“…While the term "urban infill" is fairly broad, it's generally understood to describe the development of vacant or under-utilized property surrounded by 6 existing development (Daisa & Parker, 2009). Adaptive re-use of the existing building stock is a form of infill development that can promote land use mix by converting an older buildingusually a non-residential structure near a central city -into housing in area rich in retail and office uses (Bullen & Love, 2009;Heath, 2001). In particular, a resurgence of interest in the benefits of older buildings has been taking place (Powe et al, 2016), largely in the spirit of Jacobs' (1961) advocacy of their benefits.…”

“…Various researchers have examined vacancy; those interested in obsolescence and depreciation (Baum, 1991(Baum, , 1993Baum & McElhinney, 1997;Dunse et al, 2002;Andrew & Pitt, 2006;Crosby & Devaney 2006;Crosby et al 2011); those interested in the adaptation of vacant properties (Barlow & Gann, 1996;Beauregard, 2006;Kincaid, 2002;Heath 2001;Geraedts & van der Voordt, 2003;Agre, 2005;Langston et al, 2008;Remoy, 2010;Remoy and Wilkinson, 2012;Wilkinson and Read, 2011) those who want to map the characteristics of vacancy (Myers & Wyatt, 2004;Katyoka & Wyatt, 2008;Remoy H & Koppels, 2009); those who model the cyclical behaviour of the economy and property (Ball 2003;Barras, 2009;Wheaton 1999); and those who reflect on the medium to long-term rental adjustment process (Blank & Winnick, 1953;Wincott, 1997;Voith & Crone, 1988;Crone, 1989;Grenadier, 1995;Pissarides, 2000Pissarides, , 2005Sanderson, et al, 2006;Miceli & Sirmans, 2013). Concurrently, professional practices regularly also use relative vacancy levels (alongside absorption and take-up, rent and yield) to monitor the performance of local markets (see quarterly updates from international commercial real estate companies, CBRE, Colliers and Cushman and Wakefield, BNP Paribas, Jones Lang LaSalle).…”

Commercial real estate vacancy is a key indicator of property market efficiency, economic performance and urban resilience. However, there has been little conceptual reflection into the abstract notion of vacancy beyond binary distinctions of natural and structural vacancy. Although useful simplifying meta-concepts, neither accounts for the internal complexity and imperfection that permeates real commercial property markets. Consequently, the objective of this article is to outline a conceptual framework that describes vacancy across the commercial real estate building life-cycle -from initial construction to final demolition and redevelopment. The originality of the research rests in its utility as the first known holistic examination of commercial real estate vacancy beyond that of an abstract economic factor, while its value is explicit in the conceptual typology which can be used by researchers interested in market imperfections and consequent interventions.

“…According to previous studies, potential users usually look for locations that are close to work and other multipurpose facilities, to which they are provided with quick and easy access [11]. For that reason, the greatest number of the conversion examples is placed in large cities throughout the United States, Canada and Western Europe.…”

Preliminary notesIn the contemporary world of social and demographic changes that continuously transform and intensify the housing demands, the exploitation of existing building fund for the development of new residential environment could be a sustainable solution to the problem of overcrowding in the cities. Conversion of obsolete buildings that are out of their primary functions to residential facilities is one of the current methods of highly-urbanized areas revitalization. Since the conversion is only one of the possible methods of urban renewal, because more radical measures of building demolition and land conversion are very often applied, it is necessary to analyse the quality and suitability of this approach. The paper points out the advantages of building conversion implementation in the field of housing and explores the general characteristics of the current local and international strategies of conversion and urban regeneration. Keywords: conversion; housing; obsolescence; sustainabilityPostojeće strategije urbane i arhitektonske konverzije kao rezultat povećane potražnje za stambenim prostorom Prethodno priopćenje U postojećem svijetu društvenih i demografskih promjena koje neprestano mijenjaju i povećavaju potražnju za smještajem, iskorištavanje postojećeg građevinskog fonda za razvoj novih stambenih prostora mogao bi postati održivo rješenje problema prenapućenosti gradova. Konverzija zastarjelih zgrada, koje su izgubile svoju primarnu funkciju, u stambene objekte, jedna je od postojećih metoda za revitalizaciju visoko-urbaniziranih područja. Budući da je konverzija samo jedna od mogućih metoda urbane obnove, jer se vrlo često primijenjuju radikalnije mjere demoliranja zgrada i konverzije zemljišta, potrebno je analizirati i kvalitetu i prikladnost ovoga pristupa. U radu se naglašavaju prednosti implementiranja konverzije zgrada kad se radi o smještaju te se istražuju opće karakteristike postojećih lokalnih i internacionalnih strategija konverzije i urbane regeneracije.
