Downtown Dayton is the central business district of Dayton, Ohio, United States. Major reinvestment in the downtown area began heavily in the mid-1990s, and continues today with $2 billion in residential, commercial, health, and transportation developments that has or is taking place in the downtown area.

While much of the city's population decamped to surrounding suburbs in the second half of the 20th century, downtown Dayton has begun to gain population again since the early 2000s with a 96-98 percent housing occupancy rate.[2] Downtown Dayton is home to 42,000 employees, 2,000 residents, and more than 7 million yearly visitors.[1] It is also becoming one of the most technology oriented and high-tech friendly downtowns in the United States.
