A landmark reimagined

“To live and work in downtown Dayton is to know the story of the Arcade. CityWide’s office is a block away from the nine buildings that make up the Arcade and it cannot be understated how thrilled we were to see those buildings come back to life one-by-one. The Arcade has stepped into the role of a cultural hub for Daytonians and visitors alike by serving as an architectural marvel, a place to gather, to learn, and to connect.”

“AES Ohio is bringing the energy to Dayton Arcade and its transformation into an international community of innovators and potential investors, lighting the way to our community’s evolution. The Arcade, which opened over a century ago as a modern structure, now drives change and economic growth in downtown Dayton. We are honored to be a part of the Arcade’s rich history by sponsoring the interior and exterior lighting of this innovation hub. The lighting feature will draw attention to downtown Dayton's innovators and entrepreneurs, attracting residents and visitors alike.”

“The Dayton Arcade is a transformational project that represents the revitalization of downtown Dayton, Ohio through historic preservation, innovative design, and community-focused development. By blending modern amenities with rich architectural heritage, the Arcade has become a dynamic hub for entrepreneurship, the arts, and inclusive economic growth—breathing new life into the city’s urban core and inspiring a renewed sense of pride and possibility for residents and visitors alike. With the phase 2 opening of the Hilton Garden Inn on May 19th, as well as the retail space on the ground floor, this is a testimony to the unique nature of this dynamic project that will thrill guests for generations to come!"
