The buyer, specializing in adaptive reuse projects, plans to use historic tax credits to convert the industrial building into market-rate multifamily housing. The sale underscores the growing demand for creative repurposing of older industrial assets in urban areas and the strategic value of historic tax incentives in multifamily redevelopment.
