MIXED - USE DEVELOPMENT

 A mixed-use development is a
combination of residential and non-
residential buildings that are planned and
developed within a city, municipality and/or
state.

The two most common forms of mixed-use

design are:

Vertical. As a single, multi-story building, a typical

mix places apartments on the upper levels and
retail or offices at street level. A basement level
provides parking and/or access to underground
public transportation.
Horizontal. Spread over several buildings, such
as a city block or around an open space or courtyard, these individual buildings serve one or two
specific uses while creating a microcosm within a neighborhood.

CONFIGURATIONS
VERTICAL INTEGRATION OF USES
 Low-rise to Mid-rise Structures (2 to 6 Stories)
 High-rise Towers (7 Stories +)
 Integrated Multi-story Structures
 Combines different uses within the same building
 Provides for more public uses on the lower floor
such as retail shops, restaurants, of commercial
businesses
 Provides for more private uses on the upper floors
such as residential units, hotel rooms, or office space.
 HORIZONTAL INTEGRATION OF USES
 Town Centers
 Urban Villages
 Consists of single-use buildings within a mixed-use
zoning district parcel, which allows for a range of land
uses in a single development project
 Provides for a variety of complementary and
integrated uses that are walkable and within a given neighborhood, tract or land, or
development project

 Marine Gateway / Perkins+Will

Mixed-use development in south Vancouver that has reinvented the concept of transit-oriented
development (TOD) to one that is transit-integrated.

Marine Gateway seamlessly integrates a transit hub into the design of the community itself,
creating convenient access.

Marine Gateway is comprised of two neighbourhood plazas:

 15-storeys of office space
 3-storey retail podium
 11-screen cinema
 2 residential towers at 25 and 35-storeys.

RETAIL
Over 240,000 SF of daily convenience, service, fitness and entertainment retail amenities,
including:
 Entertainment – 11-screen Cineplex VIP Movie Theatre
 Fitness – Steve Nash Fitness
 Drugstore – Shoppers Drug Mart
 Banks – TD, CIBC and BMO
 Shops & Services – BCAA Insurance, Express News, Marine Cambie Dental, Marine
Gateway Liquor Store, Marine View Optometry, Pure Beauty Bar, Rogers Wireless,
Sleep Country, Vancouver South Pet Hospital and Winners
 Restaurants & Food – A&W, Dublin Crossing Irish Pub and Liquor Store, Fresh Slice
Pizza, Neptune Palace, Pink Elephant Thai, Starbucks, Subway, T&T Supermarket and
OFFICE
 1,500 jobs at Marine Gateway’s 250,000 SF Class A LEED™ Gold office building
 High-quality premises with panoramic views – Vancouver Island, North Shore Mountains,
Georgia Strait and Mt Baker.
 Dedicated fitness facility and bike storage, complete with change rooms, showers and
lockers.
RESIDENTIAL
 46 dedicated market rental units
 415 residential condominium units (sold out!)
 Over 800 residents

Further benefiting the community is the development’s sustainable design strategy, which
includes a district energy, geo-exchange heating and cooling system with an ambient heat
recovery energy loop, thermal mass, sun shading devices, and green roofs.

The design of the high street and public plazas were one of the most important aspects to the
project’s success by bringing people into the pedestrian environment and into the retail spaces.

“Good planning allows for retail, office, residential, and transit to all be co-located together”, says
Dan Turner, executive vice president of PCI Developments. “A complete community has all
these uses and this is what we achieved at Marine Gateway.”

 Paolo Venturella: Mixed Use Tower In Madrid

Standing along the main axis of the city, the proposal raises the urban space in a spiraling
fashion from the street level. a number of public green terraces are generated at different heights
along the tower.

Functions are arranged according to the site’s solar exposure: living spaces are placed with a
south orientation for maximum natural daylighting while ‘working’ blocks are perpendicularly to
facilitate ventilation.

Urban terraces, hot and cold functions arranged according to solar exposure, entry paths, interior
views
  Cebu Mixed-Use Development / R.SU + Architects (Vista Suarez)
A mixed-use development in Cebu
City, Philippines.The design concept of the
projects hinges on the synergy of its core
responsibilities. These 4 components are
RETAIL, OFFICE, HOTEL and
CONDO.The concept is to exude a sense
of "openness" for its users/tenants. By
applying green wall elements and plant
boxes with varying lengths at different
angles, the structure appears to be less
dense. With the aid of a progressive
vertical element in design, decks are
therefore created for the users to enjoy,
while still maintaining a density that is both
friendly and efficient.

 Retail and Commercial Shops
 Restaurants (Guests and Residents)

 Trio of Towers for Parramatta

Selected by an independent
design jury, the mixed-use scheme
features three towers, each
incorporating residential,
commercial, retail and public
spaces.

One of the key elements of the

proposal is the maximization of the
views afforded from its central
position, with the Sydney CBD
rising to the east, and the Blue
Mountains beyond
the Parramatta River to the north.
Yet this focus on connectivity is not exclusively visual, passageways encourage pedestrians to
walk across the plaza to the riverfront

 The proposal includes 964 residential

apartments, which are distributed across a 60-
story tower and two smaller buildings of 25
and 35 stories.

Amenities:
 Residential Apartments
 Commercial
 Various Retail
 Restaurant And Bar Facilities
 Civic Plaza By Mcgregor Coxall
 Function And Fitness Centres
 Rooftop Pool Club.

Option of a hotel and serviced apartment component

of up to 150 rooms and open spaces to create an
epicenter for the community

Architectural Concept:
The design was driven by the desire for the buildings to be recognised as both a collective as
well as individual entities.

Solar access, shading and view acted as catalysts for the orientation of the masses and the
articulation of the facades, with extra sensitivity taken to not overshadow or detract from the
existing historical context

In accordance with these principles, the tallest tower shifts in orientation in its uppermost
portion, creating visual interest in the Parramatta skyline.
 Regal Emporia
 Five levels of retail and a green terraced roof form a shopping and entertainment platform
directly connected to 45,000 sqm of office space distributed in two towers.

The towers are strategically positioned to enclose, shade and shelter a beautiful semi-sunken
out-door event space that opens up towards the residential vicinity.

Office Space

Fine Dining/ Food Court
