Key Terms
mixed-usetechnical
A mixed-use property combines multiple types of space—such as homes, shops, offices, and sometimes hotels or restaurants—within the same building or development, like a small neighborhood stacked together under one roof. For investors it matters because mixing uses can diversify income streams, boost foot traffic and demand, and spread risk across different tenant types, but also brings added complexity from zoning rules, management needs, and varied lease terms.
transit-orientedtechnical
Transit-oriented describes real estate or development that is planned and built to be close to public transportation hubs like train stations or bus lines, so people can reach work and services with short walks rather than long car trips. For investors it signals potential for higher demand, steadier rental incomes and lower parking or infrastructure costs—think of it like a storefront next to a busy subway exit that gets more steady foot traffic than a remote location.
Trophy-Classtechnical
Trophy-class describes an exceptionally high-quality, rare asset—such as an iconic office building, premium retail property, or a market-leading company—that commands premium prices because it is widely recognized, hard to replicate, and expected to hold value over time. For investors it matters because these assets tend to be more resilient in downturns, attract stable, creditworthy tenants or customers, and can boost a portfolio’s prestige and long-term returns much like a prized painting raises the value and standing of a collector’s gallery.
