Mixed Use Development

Mixed use development is an urban, suburban / village development or single building that blends a combination of residential, commercial, cultural, institutional, or industrial uses. 

Mixed use developments are physically and functionally integrated, providing pedestrian access.

Mixed use development may also refer to a mixed use of real estate developments within one building, a complex of buildings or town center developed to combine necessary living amenities within a walking distance.

Mixed use benefits include:

• greater housing variety and density
• reduced distances between housing, essential businesses and workplaces
• stronger neighborhood themes and characteristics
• pedestrian friendly environments
