The Investor Angle

Multi-Family Investment

With 192 total planned multi-family units across Subareas C and E, including 144 garden-style apartments and 60 townhome/BTR units, Antwerp Square is a compelling solution to the region's significantly underbuilt rental market. Purpose-built, market-rate apartments are in short supply across rural Northwest Ohio, and direct workforce-housing demand from 400+ new Defiance jobs creates immediate absorption potential.

Senior Housing Designation

Dedicated space within the master plan captures the rapidly aging regional demographic. With Paulding County's senior population growing alongside rising demand for attainable assisted and independent living options, this represents a first-mover opportunity in a market with virtually no competing modern senior product.
