mixed-use building

Combined-function real estate

A mixed-use building combines different functions—typically residential, commercial, and sometimes office space—within a single structure.

A common configuration has retail shops or restaurants on the ground floor with apartments above: The mixed-use building had a coffee shop downstairs and twelve condos on the upper floors.

The concept supports walkable urban neighborhoods where people can live near where they shop and work.
