Which option describes one type of building alternative?

Rehabilitating a property without altering its use is an essential approach in property management that focuses on enhancing the building’s condition while maintaining its original purpose. This type of building alternative allows property managers to improve aesthetics, functionality, and compliance with current building codes or regulations without changing what the building is primarily used for.

This strategy can lead to various benefits, such as preserving the historical or cultural significance of the building, minimizing disruption to its current tenants or users, and often being more environmentally sustainable as it reduces waste associated with demolition and new construction. By choosing to rehabilitate rather than demolish or repurpose, owners can maintain the community’s character while still addressing necessary improvements.

The other options present alternatives that either involve significant changes to the building's future (such as demolishing for new development or changing its use) or a combination of those transformations, which do not align with the idea of maintaining the current use.
