A housing charity believes retrofitting office blocks for social housing is a real prospect for the future as the world of work adapts to the impact of Covid-19.

With companies accelerating plans for employees to work from home in response to public health guidelines, office space may be of less significance. Google’s decision not to continue their office expansion in the Dublin docklands is a prime example of this new trend as companies reassess their operation requirements.
