Develop onMain
There are five employment focused buildings planned as part of the neighborhood. The first one is currently under development. The intent is to start development at the southeast corner (intersection of Stewart and Main Streets) and work from the edges of the site inward. The University Financing Foundation (TUFF) is currently developing the first employment building on the site, the Think Dayton building.
In addition to employment building development opportunities there are opportunities for residential development, including apartments and live/work units. Initially, there are five buildings with a total of approximately 1.3 to 1.5 million SF of residential use planned for the development. The amount of residential buildings may change depending on market demand.

The multi-use community trail extends along the western edge of onMain, connecting the Roundhouse Plaza and Northern Bluff south to the stormwater park and Stewart Street.

It will connect to the existing Great Miami River Trail via a bicycle and pedestrian bridge over Patterson Boulevard that reuses the remaining bridge abutments from a former rail bridge.

Local retailers, dining, and community uses along Main Street will invite people to meet their neighbors and try something new. Along the sidewalks, shade trees, bicycle parking, and benches will be provided to create a safe and welcoming place for people.
SHARED STREET
