Transformation for many downtowns began with the redevelopment of old warehouses.  Proponents of re-urbanism advocate for the redevelopment of old buildings not only to create a more economically and environmentally sustainable city but to establish a strong sense of community for its residents.  Adaptative reuse programs make it easier for developers or business owners to repurpose old spaces. The gallery on the right demonstrates successful commercial renovation projects that already make their home near downtown Fayetteville.
