*PRIME CORNER DEVELOPMENT SITE — W Third St & S Conover St | Wright-Dunbar, Dayton, OH 45402*

*The Opportunity:*
Vacant, commercially zoned corner lot located at the southwest corner of West Third Street & South Conover Street, just outside the Wright-Dunbar Historic Business District. Build-to-suit ready with no demolition required. Ideally suited for restaurant, QSR with drive-thru, fuel, EV charging, and 24/7 convenience.

*Location Highlights:*

- Corner lot at W Third St & S Conover St — 1 block west of Broadway, the main north-south artery
- 2 blocks west of the core Wright-Dunbar Business Village (1100-block)
- 0.5 mile direct on West Third to *I-75 Exit 53 (Third St / Salem Ave)* — the primary gateway from I-75 into Downtown Dayton
- 3 minutes to Downtown Dayton via the $17M Third Street Peace Bridge

*Why This Corner:*

*1. High Visibility & Traffic*
The signalized intersection at W Third & Broadway, one block east, exceeds *26,000 VPD* (2024 ODOT). Every vehicle exiting I-75 at Exit 53 travels west on Third past Conover.

- Dual street frontage for signage on W Third (east-west commuters) and S Conover (north-south neighborhood traffic)
- Superior ingress/egress — entry from Third, exit onto Conover — minimizes left-turn conflicts for drive-thru and fuel circulation
- Potential to assemble with adjacent parcels, including 1200 W Third, for a larger footprint

*2. Direct Interstate Access*
- *I-75:* Exit 53 signed as W Third St. All National Park Service directions to Wright-Dunbar use this exit
- *US-35:* Forms the southern border of the district, Perry Street exit serves the site
- Customers from Cincinnati, Columbus, and Vandalia are off the interstate and on-site in under 2 minutes

*3. Center of $40M+ Active Reinvestment Cluster*
Growth is underway within a 2-block radius:

- *The Cornerstone / GWDI Incubator at W Third & Broadway:* University of Dayton, 4,000 SF, $1.8M State + SBA, $650K City, 10-year lease, opening early 2026
- *West Social Tap & Table — 1100 W Third:* Dayton's first food hall, 6 operators, $2M+ investment
- *The Townes at Wright Dunbar — 1013 W Third:* 26 market-rate townhomes, opened Spring 2025
- *San Marco Project — 800 W Third:* 124 residential units + 15,700 SF commercial proposed
- *Zion Gateway — W Third & Edwin C. Moses Blvd:* City RFP for 3.4-acre mixed-use development

Located immediately outside the historic demarcation, allowing flexible development for modern prototypes while benefiting from district foot traffic to Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park, Sinclair College, and Downtown.

*Incentives:* Designated Opportunity Zone. City development grants available.
