Tech Town
Located on the eastern edge of downtown Dayton, north of Monument Avenue
The strategic plan for Tech Town creates a technology-based urban campus that is targeted to attract high-tech companies into downtown Dayton. Its setting provides a distinctive campus environment, leveraging neighborhood amenities including Fifth Third Field, RiverScape, Deeds Point and the 2nd Street Market.
- 40 acre (6 block) site capable of supporting 380,000 to 580,000 square feet of technology-driven companies, research and development components, and learning facilities
- Incorporates urban design features such as pedestrian crosswalks, street lighting, on-street parking, open spaces and other amenities
- The Creative Technology Accelerator, the first building in Tech Town, will house up to five firms specializing in commercialization of emerging technologies. It is estimated that up to 400 employees will work in the Creative Technology Accelerator building when it is complete in mid-2009.

Patterson High School
118 E. First Street
The former Patterson High School is a prime redevelopment site in downtown’s northeast quadrant. The school was demolished in 2008, leaving a prime site that could become a dynamic, mixed-use development that could include housing, office and retail/entertainment or – for the right user – a corporate headquarters. Situated between RiverScape, Fifth Third Field and the Schuster Center, its location is ideal for redevelopment.
