He also serves as a chief financial officer at Cypress Development and oversees mixed-use projects in North Dakota.
Mixed-use projects feature buildings and utilities for residential and non-residential purposes. They combine pedestrian functions with utilities and public amenities on a broad selection of scales. Below are some of the benefits of mixed-use development projects:
1. Offers better use of space
Specific mixed-use development designs deliver optimum space occupation through function combination. Vertical-style mixed-use projects allow for multiple uses in a single unit, which means that public utilities could reside at the bottom half of a building. The top is reserved for residential purposes. Investors could benefit from the multiple income streams the efficient use of space avails.
2. Allows for complimentary services
Within the horizontal-styled mixed-use projects, there are discrete buildings for single purposes, positioned across and adjacent to one another over a piece of land. It creates a broad option of complimentary use cases that people can access within a walkable distance. The integration makes a sustainable ecosystem, with residential functions relying on non-residential ones and vice-versa.
3. Saves development costs
Mixed-use projects require intensive planning, but the cost of preparing a sustainable composite plan would be offset by the overall financial cost saving on the area’s actual development.
