Japanese property developers are converting office towers into hotels to keep up with growing tourism demand. 

Sankei Building Co. recently converted a 35 year old office building into a hostel and lounge, called Grids. It features a range of living options and bar where people can 'connect'. 

With changing work patterns, digital economies and global tourists wanting authentic experiences wherever they go, will we see more of these conversions over the coming years? What's the life span of your office tower?
