This appears to me to a way better alternative use of office space than converting to housing. Seems like the issue with the housing plans is lack of utility infrastructure to support separate dwellings, but an indoor farm can probably make good use of what’s already there. This is the first I’ve heard of using old offices as agricultural spaces, it would be amazing if this could become a mainstream solution!
