mixed-use
Residential and commercial
Mixed-use describes buildings or developments that combine multiple purposes—typically residential, commercial, and sometimes office or retail space—within a single structure or complex.
A mixed-use development might have shops and restaurants on the ground floor with apartments above, creating walkable neighborhoods where people can live, work, and shop in close proximity.
The new mixed-use project downtown will include condos, a grocery store, and coworking space.
