Mixed-use buildings

Mixed-use building insurance for residential and commercial occupancy

A coordinated view of residents, commercial tenants, building systems, values, income, and liability.

A mixed-use building combines exposures that underwriters do not evaluate in isolation. The tenant mix, hours, cooking, deliveries, public access, protection, and residential occupancy all need to be described together.

A fit to explore for

  • Retail with apartments above
  • Office and residential buildings
  • Mixed-use portfolios
  • Buildings with restaurants or cooking tenants
  • Owner-occupied commercial/residential properties

Common considerations

  • Commercial-tenant operations
  • Cooking, suppression, and exhaust systems
  • Residential unit count and occupancy
  • Shared entrances and common areas
  • Business income or rental value
  • Property, liability, umbrella, and equipment breakdown

Questions

A clearer place to begin.

Start with the practical details that shape the application and review.

Why does tenant type matter?

Different commercial uses can change fire, liability, foot-traffic, delivery, and hours-of-operation exposures.

Is a mixed-use building a personal or commercial risk?

It generally requires commercial review, but the appropriate structure depends on ownership, occupancy, and carrier eligibility.

Does a tenant's policy protect the building owner?

A tenant policy does not replace the owner's program. Contractual insurance and additional-insured requests must be evaluated against actual policies and endorsements.
