USF Breaks Ground on $500M Mixed-Use Venture

Why this matters

Mixed-use is where the most interesting urban repositioning is happening. Office-to-residential conversions in Manhattan, Washington, and Philadelphia have moved from pro-forma exercises to closed transactions, and walkable suburban densification is drawing patient capital with longer hold periods than the traditional core or value-add fund structures support. In Tampa, mixed-use programs continue to anchor large-format redevelopments, with hospitality and multifamily as the principal income drivers and ground-floor retail as the demand pull. For allocators, mixed-use offers exposure to multiple property types within a single basis, which has become attractive as monoline sector forecasts have widened.
