Transforming Offices Into Residential and Lodging Properties
The trend of converting office buildings into hotels has become more popular as companies ditch their office spaces in favor of remote work. Places like New York City, Washington D.C. and Calgary are even offering incentive programs to draw more interest. A perfect example is the former headquarters of the New York Daily News in Manhattan’s Financial District; in the U.S.’s largest conversion, it now houses 1,300 luxury condos.
Brad Wellstead, a senior lecturer at Cornell’s SC Johnson College of Business, helps us understand the process of turning these old buildings into new real estate as well as some of the main pitfalls that developers face.
What You'll Learn
- The incentives behind renovating office spaces into hotel and luxury spaces
- Why there are so many available offices spaces and who is buying them
- The cities that are being affected most by these types of renovations
- Why these office spaces are the perfect places to renovate into hotel rooms

Influence and Persuasion: How to Tap Into Your Potential Power
Our words, actions and even our presence can profoundly affect other people, but we often misread the situation or underestimate ourselves. Emotions and cognitive biases often get in the way.
Through extensive behavioral research and workplace study, Vanessa Bohns — the Cornell ILR School’s Braunstein Family Professor and chair of the organizational behavior department — has developed strategies for us to better observe our influence, reconsider our fear of rejection and sometimes even use our influence more sparingly. Bohns, the author of “You Have More Influence Than You Think,” encourages us to recognize the influence we already possess rather than seeking new ways to gain it.
What You'll Learn
- How to be more mindful and present in your interactions with others
- How to get better at asking for things
- How to get better at saying no
- How to recognize and harness our influence for good by building stronger relationships and creating more supportive environments
