“We are excited to have Brian join the team,” said Joann Ringer, onMain board member and chief administrative officer at Premier. “His deep expertise in urban development right here in the city of Dayton will expand our ability to engage with and accelerate development opportunities.”
UD and Premier in 2017 purchased the 38-acre site — the former home of the Montgomery County fairgrounds — at the corner of Main and Stewart streets. Plans for OnMain: Dayton’s Imagination District is to develop it into a vibrant area that emphasizes employment and includes housing, retail and community uses.
Heitkamph also will oversee the university’s real estate interests that include the Marriott at the University of Dayton, The Hub powered by PNC Bank at the Arcade, Greater West Dayton Incubator, the new Brown Street medical building, and hundreds of houses in the student neighborhood.
“As a UD graduate and through my work at CityWide, I already have a lot of experience and involvement in some of the transformative developments completed like the GE EPISCenter and Arcade projects, and I’m looking forward to being more intimately engaged with onMain and UD,” Heitkamp said.
