A construction incident in Manhattan has brought attention to the challenges of repurposing old buildings. Crews are working to transform two office buildings into apartments. The project aims to create around 1,600 apartments by modifying the existing structures.

The buildings, one of which dates back to 1909, are being redeveloped to address a housing shortage. The work involves adding stories to one of the buildings and redesigning the other.

Further details on this incident and the project are available from KPRC 2 / Click2Houston.
