With support by the Dayton Recovery Plan, 16 new owner-occupied, single-family
homes are slated for a one-acre site known as The Point in Old North Dayton.
The market-rate, two-story homes are planned for the northeast corner of the
intersection of Keowee and Valley Streets (near the north end of the Tony Stein
Memorial Bridge). The homes will be in groups of four in four buildings facing Valley
Street and Keowee Street, with parking areas behind the buildings.

The City of Dayton is working in partnership with Cincinnati-based Civitas Development
Group to launch the project. Civitas is a minority-owned company with a record of
success in developing single and multi-unit properties. It specializes in urban infill
development and collaborative leveraging of private and public funding.
With City Commission approval on May 8, the Dayton Recovery Plan will invest $1.5
million in the $4 million project. The Dayton Recovery Plan funds will be used for
predevelopment and construction services needed to build the homes.
The development capitalizes on roadway and greenspace improvements in the
immediate vicinity and will create a new gateway to the Old North Dayton area. In
recent years, CityWide Development Corporation, in cooperation with the City Dayton,
led a process to identify and implement enhancements in The Point area.
The Dayton Recovery Plan is the City of Dayton’s framework for transformative
investment of $138 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds dedicated to
recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Dayton’s goal for the funding is to create
long-term transformational and sustainable impacts in focus areas, as well as special
initiatives with impact citywide. For more information, go to daytonohio.gov/drp.
