People replace flats with giant houses in San Francisco frequently. Here's an example of a 2200-sq.ft. duplex that became a 4200-sq.ft. SFH selling for over $5 million. https://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Francisco/891-Noe-St-94114/hom...

2200 sq ft duplex is a farcry from an 8 story building in nyc. if anything, apartments will get taller and taller, and up in the clouds at the pinnacle will reside a single family home with a manicured lawn. a suburb in the stratosphere. the jetsons may not be too far off.

Does Epstein's mansion in Manhattan count? It started out as an orphanage, then it was a hospital, and now it's the most expensive single-family dwelling in America.
