Maximize Your Property with a Custom Mixed-Use ADU
At Atlas Builders, we specialize in constructing mixed-use Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) that combine commercial space with high-end residential living. Our innovative designs seamlessly integrate a retail shop on the first floor with a luxury apartment on the second floor, creating an efficient and profitable use of your property.

Why Build a Mixed-Use ADU?

Dual Functionality for Increased Income
A mixed-use ADU offers the best of both worlds by combining commercial and residential spaces in one structure. You can use the retail space for your own business or rent it out to a local shop, while the upstairs apartment can serve as a luxury living space or generate rental income.

Maximize Your Property’s Potential
In urban areas, space is a premium. A mixed-use ADU allows you to fully utilize your property by combining residential and commercial purposes in one footprint. It’s a smart, space-saving solution that boosts your property’s value and income potential.

Tailored to Your Needs
We offer custom design and construction services to meet your specific vision. Whether you’re looking to open a small café, boutique, or office space on the first floor while living in the upscale apartment above, or you want to lease both spaces for passive income, we’ll build an ADU that aligns with your goals.

Our Mixed-Use ADU Construction Process

Consultation and Planning
During the initial consultation, we’ll discuss your goals for the mixed-use ADU, including the type of business you want to operate or lease, your design preferences for the residential space, and your budget. Our team will walk you through zoning regulations and ensure your project complies with local building codes.

Custom Design
Our architects will design a space that blends the functionality of commercial space with the sophistication of a luxury apartment. The retail space will be designed to attract customers while the upstairs apartment will include premium finishes, modern amenities, and open floor plans for a high-end living experience.

Permitting and Approvals
We manage the permitting process, working with local authorities to secure the necessary approvals for both the commercial and residential aspects of your mixed-use ADU.

Construction and Project Management
Atlas Builders’ experienced construction team will bring your project to life. We ensure high-quality craftsmanship and use only premium materials to build a durable, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing structure. Our project managers keep you informed at every stage, ensuring your ADU is built on time and on budget.

Final Inspection and Completion
After construction is completed, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure everything meets building codes and quality standards. Once approved, your mixed-use ADU will be ready for occupancy or business use.

Features of a Mixed-Use ADU

First-Floor Retail Space
The first floor is designed to accommodate a variety of retail businesses, including:

• Boutique shops
• Cafés or small restaurants
• Art galleries
• Offices or coworking spaces

We’ll work with you to design a space that attracts customers and enhances the neighborhood. Features may include large display windows, custom lighting, ADA compliance, and signage options.

Second-Floor Luxury Apartment
Above the retail space, you’ll find a modern, luxury one-bedroom apartment with high-end finishes. Our apartment designs prioritize comfort, style, and functionality, offering features such as:

• Open-concept layouts
• Gourmet kitchen with premium appliances
• Designer fixtures and finishes
• Spacious bedroom with walk-in closet
• Private balcony or rooftop access (if space allows)
• Energy-efficient systems and smart home technology

Benefits of a Mixed-Use ADU

Boost Property Value
A mixed-use ADU significantly increases your property’s value by adding both commercial and residential income streams. Whether you rent out the retail space, the apartment, or both, you’ll see a solid return on investment.

Generate Dual Income Streams
By having both a retail space and a luxury apartment in one structure, you can generate income from two different tenants, maximizing the earning potential of your property.

Flexibility for Personal or Business Use
If you’re an entrepreneur, a mixed-use ADU allows you to operate your business on the first floor while living comfortably upstairs. Alternatively, you can lease both spaces to diversify your rental income.

Urban-Friendly Design
Mixed-use ADUs are ideal for urban areas where space is limited but demand for both retail and housing is high. They contribute to vibrant, walkable communities by blending commercial and residential spaces.

Our Commitment to Quality and Sustainability

At Atlas Builders, we prioritize quality and sustainability in every project. We use eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient systems to ensure your mixed-use ADU is not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible. Our team stays up-to-date with the latest trends in green building and smart technology, allowing us to incorporate features like solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, and sustainable landscaping.
