flag New York proposes a 10% tax credit to convert vacant offices into homes in areas with high vacancy and housing shortages.

flag A New York state bill proposes a 10% refundable tax credit for property owners who convert at least half of vacant office space into residential units, targeting areas with high office vacancy rates and housing shortages. flag The measure, introduced by Assembly Majority Leader Crystal Peoples-Stokes, aims to boost housing supply, lower rents, and revitalize downtowns by incentivizing the reuse of underutilized buildings. flag It applies to cities, towns, and villages with at least 50% unused office space and includes provisions for historic rehabilitation. flag The bill is under review by key legislative committees and could help address New York’s projected need for over 800,000 new housing units.
