“…Many residents, especially those of suburban areas in the USA, see mixed land uses as a threat to their communities (Kotkin, 2010). While many have argued that mixed development is capable of addressing city sustainability by reconciling environmental, social and economic dimensions, DeLisle and Grissom (2013) opined that mixed development may pose a threat to city sustainability goals. Furthermore, while mixed development may reduce the housing deficit, it may also accidentally emphasise the socio-spatial inequality resulting from occupational polarisation if the planning is not supported by appropriate affordable housing policies (Moos et al , 2018).…”

“…Yet, in spite of these constraints, mixed development is generally seen as an important instrument in urban planning for city development and growth and that its benefits exceed its constraints are largely taken for granted. Therefore, like in many countries like The Netherlands (Hoppenbrouwer and Louw, 2005), the UK (Rowley, 1996), Canada (Moos et al , 2018), the USA (DeLisle and Grissom, 2013), China (Kong et al , 2015), Singapore, Australia, Thailand and Hong Kong, the demand for residential building in mixed development in Malaysia is increasing unabated. In fact, the supply of mixed development is a major part of the national policy on city development and revitalisation.…”

“…Meanwhile, it is strategic to examine the satisfaction of the residential occupants of the mixed development to support developers and stakeholders in Malaysia to distinguish and improve the performance of the mixed development and the cities. In support of this thesis, drawing from experience in the USA, DeLisle and Grissom (2013) opined that data are required to guide the location, design, occupancy and operational strategies to improve the prospects of achieving the goals and objectives of the mixed development. Without such data, it will be difficult to make improvements to the mixed development and to ensure that the occupants are deriving value for the money invested.…”

Purpose The demand for residential units in mixed development is increasing because of a better understanding of the benefits and functions of mixed development. However, there is a lack of study on the performance of the residential buildings in the mixed development. The purpose of this study is to investigate the satisfaction level of the occupants of residential buildings in mixed developments. Design/methodology/approach The research developed a questionnaire instrument that included 17 factors to measure the expectations and actual satisfaction of the residences in the mixed development. Data were collected using a survey questionnaire from five mixed developments in Greater Kuala Lumpur and analysed with service quality and matrix chart models. Findings The data revealed that while the expectations of the residential building users in mixed developments were not excessive, their satisfaction levels were not high. The price of residential buildings in mixed developments is exorbitant. Many of the occupants have relatively high actual satisfaction, even though some of them are disappointed in some of the services or benefits that are expected in mixed developments. The occupants are not interested in the nearness of the mixed development to public transport facilities, suggesting a high urge for private car ownership and poor public transport facilities. Originality/value The findings will be useful to developers, design teams, city planners and policymakers. Implicit in the findings of this research is the lack of a benchmark for the performance of luxury housing. From an ontological standpoint, the main findings of this study are generalisable to other cities in and outside of Malaysia.

“…The difficulty to operate empirical studies on mixeduse development value is attributed to the ambiguity of the data, e.g. the heterogeneity of different projects, ambiguous classification for multi-phase projects and ambiguous classification for some vertical mixed-use buildings where only the ground floor is for retail use (DeLisle & Grissom, 2013). Capozza and Li (1994) discussed the one-time land conversion option from one use to another.…”

Real Option and Vertical Mixed-Use Development

Vertical mixed-use development is a favourite choice in urban development in high-density Asian cities to increase the land use efficiency. The flexibility of construction timing and the restrictions by lease contracts in vertical mixeduse projects are usually different from horizontal ones and single-use properties. To improve the valuation for vertical mixed-use projects, this study re-examines the real option pricing model. Simultaneous development for different uses and a finite maximum waiting period are the major characteristics of these projects. An approach is introduced to determine whether to develop a mixed-use project vertically or horizontally on the basis of a statistics called the critical height premium. The vertical mixed-use project pricing model can be further verified by containing a height premium if market price information is derived from non-vertical mixed-use properties. This study suggests a more comprehensive real option approach to quantify the advantages and disadvantages of operating vertical mixed-use developments.

“…Such multifaceted programs can promote social equity and inclusiveness by offering a variety of housing options to people with a wide range of economic abilities. These potential social benefits of bringing a diverse range of amenities and services together can lead to enhanced safety and increased movement independence, especially for socially disadvantaged groups [6].…”

The paper presents an analysis of collaborative processes in delivering mixed-use housing developments, with a focus on the adoption and roles of digital collaboration to address complex challenges. Extending the collaborative practice (CP) model, the research utilises a qualitative approach and an instrumental case study involving nine semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders from an award-winning mixed-use housing development in Australia. The study identifies key collaboration elements, such as early project establishment, a well-defined brief, and an adaptive integrated digital plan relevant to the interdisciplinary team. The scarcity of successful “extreme” mixed-use cases globally highlights the need for a core conceptual model for collaboration in complex housing developments, focused on digital collaboration, to support future projects in the sector. The research emphasises social innovation in mixed-use housing developments and highlights the importance of effective digital collaboration for addressing environmental, economic, and social sustainability needs. Contributions to the field extend both theoretical and empirical aspects of the CP model, critically exploring the potential of digital collaboration in mixed-use housing projects. The findings reveal critical elements for establishing a digital collaboration plan, leveraging technology to enhance stakeholder experiences and project delivery. The research is especially relevant in the post-COVID era, where digital collaboration gains significance for the industry.
