Saunders Global have been closely monitoring international trends in mixed use developments for many years, when this research was combined with our local consumer behaviour insights we have been able to consolidate our expertise into these complex shared architectural forms. Mixed use developments is all about balancing scale to create a harmony between retail, residential and commercial uses within a single architectural form. When balanced one can achieve a great sense of place, pulling together and creating a real walkable town centre.
With high property values shopping centres are turning to mixed use developments to find the extra value required to maintain development feasibility. However, the benefits are far greater and longer lasting that he simple return on investment, creating real people places that last the test of time is the testament to a successful project for all stakeholders.
