Mixed-use Developments - Commerically More Viable

A Leading building firm, which has invested in several mixed-use developments around Las Vegas, feels that these projects provide economic viability that let the project to be taken up in the first place. Else many of these projects will never be constructed.

Mixed-use development allows for diversified incomes streams from residential, commercial, retail, and other groups. For example - banks, shops, commercial establishments, eat-outs, restaurants, condos each provide a different income stream to the developer.

But on the negative side investors would rather invest in fully apartment space or fully commercial space. Then you have issues about parking, construction, security that normally wouldn't arise in a single use development.

But the problems of shrinking developable land and rising real estate prices are forcing both developers and buyers to experiment with various models.

Master-planned community in Henderson Wins support form Council

The next big planned community coming up in Henderson won support and praise from the City Council last week. The same high-density design concept, which the developer used in an earlier project, had been criticized for forcing too many people into too small neighborhood. But after a visit to the township members changed their mind and were now enthusiastic in having similar innovative projects coming up.

South Edge, which is the next project, could one day bring in as many as 28,750 residents to 1,940 acres south of the Henderson Executive Airport. The Focus Property Group development will include 11,500 housing units ranging in size from apartments to 6,000-square-foot estate homes.

The council members unanimously approved the development agreement and a zone change for South Edge, heaping generous praise on the project and all the work that went into it. The design concept also known as "New Urbanism" or "neo-traditional," seeks to mirror pre-World War II towns where people could walk to the market and their kids could walk to school
