Building vibrant communities where people live, work, and shop. From residential over retail to transit-oriented developments, we construct mixed-use projects that create walkable neighborhoods throughout Georgia and Florida.
From neighborhood retail with apartments above to large-scale urban developments, we have the expertise to build mixed-use projects of every type and scale.
Apartments or condos above ground-floor retail, restaurant, or commercial space. The classic mixed-use configuration.
Individual units combining commercial space on the ground floor with living quarters above for owner-operators and entrepreneurs.
Higher-density mixed-use developments near transit stations, designed for walkability and reduced parking ratios.
Mixed-use developments on constrained urban sites, often requiring creative solutions for parking, staging, and construction access.
Walkable mixed-use developments creating new town centers or revitalizing historic main streets with retail and residential.
Mixed-use combining office space with residential units, creating live-work-play environments for professionals.
Mixed-use construction often requires combining different structural systems. We have experience with podium construction, wrap buildings, and other configurations that maximize density while managing costs.

The right ground-floor commercial mix creates vibrant, walkable neighborhoods. We build shell spaces and tenant improvements for restaurants, retail, offices, and other commercial uses that complement residential above.
Mixed-use construction requires coordinating multiple use types, stakeholders, and delivery timelines. Our process ensures smooth integration.
Detailed budgets by use type, value engineering, and construction schedules coordinating residential and commercial delivery.
Site development, foundations, parking structures, and podium construction establishing the building platform.
Building construction with attention to use separations, commercial shell requirements, and residential finishes.
Coordinated certificates of occupancy allowing residential leasing and commercial tenant buildouts on your timeline.

Mixed-use construction timelines depend on project scale and complexity. Small mixed-use buildings (10-30 residential units with ground-floor retail) typically take 14-18 months. Mid-size developments (50-100 units with multiple retail spaces) generally require 18-24 months. Large urban mixed-use projects with structured parking may take 24-36 months. We provide detailed schedules during preconstruction that coordinate residential and commercial delivery timelines.
Mixed-use construction costs vary by component and configuration. Residential portions typically cost $175-$275 per square foot depending on finish level. Ground-floor retail shell space ranges from $125-$200 per square foot. Structured parking adds $25,000-$45,000 per space. Podium construction (concrete base with wood-frame above) costs more than traditional wood-frame but enables higher density. We provide detailed breakdowns by use type during preconstruction.
Yes, mixed-use projects often require coordinating different delivery schedules for residential and commercial components. Retail tenants may need early access for buildout while residential units are still under construction. We plan construction sequencing to accommodate these needs, including separate entrances, utility connections, and certificate of occupancy phasing. We work with your leasing teams on both sides to align construction with your marketing timelines.
Absolutely. Many mixed-use projects require structured parking due to site constraints or density requirements. We build podium parking (concrete structure with wood-frame residential above), wrapped parking (garage surrounded by residential units), and standalone parking structures connected to mixed-use buildings. We understand the structural, waterproofing, and ventilation requirements for parking integrated with residential and commercial space.
We build ground-floor commercial spaces for virtually any use including restaurants and cafes (with full commercial kitchen infrastructure), retail stores and boutiques, professional offices, fitness studios, medical and dental offices, banks and financial services, and co-working spaces. Each use has different requirements for ceiling heights, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and grease/ventilation that we address during preconstruction planning.
