Overview

Mixed-Use Development covers the development of integrated projects combining residential, retail, office, hospitality, and public space — urban infill, town centers, and transit-oriented developments. It reflects the demand for walkable, amenity-rich, live-work-play environments and is increasingly the model for redeveloping obsolete single-use sites.

Demand is driven by urbanization, placemaking, and the diversification benefits of multiple uses, with mixed-use offering resilience and the ability to reposition struggling single-use property (such as malls). It is a fragmented, complex, capital-intensive development model led by experienced mixed-use developers; the construction is profiled under Construction & Engineering, and the resulting assets under Commercial Real Estate.
