After several decades of commercial strip malls and suburban single family home construction, the trend over the past several decades is toward the construction or renovation of mixed-use, multi-purpose facilities. Mixed-use projects have the following advantages:

- repurpose vacant and abandoned buildings or parcels of land; and
- generate local tax revenue.
