INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
Strategic Location and Accessibility: Situated along Miller Lane near Interstate 75 and Dayton International Airport, benefiting from strong visibility and connectivity to

increase room revenue to $1.2–$1.4 million dollars and drive stronger returns for investors.

Once home to the Wright brothers, Dayton was a thriving city in the heart of western Ohio with deep roots in aviation. Since then, Dayton has evolved into a modern hub for aerospace technology, advanced manufacturing, health sciences, and information technology. Its economic growth is supported by major employers such as Premier Health Partners, Kettering Health Network, Montgomery County, Dayton Children’s Hospital, Wright State University, and the University of Dayton. Anchored by major regional assets like Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the Great Miami Buried Aquifer, the city’s asset-based economic model focuses on five key clusters—Aerospace R&D, Human Sciences & Health Care, Information Technology, Advanced Materials & Manufacturing, and Water. Recent redevelopment efforts in Dayton include the renovation of the historic Centre City Building and the revitalization of the Dayton Arcade into a vibrant mixed-use space. Moreover, the Dayton Convention Center underwent a $45 million modernization to enhance its appeal for large events. Additionally, Hotel Ardent opened in 2025 as a 118-room boutique hotel in the Theatre District, adding upscale lodging to the downtown area.
Beyond its economic strength, Dayton offers a rich cultural and recreational landscape. The city’s Five Rivers MetroParks system and the Great Miami Riverway provide extensive green spaces, trails, and outdoor experiences that define its livability. Regional attractions such as the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, Carillon Historical Park, Boonshoft Museum of Discovery, and Dayton Art Institute highlight its historical and artistic legacy. Major annual events such as the CenterPoint Energy Dayton Air Show, Dayton Hamvention, and the OUT HERE Dayton Film Festival contribute significant leisure demand. The downtown area boasts more than 300 annual performances and a $213 million regional arts impact, with venues including the Dayton Performing Arts Complex, independent theaters, and museums. In addition, the nearby Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway and surrounding commercial developments continue to attract corporate and transient guests alike.
Between year-end 2024 and the twelve months ending in September 2025, the Hotel experienced a 0.7 percent increase in room revenue. This trend indicates potential foreseeable advantages for buyers, including additional capital for renovations and enhanced cash flow. With a RevPAR Index of 94 percent, the Hotel presents untapped potential. Strategic revenue management and marketing could increase room revenue to $1.2–$1.4 million dollars and drive stronger returns for investors.
