MIAMI—Resource Real Estate has worked on several strategic multifamily adaptive reuse developments in recent years—and is in the midst of one right now. We caught up with Alan Feldman, CEO of Resource, to learn more about his firm's approach to adaptive reuse development and how he deals with the challenges that spring up along the way.
