The downtown waterfront along the Maumee River has seen investment around Promenade Park and the Mud Hens' Fifth Third Field, though revitalization has been incremental compared to Ohio's larger metros. The I-75 corridor south through Perrysburg and Findlay captures the majority of new retail and suburban office activity, while the I-80 corridor and Toledo Express Airport area serve industrial and logistics tenants. The University of Toledo and its medical center provide a stable employment anchor and generate consistent demand for student housing and medical office properties in the surrounding neighborhoods.
