Mixed Use

raSmith’s civil and structural engineers understand the nuances of mixed-use developments as trends move toward creating unique destinations that integrate live, work and play. We conduct thorough due diligence that uncovers any “unknowns” and turns them into “knowns.” Additional consideration is given as to whether the site will meet the client’s desired mix of housing, shopping, dining and/or entertainment.

Our staff has worked on hundreds of projects and hold licenses in nearly every state in the U.S. We are members of ICSC (the International Council of Shopping Centers) and participate annually as a major sponsor of the CenterBuild conference which is geared toward the design, development and construction of shopping centers.
