Dayton’s bustling commercial real estate developer Jason Woodard and his team have been busy bringing new life to an Oregon District property.
Woodard Development is doing a complete renovation on the two-story former United Business Service building at 505 S. Jefferson St. in Dayton. The company will make the building its permanent home after renovations are completed next year.
Woodard, founder and principal, closed on the purchase of the building at the end of 2022, the DBJ previously reported.
“The new HQ we’ve been spending a lot of our time on,” Woodard said. “This new headquarter investment is another example of our team’s unique ability to re-purpose and activate under-utilized buildings while maintaining their historic fabric. We are proud to say that we are committed to Dayton and the entire region as we look forward to this next phase of our organizational growth.”
He said it was important to find a space that would bring together the culture of Woodard Development across its construction, development and brokerage arms.
“The first floor will be a great home for our construction operation,” Woodard said. “The second floor will be a neat space that will house the rest of the team.”
