RELATED: How the next recession could affect Dayton
The most expensive project of the group is the $100 million Water Street District, which includes commercial, residential and a hotel near Riverscape and the Dayton Dragons’ Fifth Third Field.
Water Street is a joint project of Dayton-based Woodard Development and Crawford Hoying Development of Columbus.
“If you look nationally the urban resurgence has continued,” said Jason Woodard, principal at Woodard Development. “We were behind the trend a little bit but are catching up. I think every segment of the community has to be strong. Downtown, we believe, is sustainable.”
