Lofts are in High Demand

Loft living is nothing new to Dayton. The earliest lofts were built in 1995 – starting with just six units.

Since 2001, the number of market-rate housing units in downtown Dayton has doubled, increasing the number of units from 485 to 964.

The market response has far exceeded expectations and demand exceeds supply. 

The Merc is the newest in Dayton’s loft community to emerge to meet this demand, offering you the European lifestyle of convenience, simplicity, and beauty.
