Mixed-use real estate projects are gaining momentum in India as developers seek to optimize land use and diversify income sources. These projects, which combine residential, commercial, retail, and hospitality spaces, are projected to deliver 20-25% higher returns compared to single-use assets. As of 2025, 1,045 acres from eight land transactions have been designated for mixed-use development, indicating a significant shift in urban planning. Experts predict that by 2030, mixed-use properties will represent 35-40% of the urban real estate supply in India, driven by changing consumer preferences for integrated 'live-work-play' environments and enhanced connectivity through infrastructure projects. Institutional investors are increasingly favoring these developments due to their potential for diversified income streams and resilience against sector-specific downturns. However, successful implementation depends on effective planning and management to avoid congestion and inefficiencies.
