Mixed-use real estate programming

Build a mix of uses that draws people in, reassures investors and stands out in a tender.

An empty ground floor is expensive. So is a single-use scheme. We work with you on the mix of uses that gives people a reason to come, then to come back: leisure, sport, gaming, food, hospitality, training, health. Each use is chosen for its audience, its business model and what it brings to the others.

Your challenges

What a good programme must solve

A mixed-use project is judged on how it lives once delivered. Everything is decided during the set-up phase.

Stand out in a tender

In front of a jury, the concept counts as much as the architecture. A clear, well-argued programme of uses weighs in the final score.

Secure the leasing

Spaces designed for real operators, identified early and committed through letters of intent before the planning application.

Create footfall all week

Uses take over from one another from morning to night, Monday to Sunday. The venue no longer depends on a single peak.

Reassure investors

Business models built with the operators themselves, and rents consistent with their figures.

Our method

From market study to signed LOIs

Five stages, carried out with your project team. We can also step in on just one of them.

  1. Market and opportunity study

    Territory, audiences, competition, existing facilities: we measure what the site can really support before drawing anything.

  2. Concept and positioning

    A guiding idea that gives the venue its identity and steers every later choice, from the name to the floor areas.

  3. Programming of uses

    Choice of uses, floor areas, locations and synergies between operators. Each use must feed the footfall of the others.

  4. Operator sourcing and negotiation

    Our network of more than 500 partners is mobilised. We negotiate with the selected operators until the LOIs are signed.

  5. Business models and tender file

    Business models for each use, attendance at project team meetings and support on responses to tenders and calls for projects.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions

What is mixed-use real estate programming?

It is the choice of the uses that will bring a real estate project to life, of their floor areas and of their location. Instead of a single use (offices, housing or retail), the programme combines several activities that attract different audiences and strengthen one another.

When should you call on STAKRN Innovation?

As early as possible: before a tender, a planning application or a land acquisition. We also step in during the project, when spaces remain to be let or a use needs to be replaced.

What size of project do you support?

Our projects range from 10,000 to 40,000 m². For a smaller scheme, a targeted assignment (opportunity study, sourcing of one operator) may be enough.

Do you work with local authorities?

Yes. We support local authorities on responses to tenders and calls for projects, on building consortiums and with insight into the cultural and creative industries, gaming and esports.

Do you work outside France?

Yes. We have designed more than ten ecosystems in Europe and Asia.
