Mixed-use developments. Redefining urban living. 🏡
In urban landscape, mixed-use developments are emerging as a dynamic solution to meet the changing needs of modern city dwellers. These developments seamlessly blend residential, office, retail, hospitality, and outdoor spaces, creating vibrant communities where residents can live, work, rest, and play. This holistic approach to urban planning is becoming increasingly relevant with the work-from-home (WFH) and work-from-anywhere (WFA) trends, as well as the urgent need to address housing shortages.
Here are two exemplary mixed-use projects that illustrate the potential of this concept. 👇
🏡 Vertikal Nydalen in Nordre Aker— once an industrial area and later a business hub, Nydalen in Oslo is transforming into a vibrant residential center. Snøhetta’s Vertikal Nydalen development epitomizes this transformation with its car-free town square and high-rise building.
🏡 Two Manhattan West in New York— located above the active railway tracks feeding Penn Station, Manhattan West is a massive development featuring two towers that bring two acres of public space, offices, residences, hospitality, and retail to a previously underdeveloped district.
Mixed-use developments illustrate how thoughtful urban planning can create lively, integrated communities. These projects not only maximize the use of space but also foster a sense of community and accessibility.
