              MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT APPRAISAL 
                
                
                
                	Mixed Use Developments have typically consisted of older
					downtown properties, with areas dedicated to a variety of uses, sometimes
					without professional planning. These properties in many cases evolved from the
					expansion of an area as growth dictated, with little forethought.
                
 One of the most recent trends in suburban real estate is
					that of a Professionally Planned Mixed Use Development. While this is a revival
					of sorts from the small town clusters of various types of downtown office,
					retail and residential properties, todays mixed use property is very different.
					It has spawned out of the need to reduce travel while offering more convenience
					to those of us who live, work and shop in heavily populated areas. These well
					planned properties offer a variety of complimentary services and uses with the
					proper infrastructure including sidewalks, parking and green area, not found in
					many less planned developments. We find that many of todays mixed use
					properties are high profile properties involving offices, retail stores,
					restaurants and bars, along with high end residential apartments. Such a
					combination makes for a pedestrian friendly community and permits many
					residents to enjoy a lifestyle free of commutes and associated transportation
					costs.
 
 Whether a Mixed Use property is of the older and more
					traditional type, or a newer professionally planned community, our firm is
					qualified to appraise it. We offer service throughout the country and are
					capable of offering appraisals on existing or prebuilt properties from plans
					and specification. We also offer subdivision appraisals in cases where Planned
					Use Development land is offered to builders and investors for construction
					separate and apart from that of the land developer.
