A new taskforce will evaluate the potential of converting vacant offices into residential properties in Dublin, aiming to address the issues of vacant commercial properties and the need for more housing. The taskforce will assess over 5,500 vacant commercial properties and identify around 500,000sq m of offices that are at risk of becoming obsolete. These offices, built in the second half of the 20th century, could potentially be transformed into 7,000 apartments. The Government's Housing for All strategy will be updated based on the taskforce's recommendations.
