Beyond the High-Rise: Unlocking Value in Suburban Mixed-Use

The traditional line separating vibrant urban commercial hubs from quiet residential suburbs is blurring rapidly across Texas. Many seasoned investors often overlook the immense potential of mixed-use developments situated in secondary markets just outside major city centers.

These hybrid assets offer unique resilience against economic shifts by creating self-sustaining micro-economies where residents can live, work, and socialize within a single footprint. Tenants tend to stay longer when their daily needs are met within a walkable radius. We are increasingly advising our commercial clients to evaluate these emerging zones in North Dallas and the greater Austin metro area for stable and long-term yields that pure office spaces may no longer provide.
