  1. @Justin R. Condominiums, Institutional, varieties of mixed-use ... you might find it tricky to create a definitive list.


    1. @Roy N - Sure, by no means is this a definitive list. There are countless opportunities and of course the ability to change the use of a specific property or invest in mixed used properties.
