    There are cities doing similar things with office buildings. They are consolidating the vacant floors to make a residential block within the office tower. It seems pretty sensible

    If I remember correctly, Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville bought a closed mall and converted it to an extension of the hospital.

    In some cases, entire sections of malls are being reimagined with outdoor spaces, restaurants and modern living quarters. “The mall is becoming cool again,” Jacob Knudsen, vice president of development for Macerich, told CNBC, which is adding housing to FlatIron Crossing Mall in Broomfield, Colorado.

    Well why not. Better than letting the building sit abandoned or meeting a demolition company’s wrecking ball!!
