The largest and most innovative trend in urban real estate development
today is the designing and building of mixed-use development projects. With
increasing numbers of corporate entities, small-to-mid-sized businesses and
workers now moving from towns and suburban communities into city areas, more
urban living and commercial environments are essential. An ideal solution is
the creation of contemporary mixed-use developments.
These new, all-inclusive environments usually combine three different uses in
one building or complex, with each component making up 60 percent or less of
the total available space. Although some of these building plans and projects
are primarily residential or commercial centres that include ground level
retail areas, the ideal designs are successful structures and complexes that
are evenly balanced with the three separate, but coexisting, environments and
uses.
