I'm interested in reading and learning more about various redevelopment projects of industrial or other non traditional spaces that are now being utilized for mixed use, residential or commercial uses. This could range from small scale such as an abandoned warehouse now being used as an artist workspace to a decommissioned fire station now serving as your home, or large scale such as the developments listed below.
Here's an example of a famous one here in San Francisco - About Us
Pittsburgh has the South Side Works. I'm not overly impressed. The list of stores reads like the list of stores at FlatIron Crossing Mall in Broomfield, CO.
As an iconic rust belt city, Detroit has many many examples of industrial buildings redeveloped. Many of them turned into residential lofts, some into office buildings, and apart of one of the casinos.
Also Penn well CHOP (Childrens Hospital of Philadelphia) is transforming an old industrial into 1 million square feet of pediatirc medical research as we speak - cant find a good link
I used to live literally across the street from this old Firehouse in the Queen Village section of Philadelphia (a little trivia fact the offices of Mason and Dixon surveyors (yes the ones who drew the Mason-Dixon line) are only one block from this place), now a multi-million plus dollar architects homes with an indoor pool
The Shockoe slip/bottom area in Richmond is filled with many large former factories, which are now converted into lofts
