“From Preservation to Activation: The Dayton Arcade’s Comeback Story“
After nearly 30 years of darkness, the Arcade has been transformed into a vibrant, modern space while keeping its historic soul intact. Inside the nine-building complex, you’ll find the University of Dayton’s innovation hub, dining and shopping, event spaces, affordable artist housing, and a new hotel. This wasn’t just a construction project; it was a labor of love. Dave Williams, Cross Street Partners, will share why the comeback of the Arcade is a symbol of our city’s resilience and a sign of exciting things to come for downtown. It’s more than just a building; it’s our history and our future, all under one magnificent glass dome.
