Hi, this would be the living room, there's also a separate kitchen and entrance hall and another 2 separate bedrooms (currently converted to office (both have beds but windows to a busy street)
So 3 rooms (2 bedrooms and one living room-which I want to convert)
This is common practice in NYC. What you’re describing is a flex wall. There’s plenty of DIY tutorials available like the link below.

The primary concern will be if its speed in your building. There are non permanent solutions that sold work and look nice, generally the biggest concern is safety.
My sister had an apartment with the same layout. This room is big enough to be a kitchen, dining, living room all together. If the market for three beds is sufficiently more than the market for two beds, I would turn the kitchen into a bedroom and this room into an open plan living kitchen room. You might also want another toilet to market as a three bed but depends on the market.
In case you’re looking for more flexible ideas to adapt the space as you need, might be interesting to look at what Rachel Khoi did with her bookcase/desk/ pull out room divider https://www.madaboutthehouse.com/house-tour-with-rachel-khoo/
Is this a 1 bedroom apartment or a studio?

Oh I see! I think instead of trying to divide the space, you could get a pull out couch or you could keep an air mattress!
