Mixed-Use

Our mixed-use projects begin with smart planning that fosters a true sense of place and a symbiotic, mutually beneficial relationship among uses. Drawing from our broad range of disciplines and expertise, we understand how to strike the right balance of retail, residential, workplace and civic uses to help ensure visitors arrive for one reason—and stay for the rest.

Featured Projects
LA Live
As the centerpiece of the city's sports and entertainment district, the new L.A. Live mixed-use development is set to revitalize downtown Los Angeles with exciting, 24-hour attractions. Boasting two mixed-use anchor buildings composed of retail, restaurant, office, museum, and entertainment space, L.A. Live underscores the city's reputation as one of the world's most dynamic entertainment hubs.
Westfield San Francisco Centre
The ambitious redevelopment of San Francisco’s landmark Emporium Building evolved into one the most significant urban mixed-use projects in the United States. In addition to the preserved historic building, the new center offers a cutting-edge retail, entertainment, office and dining experience and the largest urban shopping environment west of the Mississippi.
Brickell Financial Center
Brickell Financial Center is a major, mixed-use development set to define an important and newly landscaped plaza in downtown Miami. Comprising two high-rise towers with office, retail, hospitality and luxury condominium space, the LEED Gold pre-certified project serves as a dynamic addition to Miami’s urban fabric.
Baraya
The diversification of Qatar's economy in the past decade has created significant opportunities for commercial growth and urban development. One such development, Baraya, sets a new standard in Qatar for urban living by creating a meaningful place with a human-scale aesthetic and an appreciation for sustainable growth.
City Crossing
In the heart of a former fishing village turned thriving metropolis stands City Crossing, a world-class mixed-use development that is serving as a catalyst for surrounding development. A model for future developments of its kind, the three-phase project blends a large retail center with hotel, office, residential, transit and public space.
Life Hub at Daning
In a former industrial neighborhood of northern Shanghai, The Life Hub at Daning has transformed the relatively under-utilized but fast-growing district of Zhabei into a trendy commercial zone with exclusive retail, entertainment, cultural and business offerings. Life Hub’s open plan and multi-structure design scheme capitalizes on the economic and cultural benefits of high-density, mixed-use urban development.
Legacy Town Center
As one of the first developments to specifically couple a suburban office environment with an urban mixed-use residential community, Legacy Town Center offers an array of high-density housing, street-level retail, restaurants, public green space, and entertainment attractions in a region that has traditionally been known for expansion and sprawl.
Ray Peloquin AIA NCARB, Vice President
“To us, mixed-use is about more than just the convergence of different uses. It’s about the convergence of services from architecture and planning to landscape and environmental graphic design. It’s about the convergence of market knowledge—how does retail affect residential and vice versa? It’s about the convergence of partners working together. At RTKL, we know the stronger and more comprehensive the interaction of the parts throughout the design process, the stronger the final project.”
