Oregon East: City, developer targeting redevelopment near Oregon District

 

City of Dayton and a Lousiville developer hope the redevelopment of two buildings near the Oregon District will spur an expansion of the corridor near downtown.

 

City commission highlighted the possibilities of "Oregon East," which it hopes to be an eastward expansion of Oregon District, where it has been working with Louisville-based City Properties Group, as well as local employers Shumsky Enterprises and Gosiger Inc. In all, the hope is the projects pave the way for more than $30 million in investment there in coming years.

When hunting for historical reuse projects, the developer behind "Wheelhouse" said the company looks for a building with "good bones."

 

The philosophy showed at Wheelhouse, a new residential and retail project in the Oregon District, which prominently features the original bones of the 150-year-old building in its design.

A new gallery of interior photos of the new Wheelhouse development that were taken Saturday during the downtown housing tour. I toured it and they had three units open. From the exterior appearance of the building I was skeptical they were really on such a quick pace, but it's definitely coming along inside.

Oregon District shows no signs of slowing down

While the Oregon District may be Dayton's oldest neighborhood, the historic entertainment, retail and residential hub shows no signs of slowing down.

 

Although vacancy in the district is extremely low, officials from the Oregon District Business Association said the neighborhood continues to see growth and changes, particularly around Wayne Avenue.

 

The newest additions to the district include the Wheelhouse Lofts and a second location of Speakeasy Yoga, which opened last month. Both newcomers are in the historic Weustoff & Getz Co. building, at 210 Wayne. A new restaurant, the Troll Pub, is expected to open in the Weustoff this spring.

Developer receives tax credits for $18M rehab project, Dayton tech company to expand

 

r72-00611-0061-02jpeghtml*750xx4272-2403-0-72.jpg

 

A robotics and technology company will have new office space in downtown Dayton thanks to a historic tax credit approved Wednesday.

 

Gosiger Industries, currently located at 108 McDonough St., is planning to expand into the Dayton Motor Car Building after its development partner received $1.8 million from the Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credit Program. The $18.2 million project would allow the company to occupy new office space in the six-story, 80,000 square-foot building at 15 McDonough St.

 

Louisville-based real estate development firm Weyland Ventures will rehabilitate and restore the iconic building from its heyday of Dayton's auto manufacturing era. The concrete industrial building features expansive windows and open floor plates, and has long been underutilized. The building sits close to East Third Street, on the edge of the Oregon District, and is also part of the Dayton Motor Car Company Historic District.

The Windsor Companies, the Columbus developer behind the Fire Blocks project in downtown Dayton, appears to have purchased another building.

motor-car-15-mcdonough-exterior*750xx384

 

The city of Dayton is considering a tax incentive for a downtown redevelopment project.

 

Dayton City Commission will hold two readings Wednesday for a tax increment financing (TIF) program that would be used for the Dayton Motor Car building. The 79,000-square foot facility, located at 15 McDonough St. in downtown Dayton, is eyed for an $18.2 million redevelopment project that would transform the building into an office, light industrial and technology complex.

 

The Motor Car facility is part of a 25-acre, mixed-use redevelopment project called Oregon East, which includes new construction and adaptive re-use of existing buildings for residential or commercial uses. It is also part of an expansion of the corporate campus for Gosiger Commercial Group Inc. and its affiliates, which will facilitate job creation and retention at the site.

Mendenhall family early investors in Oregon District

 

mendenhalls-ltor-lisa-bob-emily-nate-pho

 

Bob Mendenhall “moved more often than the military” during his 30 years in management for the Social Security Administration, so he gave his wife Lisa Mendenhall the final choice over where they would retire.

 

As a progressive hereditary condition continued to diminish Bob’s eyesight, Lisa picked Dayton’s Oregon District for its walkability and close-knit feel.

 

“If I couldn't get around to see people, what better thing could I do then to open a bar where people could come and see me?” Bob said.

 

That’s how Blind Bob’s Tavern came to open at 430 E. Fifth St. in August 2008, just as the Great Recession was poised to decimate America’s economy. Bob had tended bar in college and put on folk and blues coffeehouse shows, so that left a soft spot in their hearts for Dayton’s music scene.

Multi-phase project will expand Oregon District with 730,000 square feet of new development

 

motor-car-15-mcdonough-exterior*750xx384

 

Though it's not based in the Dayton region or even the state of Ohio, Weyland Ventures has been one of the most active developers in the Oregon District.

 

The Louisville, Kentucky-based real estate development firm has been involved in this area near downtown Dayton since the early 1980s. It started with their work with Gosiger, a machine shop that still makes its home near the Oregon District.

 

Weyland continues to work with Gosiger today, and the company will be an anchor tenant in one of the developer's latest projects — the Dayton Motor Car building. Gosiger will occupy multiple floors in the 79,000-square foot facility, which is located at 15 McDonough St. Miller-Valentine Group has been hired as the general contractor for the project.

...

Along with Dayton Motor Car, the initial phase of Oregon East will include a new apartment complex. The new apartment building, called "The 503," is expected to break ground in the first half of 2020.

 

Additional phases will include a 110-room hotel and an entertainment/co-working venue that will be developed at the former St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church on Wayne Avenue. Weyland will also construct a new mixed-use building along Wayne Avenue, which is expected to feature a retail-restaurant component on the first floor, with a mix of office and residential space on upper floors.

It honestly looks like an Embassy Suites you'd find on a beltway exit in Dallas. 

“To an Ohio resident - wherever he lives - some other part of his state seems unreal.”

Saw this today, honestly it looks like a fire hazard more than anything to me.

The wonders of stick construction I guess, but damn... I would not want to be on the 12th story of that thing with a fire raging beneath.

 

A new 12-story residential tower downtown would be awesome, though, but more traditional masonry construction seems like a better, safer idea.

And this thing is probably not going to age well...

Modern fire suppression systems should make this an unlikely event. That said, I have heard of several cases of these type of buildings turning into massive infernos while still under construction. Also, what happens when the fire systems do not get proper maintenance, which is very likely to happen given the cyclical nature of American real estate markets.

Dayton entrepreneur to launch Gem City Selfie Museum

 

When 31-year-old entrepreneur NaAsiaha Simon relocated to Dayton several years ago, she fell in love with the city’s heart. During these last four years, she beat back a brain tumor and overcame personal wellness struggles. Simon, CEO of Dayton-based NaAsiaha Simon & Associates, a public relations and planning firm, now endeavors a new project. 

 

Simon said her own mental health struggle triggered the idea: creating the Gem City Selfie Museum. Together, working with a collective of like-minded young professionals, Simon’s big idea is about to come true. 

 

“I want to provide a space for people to have positive, life-changing experiences and a space to heal using photography,” Simon said.

...

The project brings another entertainment and destination option to Dayton and the bustling Oregon District. It will be the first of its kind in the Miami Valley, though other similar ventures exist in larger U.S. cities.

 

The Gem City Selfie Museum, which will be open four days a week, will feature up to 20 employees.

A "selfie museum" is essentially an art gallery or facility that creates a setting for visitors to pose in photographs for posting on social media sites.

Woodard Development buys additional Oregon District buildings

 

A well-known Dayton commercial developer is continuing a streak of buying up local property. Another set of buildings in the busy Oregon District business district and neighborhood is under new ownership.

 

Jason Woodard of Woodard Development has purchased 337 and 343 E. 5th St., according to records. This is adjacent to the popular restaurant Lily's Bistro.

 

The $228,000 building sale closed in March, according to public records. One of Woodard's limited liability companies purchased the buildings from the family of Miriam Maue.

 

The two-story buildings were both built in the early 1900s.

Historic church could soon see $22M hotel, restaurant & event spaces

 

A historic church in the Oregon District could soon see a $22 million project, bringing a hotel, restaurant and event spaces to the property. The developer says the effort would strengthen the local economy and "help encourage commercial investment in the surrounding area."

 

Louisville-based real estate and development firm Weyland Ventures LLC is planning an adaptive reuse project at the former St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church & Parish Hall, located at 239 Wayne Ave. The company seeks $2 million in Ohio Ohio Historic Preservation Tax Credits to support the redevelopment.

 

The "St. Paul Hotel" project would encompass three different parts, according to its tax credit application: the church, Parish Hall and a new 18,600-square-foot building — adding to the existing 33,500 square feet.

 

The church, dating to the mid-1800s, is an "open volume," two-story sanctuary with a balcony and crawl space that would house a restaurant, which could also be used as event space, after the conversion. The application also notes that the "main volume of the sanctuary will be retained," "historic stained glass windows will remain" and "historic finishes will be maintained whenever possible."

 

As for the three-story Parish Hall, built in 1955, Weyland is planning to put hotel rooms on the lower level and first floor. The upper level would house event spaces.

 

Weyland also plans to build a three-story building in the parking lot next to the church, housing nearly 50 hotel rooms. The new structure — at the location of a former school building that was demolished in the 1950s — would be "contemporary in its design" to "clearly distinguish it as non-historic."

^And it just got tax credits!

 

St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church & Parish Hall

 

Total Project Cost: $22,009,613

Total Tax Credit: $2,000,000

Address: 239 Wayne Ave., Dayton, OH 45402

 

The St. Paul ELC was constructed circa 1869 in Dayton's Oregon District. The adjacent Parish Hall was added in 1955. The church continued to serve as a home for its congregation until it was vacated in 2017. The church sanctuary will be renovated into a restaurant and event space, while parts of the parish hall will become a gallery and event space. Former classrooms and offices will become 26 hotel guest rooms. A new construction component of the project will occupy what is now an adjacent parking lot and will hold 46 additional guest rooms.

A Kentucky-based developer that has completed numerous large projects in the downtown region has submitted plans for its next venture which would see the construction of new outdoor amenities for residents to enjoy.

 

The city of Dayton may soon provide $650,000 to Oregon Landing Zone LLC — which is associated with Louisville-based Weyland Ventures — for the construction of a new park and outdoor amenities near downtown.

 

Weyland Ventures has/is investing $120 million in a variety of projects collectively referred to as "Oregon East." Oregon East is an extension of the Oregon District — a collection of bars, restaurants and shops along Fifth Street in downtown Dayton.

 

According to city documents, the Department of Planning, Neighborhoods & Development is requesting approval to enter into a Tax Increment Financing Development Agreement with Oregon Landing Zone LLC to complete infrastructure improvements in the Oregon East geography.

The Oregon District is having a moment.

Long considered the heart of the city’s independent restaurant scene, the Oregon District has recently experienced some seismic shake ups with several established restaurants closing and ownership changes across a number of well-known beloved dining establishments, and yet, the Oregon District is proving what so many great food cities already know: reinvention can be delicious.

This next chapter is being defined, in part, by several of Dayton’s most respected chefs, who are expanding their repertoires and building on the flavors that made them local favorites.
