Downtown Revitalization and Riverfront Development

Located on the Miami River, Piqua is a charming community that embraces an active lifestyle. Piqua residents are at home navigating river rapids, hiking and biking on the Great Miami River Recreational Trail, shopping in charming downtown shops, dining at incredibly farm-to-table restaurants, and enjoying one of the many events or concerts that regularly fill our residents’ weekend calendars. In Piqua, it is possible to have it all – outdoor recreation, culture, dining and entertainment, great schools, and affordable housing options. With so much to offer, Piqua is a thriving and growing community. Still, for those needing to be near a larger city, Piqua is only thirty minutes from Dayton and a little over an hour from Columbus.

With an ideal location and numerous amenities, Piqua is ripe for investment, development, and growth.

Piqua’s Downtown and Riverfront Revitalization

Piqua’s downtown is the centerpiece of the community and part of an Opportunity Zone. Investors have a unique opportunity to invest in downtown businesses or to develop additional properties within Piqua’s downtown and riverfront areas.

There are opportunities for retailers, restaurants, and service-industry businesses looking to start or to expand their footprint here. Investors can also invest in R&D or tech companies looking to grow in the area. Whether the investment is made directly into a business or into the property they are occupying, investors can reduce their capital gains tax by investing here through a Qualified Opportunity Fund.

There is also a demand for developers looking to build mixed-use properties with retail and offices on the ground floor and housing above. This property type fits well within Piqua’s riverfront and would appeal to millennials and other residents looking to have immediate access to restaurants, shops, parks, and the Great Miami River Recreational Trail.
