Mixed-use properties are often at the heart of thriving communities. Blending the requirements of residential, commercial, retail and cultural facilities to create a single community hub takes added levels of precision, coordination and understanding.
From ‘The Shard’ in London, Western Europe’s tallest mixed-use building, to Dubai’s One Za’abeel, which boasts the world’s longest cantilever, our teams are used to delivering record-breaking community landmarks on time and on budget by embracing innovative processes and techniques. Doing so while making sustainability a focus is a challenge we relish; we’ve employed materials reuse, retrofit and more in order to deliver net-zero mixed-use facilities in urban locations.
Leaving a lasting legacy is the motivation behind our mixed-use teams. Our mixed-use properties impact people’s lives, whether through their work, their retail, or their leisure. Our understanding of people is key to our delivery and our success. We work in partnership with local communities, demonstrating our respect and prioritising collaboration through community engagement, so that from start to finish, our mixed-use developments are about the communities they serve.
Sustainability at the heart
Sustainability is key to our mixed-use offering. We strive to further circularity principles wherever possible in our builds, establishing a system for materials passports to more easily keep track of materials that can be reused. We routinely achieve LEED and BREEAM certifications for our mixed-use builds and we’ve achieved ‘Gold’ certifications many times; the highest standards of green building certification.
Tackling complexity through collaboration
Delivering a space that can be many things to many people requires collaboration at the highest level. At Mace, we are collaborators. We’re perfectly positioned to achieve this. We leverage our decades of experience delivering some of the world’s more noteworthy projects to share knowledge across teams and develop tools to improve our practices.
One with the community
Whether working with private developers, local authorities or community agencies, we have made a difference to urban spaces across the globe. Beyond the unique opportunity they provide to bring our different skills and experts together, mixed-use developments excite us at Mace because of their impact on communities. By working closely with our clients and local communities we develop legacy plans around our projects, to ensure that, beyond a new building, we leave the communities we impact better off than we found them.
On Time. To budget. As standard.
We provide our clients accurate cost and schedule advice from the first day of our project’s lifecycle. Our estimates are benchmarked and tested to create reliable baselines throughout. Our teams work to anticipate fluctuations and redefine boundaries to uncover efficiencies. All with the aim of delivering to the agreed timelines and budgets. Every time.
Circular economy
At Mace, we are leading the call for a circular construction industry. To date, we have published three in depth reports on circular economy.
The first, Closing the Circle examined the sustainability and economic potential of London and other global megacities transitioning to circular construction practices. The second, Closing Material loops created alongside Arup was a study of carbon intensive construction materials like concrete, steel and glazing. Our most recent work involved convening a ‘hack-a-thon' style workshop series with key partners and suppliers.
We want to close the circle, and we want you to join us on this journey.
