How to Revitalize Urban Landscapes Through Mixed-Use Development

by Taylor Williams

By Lamar Wakefield, senior vice president, national practice leader for mixed-use, NELSON Worldwide In recent years, urban landscapes across the globe have witnessed a transformation fueled by mixed-use development. Cities are using sports and entertainment venues in particular as anchors for sizable mixed-use projects, creating vibrant destinations that not only attract crowds but also breathe new life into previously neglected urban areas. These developments have the power to serve as economic catalysts, creating new jobs, increasing foot traffic and generating tax revenue — and it all begins with great urban design. Creating Fan & Cultural Hubs A key element of these mixed-use developments is their ability to serve as hubs for fan and cultural activity. Before and after the main events or games, these districts are central gathering places where people can live, work and play. The incorporation of multifamily, office, retail and recreational spaces fosters a sense of community, making the urban environment more dynamic and engaging. Likewise, these multifunctional spaces can be used year-round to host festivals, markets and social events. This infusion of cultural richness adds to the vibrancy of the urban environment, attracting a diverse range of residents and visitors. In metro Atlanta, The Gathering at South …

Oxford Cos., Crawford Hoying Unveil Plans for 20-Acre Arbor South Mixed-Use Development in Ann Arbor, Michigan

by Kristin Harlow

ANN ARBOR, MICH. — Ann Arbor-based Oxford Cos. and Dublin, Ohio-based Crawford Hoying have unveiled plans to build Arbor South, a 20-acre mixed-use development in Ann Arbor’s south side. The multi-phased project is expected to include approximately 1,000 residential units, 76,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, three parking garages, an upscale hotel and multiple parks and community gathering spaces. Adjacent to I-94, the project site is located at Eisenhower Parkway and South State Street. Arbor South would be the first project on the city’s south side to receive approval under the City of Ann Arbor’s TC1 zoning ordinance, an initiative designed to increase density in areas outside of downtown Ann Arbor with a heavy focus on adding accessible housing to the market. Arbor South’s residential offerings will range from studios to three-bedroom apartments. Approximately 10 to 15 percent of the units will fall under the city’s affordable housing threshold. Additional project partners include Detroit-based architecture and design firm Lord Aeck Sargent and Ann Arbor-based civil engineer Midwestern Consulting. The development team is targeting fall 2024 for site plan approval, with the first residential building coming on line in summer 2026.

Whitman Family Development Unveils Plans for Mixed-Use Expansion at Bal Harbour Shops in Miami

by Kristin Harlow

MIAMI — Whitman Family Development has submitted plans for a mixed-use project at its Bal Harbour Shops in Miami’s Bal Harbour village. Plans call for 600 apartment units, 40 percent of which are earmarked for workforce housing and 60 percent of which will be luxury housing. There will also be a 70-room, 20-story hotel and an additional 45,700 square feet of retail space. Bal Harbour Shops comprises more than 100 shops, restaurants and entertainment options. The open-air, luxury retail center, which is home to brands such as Chanel, Gucci, Tiffany & Co. and Valentino, is currently undergoing a $550 million retail expansion that will add about 250,000 square feet, nearly doubling the center’s current retail space. The expansion will accommodate the addition of 35 new upscale stores and restaurants. The new housing development is made possible by Florida’s Live Local Act, a bipartisan bill passed by the Florida legislature last year in response to the critical need for affordable and attainable housing statewide. The legislation enables developers to build at higher density and building heights, so long as they commit to including attainable housing units. The law requires that local municipalities approve mixed-use residential projects in any area zoned commercial …

The property comprises a 23-story apartment tower, 1,250-space public parking garage and 170,000 square feet of retail space leased to tenants including Target and Sprouts Farmers Market.
