Ditch the Bland, Embrace the Blend with Resimercial Design
Picture work, residential and retail spaces that breathe with life and ingenuity! A trend taking Atlanta’s work-live-place locations by storm, resimercial projects are transforming typically lifeless design into havens in the heart of the city.
At terra alma, we understand the importance of cultivating vibrant communities that are more than places to visit.
What Does Resimercial Mean?
Resimercial perfectly merges commercial and residential places, allowing traditionally cold workspaces to feature the comfort of home. Imagine plush couches instead of plastic chairs and soft lighting to mimic evening light and abundant natural light. This approach allows workers and business owners to feel more relaxed in the inviting environment and boosts employee productivity and well-being!
Cultivate Communities, Not Just Buildings
When planning and developing a multi-family or master-planned project, it is essential to incorporate live, work and play elements to cultivate the perfect place to call home. Going beyond office walls, resimercial allows residents to feel at home while exploring their immediate community. This philosophy hinges on integrating retail and restaurant spaces directly into residential developments.

The Allure of Bringing Home to Your Community
Why take the resimercial route? There are numerous advantages to incorporating retail into residential areas:
Convenience: Residents can ditch the car and enjoy the ease of walking to essential services such as grocery stores and pharmacies, saving time and reducing their carbon footprint.
Strong Community Bonds: Cafes, shops, wine bars and restaurants are social hubs that foster a sense of community and encourage residents to find a place of belonging. This is a vital aspect of bustling urban areas!
Economy Boom: In the community’s economy, retail establishments act as economic engines, creating jobs, generating tax revenue and increasing property values. While local businesses love the flow of consumers and residential traffic, the community becomes an attractive option for companies and potential tenants.
Safety in Numbers: Resimercial areas are also wildly attractive thanks to ample lighting and consistent pedestrian traffic. This commonly deters crime due to increased natural surveillance.
