Mixed-use center

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mixed-use centers are facilities that house offers from the retail or service sector under one roof. A clear assignment to one of these areas is therefore not possible. They should combine experience with consumption and thereby represent a special attraction for customers. Their diversified range of offers can include shopping opportunities, services, leisure and cultural events, sports offers, overnight accommodation, evening entertainment and similar offers.

Characteristic

Mixed-use centers are often created in large-scale joint projects between industry and retail .

Their transport links are above average and there is usually a connection to the high-performance infrastructure (rapid transit railway, motorway, etc.). Therefore, these centers have supra-regional importance and attract visitors from the wider area. For the local population they often represent a meeting point, which gives them a socio-cultural component. This far-reaching importance creates multiplier effects , which makes further investments attractive for companies and service providers.

These mixed-use centers often have a specific motto , for example to establish a specific brand or to make it popular. One speaks here of Brand Lands or Corporate Lands , whose offers are often directly related to the brand they are presenting. Experience plays a major role in this marketing, as this combination of experience and consumption creates a permanent connection to the brand for the customer.
