Renovated, but Vacant New York Office Building Will House 1,000 Migrants

Austell Place, a 170,000 sf 100-year-old office building and was renovated in 2019 will now have 1,000 migrants living in the building. It had previously been converted from a 100-year old warehouse to a modern office building. It has floor-to-ceiling windows. I tried to find details of how this office-to-residential conversion will work but at this point was unable to locate more information. Most office buildings with extensive vacancy ae more modern, and older office buildings with smaller floor plates reportedly are easer to convert to residential.
