Mixed-Use
People are finding their way back to the city. They want places that are alive, places that are vibrant, and places where they can live, work and play. Mixed-use centers are destinations that excite people, that pull them in and hold them. They need to work to create great urban places and benefit the public realm.
The perfect mixed-use project will create a property that is built around the pedestrian, with long-term value and livability in mind. It will be free of predictability and formula, instead creating a singular experience that is not replicated anywhere else. SSOE understands the unique aspects of designing mixed-use properties, as there are plenty factors to consider – i.e. politics, economics, and real estate, just to name a few.
That’s why we study and evaluate the neighborhood’s character and develop a plan to create a property that has a real sense of place. Mixed-use properties should belong, not stand out. They need to have spirit and uniqueness, yet speak to the history of an area. Our experience spans from planning and feasibility studies through project delivery – implementing principles of proven urbanism, connectivity and sustainability.
