Restaurant hamilton compressed

Joe & John Lanni May 17, 2016

We would like to take a moment to thank you for considering your hometown of Hamilton, Ohio as a possible restaurant location.

There is much to be excited about in Hamilton. Buildings are being renovated, people are moving in, and the business community is growing. As we aggressively pursue the enhancement of quality of life, the energy and excitement continues to grow throughout the city.

As Butler County’s urban alternative, Hamilton stands out from neighboring communities by providing a vibrant, walkable downtown for urban living. By focusing and capitalizing on our unique downtown, we have created an atmosphere that is not easily duplicated. And people are starting to notice. Some of our recently

completed projects include RiversEdge amphitheater, the Mercantile Lofts, Artspace Hamilton lofts, 150 High Street (conversion of a former downtown department store into office and retail space), and the Journal-News building (home to the Butler Tech School of the Arts and the Miami Valley Ballet Theatre).

The amenities in our downtown and surrounding historic neighborhoods are continuing to grow. In addition to the traditional urban amenities of a library, creative arts center, central park, bike trail, and public transit network, there are also ten restaurants, twelve shops, and most amenities one would need all in walking distance including a pharmacy, dry cleaner, and a grocery store.

Furthermore, companies are investing in Hamilton.

Barclaycard is ramping up to 1,500 customer contact center representatives in Hamilton. STARTEK, an international call center company, chose to locate a new 700 person call center

in downtown. ODW LTS, a downtown Hamilton logistics company, is also undergoing rapid growth.

TriHealth has invested $45 million in its Hamilton hospital complex. ThyssenKrupp Bilstein, a manufacturer of automobile parts which is headquartered in Hamilton, recently invested $26 million in its Hamilton campus and is hiring for an additional 214 jobs. This is their third expansion since 2011. iMFLUX, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Procter & Gamble, chose to locate in Hamilton in 2013, relocating their 30 current employees and creating 221 new jobs as they invest $50 million in capital improvements.

We hope that you see firsthand the projects that are putting Hamilton on the region’s radar. With the successes of our public-private partnerships and aggressiveness of our utilities, the revitalization of our city has taken off over the past few years. Our strong

partnerships and “can-do” attitude make Hamilton a dynamic place to live, work, and play. Let’s have a conversation about the possibilities that are abundant in Hamilton.

Sincerely,

Joshua Smith City Manager

103 Main Street

This building was recently acquired by the City of Hamilton. Situated at an important intersection, over 35,000 cars travel through this loca-tion every day. The second floor (and possible rooftop patio!) could have an unparalleled view of the Great Miami River.

The building comes with rear parking lot and an 18 car public parking

lot being developed by CORE a half block away.

This building will have high visibility from and connectivity to the Champion Sports Complex. Early estimates are that the sports complex will draw over 3,000 people each week.

345 North Third Street

This building has a long history as a restaurant in Hamilton. The kitchen is largely intact, although it will require upgrades and the building needs general updates to modernize it.

The building owner owns a substantial amount of property surrounding the building and therefore a large shared parking lot is available behind the building.

Third Street just underwent a $1.6 million upgrade to create a neighborhood plaza which offers great patio seating opportunities. It can be closed easily for events.

The plaza is now home to the Hamilton Flea. The first Hamilton Flea drew over 2,000 people and once the weather improves, attendance is expected to double.

16 North D Street & 244 Main

CORE recently purchased a six building block on Main Street.

Two buildings were demolished, allowing for patio seating and public parking which is currently under construction.

While these two buildings are not large enough on their own, combined they could provide a great location. Two patio spaces,

Mercantile Lofts (basement)

In 2012, the Mercantile Lofts opened downtown. This project has been a major success and a catalyst for much of the rest of the redevelopment of downtown Hamilton.

All three of the High Street commercial spaces have been occupied since 2013, but the basement space which has Market Street frontage, has remained vacant.

The basement space is about 3,000+ sq. ft. in size and would provide a unique atmosphere for a restaurant.

This building is in the heart of downtown, surrounded by downtown’s new and growing resident and business community.

There is ample on-street parking.

It would require a full build-out and ventilating a kitchen has not been investigated at this point.
