True. I'd taken commercial as meaning offices, but I guess it could be retail.

Converting office space is a trend in London right now though.

Could also be restaurants. I lived in a mixed use building above a few restaurants once. I wouldn't recommend it. The restaurants would semi-regularly set off the fire alarm for the entire building, including in the middle of the night.

Nothing quite like trying to rush to wrangle a dog and a rabbit and put on some clothes at 3:00 in the morning. Fortunately, the rabbit was deaf, so he was the easiest part of the process.
