LOCATION OVERVIEW: Located along the I-75 corridor, just above I-70, Piqua, Ohio offers a quiet “rural quality of life” that is just minutes away from big city attractions, with over 1000 acres of land zoned for industrial use, and numerous new housing developments offering a full continuum of housing for every lifestyle. Part of the Dayton Metropolitan Statistical Area, Piqua is located approximately 30 miles north of the city but also has a very strategic placement being equidistant from both Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio (85 miles). Piqua has two main roadways, U.S. 36 (East Ash), which runs east-west through much of the city, cutting the city almost directly in half and I-75, a major interstate that runs from Cincinnati to Toledo with direct access to Downtown Dayton. The featured asset is also just 22 miles from Dayton International Airport
