About Ben Koenig
I specialize in real estate strategy with a focus on adaptive reuse and complex conversions — particularly transforming underutilized office buildings into vibrant residential or mixed-use environments. As a Project Manager at Gensler, I help clients unlock the highest and best use of their properties, guiding them through office repositioning, development, and industrial/logistics facility planning.Throughout my career, I’ve been driven by a passion for innovation and process optimization. Long before it became mainstream, I championed the idea that repurposing existing structures is a more sustainable and resource-efficient approach than building from scratch. While designing within existing constraints can be more challenging — especially when adapting to new demands and evolving design standards — it often leads to smarter, faster, and more cost-effective outcomes.Nowhere is this more evident than in office-to-residential conversions, where we’re not just redesigning buildings — we’re redefining urban living.
