Mixed-Use Property Insurance
Mixed-use property insurance is for buildings that combine commercial and residential occupancies — street-level retail or office with apartments above, and similar stacks in Windsor-Essex and across Ontario. It is a commercial multi-occupancy property discussion, not personal landlord insurance for a rented dwelling. Occupancy disclosure, cooking exposures, and shared systems drive underwriting. Available terms vary; coverage is not guaranteed from every insurer.
For Windsor–Essex and Ontario owners of mixed-use buildings (commercial + residential in one structure) seeking a commercial property program — not personal rented-dwelling landlords. Pure commercial-tenant buildings may fit Commercial Landlord; pure multi-residential may fit Apartment Building.
What's covered
Coverages commonly reviewed when one commercial property program must contemplate multiple occupancy types in the same building.
Occupancy schedules must match how the building actually operates: Retail cooking, cannabis retail, offices, and residential units change rate and eligibility. Undisclosed restaurant or hazardous tenants create claim and underwriting problems. Keep schedules current.
