I'm told that office buildings are actually terrible from a housing standpoint. Like, it's actually easier to just tear the whole thing down and build an entirely new complex than convert it into apartments.

Perhaps. There are other possible uses, though, such as commons spaces. Also, even housing that has a quirky design may carry value, within the context, in symbolizing transformation away from the old.
