From Rendering to Reality: Mixed-Use Developments are Rising and Thriving

Blog|

Look around any major city, and it’s a safe bet that the cranes dotting the skyline are putting up a mixed-use development. What began as a response to the need for more flexible and sustainable spaces has evolved into a broader opportunity to revitalize entire neighborhoods by integrating residential, commercial, retail, and entertainment uses into a single, cohesive environment. 

As developers strive for diverse revenue streams and look to meet demand across several sectors, projects combining a mix of uses – typically retail, residential, office, and hotel – are in vogue.

Schwartz Media Strategies’ real estate practice, recognized among the top-5 in the U.S. by Commercial Observer, is guiding some of the country’s largest mixed-use projects from conception, through construction, and to completion.

From Miami Worldcenter in Downtown Miami, to One Beverly Hills in Los Angeles (the largest mixed use development currently rising on the west coast), our team is knee-deep in all facets of bringing a project to life, with a focus on winning approval, securing community support, and ensuring commercial success.

Below is a look at some of the exciting developments coming to life across our real estate portfolio, as well as several more in the pipeline.
