March 28, 201411 yr More housing at $34M downtown Dayton project The plan for the Water Street development in downtown Dayton is now calling for more housing than originally projected. Columbus-based Crawford Hoying, which is co-developing the $33.5 million, five-acre mixed-use site northeast of the city’s core, says the plan for the development now calls for 191 apartment units, up from 150 in its initial inception. Among those will be 16 studio units, 108 one-bedroom units, 61 two-bedroom units, and six two-bedroom townhomes, arrayed across two four-story residential buildings. Dayton-based Woodard Real Estate Resources is the other co-developer.

March 28, 201411 yr This is a miniature version of The Banks in Cincinnati, and I think it will ultimately be a really good draw for residents and for small retail in downtown. Too bad the southern part of downtown is neglected.
March 28, 201411 yr ^ One step at a time.... Right now though, the Student Suites project for Sinclair at Fourth and Ludlow is in southern downtown. As will the Centre City residential conversion if/when it happens. Overall, progress is still slow compared to the 3C's, but it is light years faster than it even was in 2010. And at least it feels like there is hope now (no more years like 2006-2008 please).... But yeah, southern downtown could use a push. I'm hoping Sinclair does go through with their plans to open up their campus more and foster a district around Fourth and Ludlow, that alone will do wonders
March 28, 201411 yr I love to see urban Dayton getting some big projects! So much of the development you hear in the Dayton region is way far out in the burbs...so much so that it feels like Downtown Dayton is kind of losing its relevancy. Daytonians...would you agree with this? When you look at a map of the urbanized area of Dayton, it's a much larger area than the population would reflect, imo. It has sprawl that rivals Cincinnati's despite having less than half of the metro population. The success of the UD area, Downtown Dayton, and the Oregon District (anything new popping off there?) are really encouraging signs that the reurbanization movement is alive and well in Dayton!
March 29, 201411 yr Downtown Dayton lost its relevancy back in 2000 when it lost so many corporations to other states and/or the suburbs. But...it is now focusing on new housing, retail, grocery store, bikeshare, etc to attract people back in the core, and thus, jobs would come to where people want to be. The core neighborhoods around downtown have always been fine; it's downtown's turn.

April 1, 201411 yr I love to see urban Dayton getting some big projects! So much of the development you hear in the Dayton region is way far out in the burbs...so much so that it feels like Downtown Dayton is kind of losing its relevancy. Daytonians...would you agree with this? When you look at a map of the urbanized area of Dayton, it's a much larger area than the population would reflect, imo. It has sprawl that rivals Cincinnati's despite having less than half of the metro population. The success of the UD area, Downtown Dayton, and the Oregon District (anything new popping off there?) are really encouraging signs that the reurbanization movement is alive and well in Dayton! In my opinion, you are correct on every point. Although I would argue downtown Dayton in general has lost its relevancy, and is currently making a lot of decent strides to get it back. I'd say Dayton is a lot more suburbanized for a variety of reasons 1. Flat topography - makes building farther and farther out a cheap and easy option 2. Heritage - we are an auto-centric town filled with a lot of machinists, military people, and engineers. Common thread? Love of machines and driving 3. Composition - if you take a count of Dayton's suburbs, over 2/3 of them have a historic small-town core. So people very easily identify with the town connected to their home address (like Miamisburg, Tipp City, or Bellbrook) rather than Dayton as a whole. The Dayton metro is around a solid 1 million people, assuming we are allowed to have Springboro/Franklin/Carlisle/Middletown (normally those are grouped into the Cincy CSA, but that's not a fun conversation). So to those that look at the population within city limits (around 140,000) and use that as their benchmark to judge the metro size, they will be surprised to find Dayton itself is only about 14% of the metro population. The flipside of this is large swaths of the city (like a lot of areas in the west side) are highly underutilized.
May 13, 201411 yr Downtown Dayton’s Water Street adds more apartment units, groundbreaking set Developers of the Water Street district in downtown Dayton are upping the number of residential units in the first phase of the project again.
