Jacob Frydman Shows Why There’s a Rise in Mixed-Use Property Developments

Demographic trends are a key driver for the rise in demand for mixed use properties.
New York, NY - May 3, 2019 /MarketersMedia/ —
The end of the 1990s and the beginning of 2000s were marked by a reversal in the single-use urban planning trends. As a result, mixed use property development saw an increased demand. Cities across the US have loosened zoning regulations separating residential and commercial buildings in recent years, paving the way for developers to meet the growing demand for mixed use properties, says Jacob Frydman. Large scale multi-use properties are also increasingly advertised by municipalities as prestige projects to revitalize city centers and bolster cultural identity through the mix of cultural and commercial elements.
Demographic trends are a key driver for the rise in demand for mixed use properties. Maturing millennials (who are entering the property and rental market) and downsizing baby boomers are looking for dense urban spaces with access to transportation and services. In 2017, the National Community and Transportation Preference Survey found that 62% of millennials and 45% of baby boomers preferred “walkable communities” and shorter commutes when deciding where to live. Income is another important driver of preferences, with 41% respondents earning less than $50,000 per year citing access to public transportation as a key determinant of housing choices.
Constraints on land use also incentivize the pursuit of mixed use projects. The more efficient use of land can decrease the environmental footprint of development by integrating energy efficient design, according to Jacob Frydman. Such projects are ideal for urban areas where space is already limited, such as coastal and island cities. Municipalities can reduce infrastructure costs by almost 40%, and operating costs by 10%, when servicing multi-use, compact properties versus larger lots. Although these developments tend to be harder to build and finance due to greater project complexity, their ability to provide higher returns compared to single use properties continue to attract developers.
Finally, considerable investment benefits support the business cases for mixed use developments. For investors, the combination of commercial and residential property diversifies the tenant base, reducing financial risk of operations. According to Deloitte, commercial tenants derive economic benefits from frequent and increased exposure to pedestrian traffic in a diversified development. Walkability, along with proximity to amenities, can command a premium in the urban property market and is correlated with increases in resale value. Moreover, research by real estate advisors HR&A reveals that companies are willing to pay premiums to operate in mixed used quarters. The higher quality of life is a pull factor for talent, enabling firms to retain a competitive edge.
