The Magic of Mixed-Use Developments
It seems so simple and straightforward, doesn’t it? Surely, to create a successful Mixed-Use Development just requires selecting the most complimentary property elements you can imagine and combining them, right?
Wrong!
And even worse, if one lacks the experience of developing the planned added elements, awful problems can arise that may never be possible to remedy after the project is built.
I’ve seen my share of “see through” projects around the world and they’re not pretty! And some of them have been created by companies and people we would all consider to be leaders in their fields!
This book is the remedy, written by 17 subject matter experts with a combined hundreds of years of successful Mixed-Use Development experience, using global best practices we’ve learned working at home and internationally. It’s the antidote to the poisonous, uninformed experimentation that can kill a project even before it begins.
