Mixed-use developments are a combination of residential and non-residential buildings that are planned and developed within a city, municipality and/or state. These real estate projects can range from a single building to an entire neighborhood, and are typically developed to be responsive to a specific environment.

Along with infusing commercial and industrial development with residential living, mixed-use development projects aim to offer a variety of benefits: improvements in home affordability, walkability between housing, workplaces and other amenities, and stronger neighborhoods. Done right, mixed-use developments are designed to not only incorporate various types of real estate together, but complement them.
