The Village at Dayton Mall

HEAPY designed the Mechanical-Electrical systems for the new 90,000 SF Lifestyle Center. Adding a new gateway to the existing retail center, an exceptionally large parking field was repurposed to draw interest from popular stores. The open-air concept presents itself as an upscale mall, where guests can casually window shop or relax as they stroll along the sidewalks that lead to the indoor facility.

The space creates an ambiance that is reminiscent of a small, rural town, applying touches including reproduction lamp posts, freshly groomed greenery, and park benches throughout the complex. The village-style addition has brought rejuvenated energy to the property, with new retailers negotiating for additional expansion locations.

The Center features both high-end restaurants and tenants enhancing Dayton Mall’s already strong retail mix. The new lifestyle center is open-air, pedestrian friendly that blends shopping, food, and entertainment to give customers a town-center experience.
