The Arcade District Development represents over $200 Million of investment in what was originally 10 historic buildings, spanning two city blocks and over 810,000 SF in the City of Dayton’s central business district. The first phase of the development, South Arcade Phase 1, commenced construction in April 2019 with the first tenancy in early 2021. In seeing the overall vision of the Arcade District, and touring the completed first phase, Bruce Katz, the widely acclaimed urban expert, declared the Arcade as “the most transformative project in America”.
This TMUD award is critical to completing the next $139.8 Million portion of the Arcade District Development, which encompasses the following phases:
• South Arcade Phase 2: This $12.2 Million phase will complete the overall 265,000 GSF South Arcade development including the expansion of the Arcade Innovation Hub, 6888 Kitchen Incubator, Artist Resource Center, and space for multiple restaurants.
• North Arcade: This $23.3 Million 108,000 GSF phase to complete the 94-bed Hilton Garden Inn, pop- up retail, and neighboring Stop-N-Save Grocery.
