IRG Realty Advisors, the owner of Third + Dayton in downtown, wants to turn a vacant, paved lot into an another apartment complex. Proposed is a 120-unit mixed use planned development on 2.75 acres that corners MLK Jr. Boulevard at Butler and Dayton streets.

However, she said the 186 parking spaces for the project won’t be all on-site for the proposed apartment. IRG Realty Advisors told the city some of the parking spots for the mixed-use project will be on the site across MLK Boulevard at Third + Dayton.

“The city of Hamilton is poised for vibrant growth and development, and a new residential project aims to contribute to this momentum,” according to a statement the company provided the city of Hamilton. The statement went on to say the proposed fifth + butler building “will transform an underutilized space into a vibrant residential community, offering residents modern amenities, sustainable design and convenient access to local amenities and transportation.”
