Anyone know why they demolished the old National City Bank in Fairborn (Across from the Nutter Center) for?

 

Looks like a Texas Roadhouse.

Nothing exciting.  I find it hard to believe that the mall is 96% leased when so much of The Village sits empty.  Is that considered seperate from the mall?  Or maybe I'm thinking the village part is larger than it really is?

 

New stores to open at Dayton Mall

By Chelsey Levingston

Staff Writer

Friday, August 08, 2008

 

Dayton Mall is expanding with the opening of several new stores this fall and the leasing out of other spaces.  The new stores, said Michael Minns, general manager, are:

 

• MW Tux, a line of Men's Warehouse, opening in two weeks

• Go Home, a furniture store, opening in September

• Gyro Palace, a Greek restaurant, opening in September

• Footaction, an athletic footwear retail store, opening in about 60 days and

• Famous Footwear, which recently has signed a lease

 

Dayton Mall has continued to grow the last several years and is currently 96 percent leased, said Minns.  Footaction will occupy what used to be Champs Sports, which relocated in the mall and MW Tux replaces Skeffington's Formalwear, which Minns said left a few months ago.  Go Home is relocating from a Centerville location.  That, and the other stores, are new additions.  In 2007, Dayton Mall finished 97,000 square feet of outdoor, open air retail space.

Shopping center gets a new tenant

South Towne Centre in Miami Twp. to be home of Christmas Tree Shops' first Ohio store, officials say.

By Tim Tresslar

Staff Writer

Thursday, September 11, 2008

 

Centro Properties Group says it has spent $15 million redeveloping its South Towne Centre shopping plaza, slated to gain a new tenant in the coming months.  The plaza's latest tenant, Christmas Tree Shops, will open its first Ohio store at the Miami Twp. strip shopping center, executives for Centro Properties said.

 

Christmas Tree Shops will take up 32,000 square feet of space in the former Kmart store.  Though the company has not announced a specific date, plans call for the store to open during the fourth quarter, said Rene Beretsky, a spokeswoman for the retailer.

 

According to Centro Properties officials, upgrades include façade improvements, new asphalt for the parking lots and improved lighting for the parking lots and sidewalks.  Skeffington's Formal Wear also is slated to open a store this month, and plans call for Fifth Third Bank to open a new office at the shopping center later this year.  Other tenants include Health Foods Unlimited, PetSmart, Value City Furniture and Half Price Books.

First off, I'm new to the site  :wave: but I read it frequently and it is awesome! You guys actually have reasonable views about urbanism and economic development and planning. Yeah! Anyways, if they actually go through with this, I think it will be a great asset for the Dayton region. This proposal might also give us some needed office space/ large department stores in the Nroth Dayton region. Thoughts?

 

Sorry, couldn't get the image over here. Don't know why. Anyways, here's the link

 

http://www.ci.vandalia.oh.us/uploads/Business/Vandalia_Access_Rd_Dev.pdf

Well, I'm sure Vandalia would be happy about that but how would they get there?  Peters Pike?

Sorry, couldn't get the image over here. Don't know why.

 

No worries...here it is in the flesh:

 

Ahh good ol' V-town. My home sweet home. You can almost see my house on the bottom of the picture there.

 

What is interesting about this development is that it encompasses an area that I have always thought was underdeveloped (right next to the airport, on a highway exit, right next to the city). This plan seems ok (could be much worse, after all I think I see roundabouts in there..haha) I imagine Peters Pike will have to be widened along with Stonequarry rd. should this development take place. They have already put water access to the site they tore down the old Hertlein Farm house to put in the pipes). A couple of questions.

 

-Does the city really have money to do the infrastructure improvements?

-Why would this development work if the Northwoods development isn't even 10% complete? I'm wondering where the demand would come from.

- Is there a developer that will take on a project like this, or are these all separate little projects?

 

Maybe someone will have these answers....probably not though

 

 

 

Carnegie Library rehabilitation earns preservation award

Dayton Daily News, November 04, 2008

 

DAYTON — The city's Southeast Priority Board and Matrix Architects have each earned a Preservation Merit Award from the Ohio Historic Society for the interior rehabilitation of the nearly 100-year-old Carnegie Library, 2160 E. Fifth St.

 

The building, which houses the priority board offices and community meeting space, was the original East Branch of the Dayton Public Library, dedicated in 1914 and built with funding provided by Andrew Carnegie.

 

The awards were presented on Saturday, Nov. 1.

Medical campus slated for Beavercreek

 

Kettering Health Network and Greene Memorial Hospital plan to build a 35-acre medical campus in Beavercreek that could include a freestanding emergency center and research and education operations, officials said Nov. 7.

 

The proposed development — expected to cost between $75 million and $100 million — will be built over five years and also will include other organizations, said Frank Perez, chief executive of Kettering Health Network. The campus would employ between 150 and 200 when it's completely developed, Perez said.

Beavercreek gives approval to new Kroger Marketplace

 

Kroger will build its newest Marketplace, a super-sized grocery and speciality store, on the site of an existing Kroger store in the heart of this Greene County city.  City Council members voted 5-2 on Monday, Nov. 10, to approve a major modification to an existing planned unit development at Dayton-Xenia and North Fairfield roads, where a Kroger store and strip mall has stood since the 1980s.

 

The vote came after council members on Oct. 27 tabled plans for the 128,958 square-foot store because of problems with the facade, traffic flow and the size of parking spaces.  Council members worked out most of those problems in a Nov. 3 work session with Kroger representatives.

 

The new store, which will feature a coffee shop, gas station, small appliances, and an expanded deli section, will replace the existing Kroger, the attached strip mall and two restaurants.  The project is to break ground in summer 2009 and is tentatively to be completed in spring 2010.  The existing store would remain open during construction.

It's about time someone stepped in to revitalize that shopping center.  It was starting to look like a real dump and had many vacant store spaces.  Looks like Kroger will beat Wal-Mart to the punch since the latter is still in court with the Lofino's.  Personally, I see Lofino's out of business or bought by someone else within three to five years of these expansions.

^ Granted, I don't make it home so often anymore, but is that shopping center really in a bad state?  I remember it as mostly fine, apart from the vacant movie theater.  The shopping center with Lofino's on the other side of 35, however, is another story.

Actually, the Lofino's shopping center was renovated about a year ago.  Still, it sits mostly empty or occupied by service rather than retail stores.  One bright spot there was the opening of the Beavercreek Beef O'Brady's.

 

As for the Kroger shopping center, all that is left is an LA Tan, Dollar Genreal, a Blockbuster, Great Clips, and a UPS Store.  The Radio Shack, fitness center, jewelery store, travel agency, and Hallmark all closed.  That and the roof/awning is losing shingles and it just looks worn down.  Almost like Spicer Heights a few years ago (that shopping center seems to have come back as a service center).

 

If you don't mind my asking, where are you now?  I just recently moved to OSU but still go home over breaks.

Though they did just widen that section of Pentagon Blvd (New Germany Trebein) to five lanes so the traffic there is a little better.

Impressive.  A new edge city blossoms in Greene County!

Interesting. I didn't know some of those businesses were gone.  I did know the Lofino's shopping center was renovated, but I still just think of how empty it is.

 

I'm in Boston now, after three years in Wisconsin. Before that was school at Ohio Wesleyan in Delaware, which was the last time I was in Beavercreek ("home") with much frequency.  Be there soon for Thanksgiving, though!

So cool!

 

Roof of City Hall may be covered in grass

By Joanne Huist Smith, Dayton Daily News, January 07, 2009

 

DAYTON — The City Hall roof could be teeming with greenery by this summer, but the vegetation won't be a recreational zone for weary city employees.  The city is exploring installation of a GreenGrid® modular green roof system on a 2,000 square-foot section of the City Hall roof.  The effort is a combination public education demonstration program and a storm water pollution reduction project, said Donna Winchester, environment manager for Dayton's Department of Water.

 

A green roof is substantially covered with low-growing shrubbery.  Because it is modular, a GreenGrid® roof can be adjusted and rearranged after installation.  Modules can be moved for roof maintenance, according to the GreenGrid® Web site.  The plants on green roofs transpire, cooling the atmosphere around them.  These factors have the potential, in large scale, to lower city temperatures.

 

Winchester said the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency requires education projects as part of the city's storm water discharge permit.  Funding will come from the city's Water Department, storm-water development fund, not general fund tax dollars.  The green roof, approved by the Dayton City Commission on Dec. 23, will cost $33,578. 

UU to close buildings, cut spending

By Kelly Mori, Springfield News and Sun, January 08, 2009

 

URBANA, Ohio — Urbana University will close three energy inefficient buildings, trim compensation and reduce overall spending in a move designed to "bridge the gap" between today's financial struggles and the time when the university recaptures its enrollment numbers and reduces some debt, President Stephen Jones said.  The university hopes to cut $350,000 to $400,000 from its budget by August, Jones said.

 

Urbana is offering employees several options for taking a proposed 6 to 10 percent reduction in compensation — from uncompensated vacation time to reduction in employer retirement plan match to deferring salary for future redistribution.

 

An energy audit conducted last fall suggested the university consider closing the three older, inefficient buildings — Dorothea Harvey Chapel, and Memmott and Eaton halls.  The financial situation moved the university to address the issue this year.  Offices and services in the older nonacademic buildings will be moved to a residence hall, whose students will be relocated to the university's new residence halls.

Cool stuff...taking a page out of Chicago's book.

Stonequarry Crossings signs first project

(from a Vandalia city bulletin newsletter)

 

A Vandalia company with plans to expand operations

will become the first to build in Stonequarry Crossings. Manufactured Assemblies Corporation (MAC) has announced plans to build a 40,000 square foot office/manufacturing facility on a four-acre site at Stonequarry Crossings. Established in 1976, MAC manufactures electronic

and mechanical assemblies, such as cable assemblies

and wire harnesses. The company is currently located on Webster Street in Vandalia. Stonequarry Crossings is a 200-acre mixed use development on Vandalia’s west end. It is situated between Peters Pike, Airport Access Road, National Road and Stonequarry Road. The land was purchased

by the City of Vandalia in 2005. Vandalia Assistant City Manager Rob Anderson said the decision by MAC to build in Stonequarry Crossings is welcome news for many reasons. “First and foremost, we’re always very happy when a Vandalia company chooses to stay and grow in Vandalia,” he said. “MAC looked at sites all over the Miami Valley, but ultimately decided that the best place for their business is where it’s been all along.” Anderson said the announcement is also good news in that it gives development efforts at Stonequarry Crossings some momentum. “We knew all along that this would be an exceptional

opportunity for a company like MAC,” he said. “When you consider the proximity to the airport and the interstate, the availability of all utilities, and the fact that this is a greenfield site, it’s an option that’s difficult to pass on.” The building will be constructed using brick and stone. Other projects at Stonequarry Crossings will use similar materials. Plans call for construction to begin before the end of the year with completion scheduled for early 2009. An artist’s rendering of Stonequarry Crossings’ “first resident.” Construction is to begin by year’s end with a 2009 completion date.

 

 

Also

UCplanner- I agree this isn't the the best concept, since I would say that industrial should be strictly off limits and they should have a heavier focus on large office and destination retail (Northside Dayton doesn't really have any). Also, they should have looked into annexing up to Dog Leg road to the west from Butler Twp. so this development could at least pretend to be cohesive. This is going to be developed by Vandalia itself, I believe, and Northwoods is strictly an industrial park, so kind of a moronic idea considering that Dayton probably has one of the highest industrial vacancy rates anywhere. Still, this could be a potentially major development, and this is probably the most marketable piece of land in the Dayton met. right now.

a little new info. also, Rumor has it that the Hertlein Farm which sits at the back of the property is not selling anymore. It was the last piece of land that the city did not own on that side of the highway. This could put a kink in the development plan. It also sounds like this "plan" is not really what they are following, they are instead just putting in whatever comes to them. There are talks of a MAJOR distribution hub going in here for a very large corporation.

 

Also the new middle school is going to be built in the south-east corner of the property.

 

Just some updates.

City to buy six properties at Wayne and Wyoming

By Joanne Huist Smith, Dayton Daily News, February 25, 2009

 

DAYTON — The city of Dayton is seeking, for a second time, options-to-buy properties in 12 acres off Wayne Avenue and Wyoming Street for redevelopment.  Selling prices were negotiated on the properties last year and the city secured options-to-buy most of the 89 parcels at that time.  Those options expired in December, said Shelley Dickstein, assistant city manager for strategic development.

 

The city's hard-fought effort to clear a path for a $16 million Kroger supermarket in that neighborhood ended in December, when the Cincinnati-based grocery chain backed away from the project for financial reasons.  Dickstein said the city hopes to assemble the site for a grocery store, but a developer — possibly with a different use in mind — must be found first.  The city issued a request for development proposals for the site on Feb. 18.  The deadline to submit a proposal is April 1.

 

Tentative boundaries for the urban renewal project are: Pierce Street to the north, Wyoming Street to the south, Hawker Street to the east and Wayne Avenue to the west.  The city currently has control of about 20 percent of the parcels there.

Country Club of the North owners want to take club ‘to another level’

 

David McDonald’s fascination with golf can be traced to his senior year at a Catholic high school in Denver.  “My first class of the day was speech,” he said.  “I didn’t have to speak every day, and I remember drawing golf holes in class.”

 

Since graduating from the University of Oklahoma, McDonald has worked in a successful family automobile business.  He and his brothers operate five dealerships in Littleton, Colo., a Denver suburb.  Eighteen years ago he also got into the golf business.

Huber development back on track

625-acre residential lot called Carriage Trails

Dayton Business Journal - by Tom Demeropolis, DBJ Staff Reporter

Friday, August 14, 2009

 

After years of delays, switching owners and plan revisions, a 625-acre housing development in Huber Heights is breaking ground this year on its first homes.  The development, now called Carriage Trails, has been in the planning stages for more than eight years, but at least one home builder will start work on its first model home in the development in the next 30 days.

 

Ken Conaway, vice president of Dublin-based DEC Investment Group Inc., the new developers of the project, expects six homes to be built before the end of the year.  Phase I of the project includes 37 lots, all approved for building.  But Conaway doesn’t expect construction to ramp up until 2010.

 

Carriage Trails has space for 1,650 housing units, a mix of single family homes and multi-family units.  The land sits about a mile north of Interstate 70 and between state Routes 201 and 202.  Multi-family units are planned for the east end of Carriage Trails, while the single family homes will be on the west side.

Korea businesses troll Ohio for investments

by Associated Press

Wednesday August 26, 2009, 10:54 AM

 

DAYTON, Ohio — South Korean companies that make everything from tents to food preparation equipment to paving technology spent three days exploring investment opportunities in an Ohio region hard hit by layoffs in the auto and transportation industries.

 

Last week's visit to Troy in southwest Ohio came as South Korean businesses are increasing their presence in the United States, with direct investment growing from $1.4 billion in 2003 to $13.1 billion in 2007.

 

Several were interested in cashing in on a growth spurt at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton by winning contracts for military-related products such as toothbrush kits, heavy duty tents and camouflage structures.

Beavercreek hospital to be named for Soin family

By Ben Sutherly, Staff Writer

Updated 9:52 PM Tuesday, May 4, 2010

 

BEAVERCREEK — Kettering Health Network has named its hospital here in honor of Indu and Raj Soin after the longtime philanthropists gave the largest single gift in KHN history.

 

The hospital’s renaming was announced Tuesday, May 4, at the hospital site as workers operated construction equipment nearby.

 

Raj Soin declined to disclose the size of the gift, which will go toward hospital construction.

 

Frank Perez, KHN’s chief executive officer, said only that the gift was eight figures, or at least $10 million. He said the largest gift the network had previously received was $8 million from Oscar Boonshoft.
