Types of Mixed-Use Developments

Mixed-use development refers to blending different land uses in a single project. Combining residential, commercial, and recreational spaces in one location creates a dynamic environment that promotes a sense of community and convenience.

These developments often feature a mix of housing options, office spaces, retail stores, restaurants, entertainment venues, and public spaces. By integrating various activities, mixed-use developments aim to provide a balanced and sustainable lifestyle for residents and visitors alike.

This guide will explore eight different types of mixed-use development, shedding light on their defining features and potential contributions to vibrant urban environments.


 

Vertical Mixed-Use Development

Vertical mixed-use development refers to projects integrating different uses within a single building or tower. Typically, these developments combine residential units with commercial, office, or retail spaces. By stacking uses vertically, vertical mixed-use projects optimize land utilization, maximize density, and create a compact, multi-functional environment. This type of development often offers the convenience of living, working, and accessing amenities within proximity, reducing the need for extensive commuting and promoting a vibrant, walkable neighborhood.

​

​

Horizontal Mixed-Use Development

Contrasting with vertical mixed-use development, horizontal mixed-use projects consist of separate buildings or clusters of buildings that house different uses. These developments typically feature a mix of residential, commercial, and retail spaces, often arranged around shared open spaces or pedestrian-friendly streetscapes. Horizontal mixed-use developments promote walkability, foster a sense of community, and provide opportunities for interaction between residents, workers, and visitors. They offer flexibility in terms of design, allowing for creating diverse architectural styles and incorporating green spaces and outdoor amenities.

​

​

Retail-Residential Mixed-Use Developments

Retail-residential mixed-use developments combine residential units with retail spaces, creating a symbiotic relationship between living and shopping. These projects often feature ground-floor retail stores and upper-level residential units. By integrating retail establishments within residential communities, residents have convenient access to essential goods and services. This type of mixed-use development fosters a sense of community and vitality by bringing together residents and local businesses.

​

​

Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)

Transit-oriented developments (TODs) are designed to maximize access to public transportation, such as bus and train stations. These developments are typically located within walking distance of transit hubs, reducing the reliance on private vehicles. These mixed-use projects aim to capitalize on the accessibility and convenience of public transportation by creating vibrant communities that encourage a reduction in car dependency. TODs typically combine residential, commercial, and retail spaces, often focusing on high-density development and pedestrian-friendly design. By prioritizing connectivity and transit options, TODs promote sustainable living, reduce traffic congestion, and enhance residents’ overall quality of life.

​

​

Urban Renewal and Revitalization

Mixed-use development can play a vital role in urban renewal and revitalization efforts. These projects often involve redeveloping underutilized or blighted areas, breathing new life into neglected neighborhoods. Urban renewal mixed-use developments blend a range of uses, including residential, commercial, cultural, and recreational spaces, creating vibrant, inclusive communities. By attracting investments, improving infrastructure, and fostering economic growth, these projects act as catalysts for urban rejuvenation and social revitalization.

​

​

Destination Mixed-Use Development

Destination mixed-use developments aim to create unique and experiential environments that draw visitors from afar. These projects often include a combination of entertainment, leisure, hospitality, retail, and dining offerings. Destination developments, such as themed entertainment districts, lifestyle centers, or resort-like complexes, are designed to provide an immersive experience for visitors. They serve as hubs for entertainment, cultural activities, and tourism, boosting the local economy and enhancing the region’s appeal as a visitor destination.

​

Waterfront Mixed-Use Development

Waterfront mixed-use development developments often incorporate a mix of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces that capitalize on scenic views and waterfront amenities. Waterfront developments revitalize urban areas, offering leisure activities, waterfront dining, and water-based transportation opportunities. They create attractive destinations that promote tourism and enhance the quality of life for residents.
