Mixed Use

A synergy between diverse uses
which connects people + place.

With mixed use developments, the big box anchor tenant is not enough, the public domain is now the new ‘anchor tenant’.

Mixed use developments have long been recognised for the synergies brought by combining commercial with retail, residential, and leisure. At their best they create meaningful places for people to enjoy, work and relax, supporting the trend toward finding authentic, vibrant places for people to connect with other people, whether at work or play. Experience is at the core of the new wave of developments. With mixed use developments, the big box anchor tenant is not enough, the public domain is now the new ‘anchor tenant’.

Through creativity across sectors and disciplines, Arkhefield has been at the forefront of Brisbane’s mixed use precincts. We deliver unique live, work, play destinations underpinned by a commitment to the public domain. Nundah Village , Portside and The Barracks developments, along with the masterplans for West Village and Waterfront Precinct are testament to the skill we bring in contributing to significant city-making projects.
