Jessup Residence

Construction continues for this whole house, West Oakwood renovation.  Kent Development Group has spent months weatherizing the exterior of this historical 1920’s Georgian style house.  Exterior improvements include, new copper dormers, rebuilding the chimneys and renovating the decorative box gutter system.  Once the house was dried in, we could focus on the interior renovations including a new kitchen and pantry room to go along with four new bathrooms.  In addition, the hardwood floors were refinished to add to the homes charm.

Washington Township Recreation Center

Construction is complete for the facade improvements to the Washington Township Recreation Center.  We started by removing the original, diagonal cedar siding and updating the front elevation to a more contemporary look.  Stucco stone was added to the lower portions, standing seam metal roof was added to the overhang and Hardi lap siding was installed to the upper sections.

Real Art Design Group

In June, 2009 Kent Development Group completed the construction of the 17,800 square foot building for the Real Art Design Group.  Their new spaces consist of a large open design studio (addition over the existing CMU building, a new center lunch room area and a new three story residential tower to the west (towards Brixx).  The exterior is clad with cement fiber panels, cor-ten steel and stucco.  Interior cladding consists of bamboo paneling, MDF paneling and exposed framing.

Bodiker Residence

For this McPherson Town couple, Kent Development Group, applied a new five color paint scheme to their historical residence.  In addition to countless hours scraping and preparing the siding, our carpenters reworked/rebuilt the exterior trim, decking and porch railing.  The results are a magnificent exterior transformation.

Kent Development Group continues installation of the cement fiber panels; the exterior cladding for the future Real Art Design Studio.  Interior wise, drywall is being finished within the eastern most design studio and the middle lunch room.  Within the residential tower to the west, we are finishing up the rough mechanicals then hanging of drywall shortly afterwards.  We are proposing to turn the building over to Real Art, mid April and look forward to catching a few Dayton Dragon ball games from one of the two party decks.
Blind Bob’s

In September, 2007 the Mendenhall family hired Kent Development Group

Blind Bob's American Tavern

to assist them with the transformation of the former Nite Owl, located in the Historical Oregon District, Dayton, Ohio.  Their goal was to open a casual, comfortable American Tavern consisting of good music, food and beer.  In conjunction with our kitchen consultant, Kevin Cooney, we created a redevelopment plan that addressed their wants and desires.  Through a long and arduous process including zoning and financial setbacks we finally persevered and started demolition Memorial weekend, 2008.  Over 6 dumpsters of debris were removed to uncover the original conditions including hand hewn beams, steel beams, heartwood pine floors and brick walls.  After rebuilding the floor to one height, we crafted a new featured oak bar.  In addition, the kitchen and bathrooms were completely rebuilt.  Even through a tight construction schedule Blind Bob’s was able to open on Labor Day weekend.  Now patrons can enjoy filling food while listening to a diverse lineup of live music.  Stop in and check it out you self.
