BEAVERCREEK, OHIO — Von Maur has opened a 140,000-square-foot department store at The Greene in Beavercreek.
The Greene, located between Dayton and Columbus, is a 72-acre lifestyle center that includes 85 retail, entertainment and dining tenants, as well as 120,000 square feet of office space and 200 residential units.
Barry Rosenberg, president of Steiner + Associates, says Von Maur’s decision to open its second store in the state at The Greene, instead of in a larger city such as Cleveland or Cincinnati, says a lot about the retailer’s confidence in the project.
“Von Maur will raise the bar for fashion in the Miami Valley region when it comes to The Greene,” says Rosenberg. “The level of service at Von Maur is remarkable. Quite honestly, Von Maur’s decision is a vote of confidence for Dayton as a whole.”
Phase I of the project opened in August 2006. The Davenport, Iowa-based department store will anchor Phase II, and recently announced tenants include Forever 21, S&K Menswear, Bethany’s Bridal and Sephora. Upon completion, The Greene will be a $200 million project, featuring 1.1 million square feet of space.
“Dayton is an underserved retail market,” says Rosenberg. “With a metropolitan population that has grown to 1 million plus, it’s clear we have a ready audience for the type of mixed-use project Steiner develops.”
