Mixed-use properties
Mixed-use properties are becoming increasingly popular with both investors and tenants. Combining different uses at one location offers many advantages.
With mixed-use properties, the decreasing number of available areas, especially in inner-city locations, can be ideally exploited through this type of development. Mixed-use properties bundle different functions and areas of life under one roof. Mixed properties are where people live and work, shop and exercise, receive further training and take advantage of leisure activities. There are no commute times and there are only a few floors between work and leisure time. This is efficient, saves resources and is therefore particularly popular among young people. In addition, the growing distance between generations can be bridged and people of different age groups can become closer again.
Such a project also makes economic sense in times of rising property prices. Risk diversification is particularly important for investors. Single-use properties are highly dependent on market cycles. The respective project can include a mixture of the retail, catering, office, fitness, hotel, residential segments, but also urban uses and medical practices.
When planning a mixed-use property, it is important to adapt the individual tenants to the environment and catchment area in a sensible way. We are very familiar with the issues that need to be taken into account in this context, such as the different needs of the tenants, distribution of operating costs, sound insulation, restaurant expansion, etc.
For sustainable neighborhoods, we take into account the necessary aspects that are required for successful mixed use:
- Flexible adjustments to the usage structure Acceleration of structural change caused by the pandemic
- Housing for a wide variety of user groups
- Multi- and intermodal mobility
- Urban working environments and supply concepts
- Social meeting places, cultural and leisure activities
- Quality of open spaces, greenery, climate adaptation
An example of a mixed-use property we are developing is the Husemann Karree in Bochum.
Husemann Karree Bochum
With the desire to modernize Bochum's city center Husemann Karree Bochum was created. There is a diverse range of offerings here, from restaurants, hotels, retail and office space; a development that would certainly make its namesake proud.
Ems-Quartier Meppen
A place where work and leisure, sport and enjoyment, living and travel come together. From 2026 onwards the Ems-Quartier Meppen will not only impress with its diversity, but also with its attractive location right next to the Hase-Altarm.
NordWestZentrum Frankfurt
The NordWestZentrum is not only one of the busiest and largest shopping centers in Germany, but also serves as a meeting place for Frankfurt's population with its own subway station, an event hall, a hotel, a thermal bath and numerous apartments and offices.
All projects
HBB has realised a long time ago that the single use of properties, especially in inner cities, is a waste of resources and is working hard to develop and implement innovative concepts for mixed-use properties.
