The Greene - Dayton, Ohio

The Greene
Design/Completion: 2005/2006
Location: Dayton, Ohio, USA
Client: Steiner + Associates
Size: 800,000 square feet/74,349 square meters

A progressive mix of Midwestern mercantile architectural styles characterize The Greene, a regional shopping, dining and residential district designed around a central town square. Approximately 400,000 square feet of retail and restaurants, an 80,000-s.f. stadium-seating cinema and 150 loft-style residences overlook The Greene's fountained town square and elongated central park. The project also features 100,000 square feet of high-tech office suites and a full-service hotel.

By making residential components a prominent feature in civic space, The Greene achieves a level of established authenticity; a mix of retail and residential that creates the dense livable space of a town that has evolved over time. Civic anchors, rather than retail icons, evoke architectural memories of a firehouse, town hall, bank and library. These echoes of traditional main street are positioned at key visual intersections along streets and park corners. Two large farmers market buildings, complete with restaurants and small shops, bracket the town square.

The Greene's use of a variety of colors, textures and traditional brick-and-stone materials, and its commitment to projecting designed elements into the public space with bridging components like canopies, colonnades and outdoor dining options infuses the project with life and vitality. The result is a mixed-use destination that enlivens the public square and encourages residents and visitors to engage, experience and explore their environment.
