Glimcher's plans follow recent moves by a competing developer to establish a $186 million retail and entertainment center in Beavercreek. "Part of it is defensive and part of it is offensive," company President Michael Glimcher said. "We've been talking about this for two years and we've decided it's time to get more aggressive." ... http://www.daytondailynews.com/business/content/business/daily/1107glimcher.html

July 21, 200519 yr The placement of the trees looks odd. Some of that looks like trees surrounded by pavement and no parking. Some that look part of the same area are in grass some in pavement. Weird indeed.....
July 21, 200519 yr ^That is odd... maybe it was just done by whoever made the map. "Hmmn an empty spot... needs some trees!"
July 21, 200519 yr Cost Plus! I remember them when I lived in the Bay Area..they are sort of a better Pier One. The Track and Trail place sounds interesting. I also see a bit of retail musical chairs, too...the Borders will be moving from that South Point or Southtown shopping center just east on 725, which is where that dead K-Mart is. Bravo is in an outlot in the same shopping center. Too bad we are not getting a Joseph Beth. With the decline Books and Company (which has really went downhill) Joseph-Beth is the best in the region (yet the Wexner gift shop is still tops for design and architecture books/mags). In any case, the Dayton Mall needs all the help it can get. It was one of those DeBartolo malls, which are very utilitarian, even for the times they where built in.
July 22, 200519 yr Am I the only one not a big fan of the "open air" shopping? It sucks in the winter!

June 16, 20177 yr Dayton Mall planners envisioning life after Sears The development efforts around the Dayton Mall are planning for life after Sears. ... The plan is already showing the potential removal of the southern Sears anchor in favor of a "Main Street" corridor that connects the mall to Lyons Road to the south. Those out-lots at the mall could be converted to residential units to create a "walkable, active community with a sense of place." The Sears space in particular was targeted because of the retailer's challenges but also its size at the mall — Sears and its parking lot sit on 15.6 acres along the southeastern edge of the mall, just southwest of The Villages at 725. Seritage owns the site and Sears leases it from them. Seritage is actively marketing the leasing of the Dayton Mall and trying to lease the site, and Snyder said the township is talking with them to guide prospective redevelopment at the mall.

June 16, 20177 yr I'm totally fine with this area slowly morphing into some sort of "Greene South", since there's only so far you can take pedestrian-friendliness with the way that area is laid out. What I don't want to see is the "main street" swapped out for a bunch of big box stores, sort of like what happened to the old Westgate Mall site in Fairview Park. Good on the township for at least pursuing an idea that could help create some sense of place. “To an Ohio resident - wherever he lives - some other part of his state seems unreal.”
