Lesscher}, year = {2024}, title = {What are the key differences in funding strategies for mixed-use properties and their risks?}, abstract = {Mixed-use real estate is a type of real estate that can be divided into two or more uses within one development. This type of property has a variety of benefits for communities and their environment; however, due to the complexity of these developments, challenges arise in the planning and development phases. This study focuses on revealing the key differences in funding strategies for mixed-use properties and their associated risks. Using information collected during interviews with stakeholders, a framework was developed to describe the different phases of mixed-use property development by examining the characteristics of risks associated with, and descriptions of mixed-use properties. The interviews revealed that each function of a mixed-use property faces unique challenges, which highlights the complexity of mixed-use properties. These complexities entail examining the financial performances of the properties, including their valuations and the risks associated with the properties. It can be concluded that mixed use remains a challenging concept in real estate, as stakeholders have difficulty dealing with the associated risks. This paper also discusses areas of improvement in developing and funding mixed-use properties and new issues to be addressed in future studies; a critical review of the current research is also included.}, url = {https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/4808/} }
