a community of lofts and stores.

This particular office park, located in Holmdel, New Jersey has an impressive pedigree. Designed by renowned Finnish architect Eero Saarinen, the buildings housed Bell Labs, where pioneering work on transistors and cell phones was done.

Though the project is currently stalled due to pending approval from the local government, there is hope that it can act as a model for future office retrofits around the country.
