Activated Spaces :: The Pop-up Project

The Activated Spaces Pop-up Project matches business owners and entrepreneurs who want to try out a business concept with downtown property owners who have first-floor storefront space available for occupancy. The Pop-up Project is a component of the Greater Downtown Dayton Plan.

The Pilot Pop-up Project :: An Activated Spaces Success Story

The warm glow from Peace on Fifth

Activated Spaces volunteers plan to build on the success of the Pop-Up Project’s pilot phase, when three businesses filled 2,300 square feet of space. Two of those businesses ― Beaute Box, 116 W. Fifth St., and Peace on Fifth, 519 E. Fifth St. ― are looking to convert their temporary leases into traditional long-term ones. Another business, Basho Screen Printing and Apparel, opened a second area location at 521-523 E. Fifth St. after being drawn to the space when it was occupied by Comfort & Joy, which offered holiday gifts, during the Pop-Up Project’s pilot.
