I've actually heard it's incredibly difficult to retrofit office space into condos/apartments.

It is. Difficult, time consuming and expensive.

But even with that, I've seen a couple happen that seem to have been sucessful.

It took them almost 3 years between commercial tenants leaving and residential tenants moving in, but it from what I can tell, it appears to have been sucessful.

I actually used to live in a loft that was a former sears warehouse, it was pretty cool. Had lots of character.
