Downtown building wins tax credit for $18M in residential work | www.daytondailynews.com

I,too, really hope this project comes to fruition. It would
certainly, in conjunction with the other residential developments
taking place downtown, but it would also repeesent a major
step in the direction of resolving another of downtown's major
problems, that being the excessively high office vacancy rate.
Hopefully we will see more office to residential conversions in
the near future.
Also, as other posters on this site have alluded too, downtown
once featured a much more robust balance of residential
and other uses, with the area that is now the site of Sinclair
and the county administration and court/police related buildings
being a densely populated residential neighborhood before the
days of massive urban renewal projects in Dayton in the 60s/early
70s. Don't get me wrong, we need to attract new office
users downtown,, but anything that we do to help restore that balance of residential

uses versus other uses will
help bring back to the downtown a sense of 24/7 vibrancy in a way that no amount
of office development can. And that, in turn, will help attract
office and other commercial developments/tenants to the diwntown.

I, too, really hope this project comes to fruition. It would
certainly, in conjunction with the other residential developments
taking place downtown, help attract much needed amenities
to the downtown, such as a grocery store.

It would also represent a major
step in the direction of resolving another of downtown's major
problems, that being the excessively high office vacancy rate. The
high vacancy rate depresses leasing rates, making the financing
of new developments, as well as the continued viability of
existing ones, much more problematic than it needs to be.
Hopefully we will see more office to residential conversions in
the near future.

As other posters on this site have alluded too, downtown
once featured a much more robust balance of residential
and other uses, with the area that is now the site of Sinclair
and the county administration and court and other law
enforcement related buildings
being a densely populated residential neighborhood before the
days of massive urban renewal projects in Dayton in the 60s/early
70s. Don't get me wrong, I fully realize we need to attract new office
users downtown for a whole host of reasons, but anything that we do to help restore that balance of residential uses versus most other uses will
help bring back to the downtown a sense of 24/7 vibrancy in a way that no amount
of office development can. And that, in turn, will help attract
office and other commercial developments/tenants to the downtown. This
project would be a big step in that direction.

Default Elder-Beerman closing/consolidating Fairfield Commons Women's Store

Surprised there has been no news coverage on this, but I walked into the Fairfield Commons EB Furniture Gallery today and it was practically empty! Talked with the store manager who was out on the floor and he told me they were combining the women's and men's stores into the original location.

Thus, there will now be an empty anchor at the Fairfield Mall. My guesses for space reuse? Either lure Dillard's north or tear it out and put a lifestyle addition on (a la Polaris). H&M may also use some (but not all) of the space.

Default Kettering Applebee's Closes

If you are going to the west side of Kettering for lunch or dinner, you have one fewer chain option. The other area Applebee's are still open (including the other Kettering location at Delco Park).

Wow.... That does not sound good. Hoping there is already a re-development plan in place.

They seemed to do good sales volume with the two stores from what I observed, and it seems odd to purge the nicer of the two store blocks. Which leads me to think one of the following will happen:

1. Dillard's will move in (seems most logical given Dillard's is expanding to the Liberty Center site)

2. Small lifestyle conversion (seems less likely because it failed at Dayton Mall, although now with DSW and HH Gregg it is looking better. Originally going to be pursued when the Greene was announced, but then decided against after evaluating malls condition and strength).

3. Large lifestyle conversion (most radical, glimcher cancels Sears' lease and demos it an E-B. makes a large center with resulting space. But it would make sense to install H&M, REI, and others into larger lifestyle spaces the Greene cannot handle)
