Fairmount Properties is leading the development of the 4th Avenue Innovation District in Huntington, West Virginia, a transformative project designed to bridge the gap between academia and industry. Positioned strategically between Downtown Huntington and Marshall University, this $200+ million initiative is set to be a catalyst for economic advancement in the region. The Innovation District is more than just a collection of buildings; it is an ecosystem fostering collaboration among industry leaders, academics, and innovators. The district features state-of-the-art facilities such as the Institute for Cyber Security, the Center for Medical Technology and Innovation, and the Marshall Advanced Manufacturing Center. These centers are tailored to support a variety of sectors including cybersecurity, medical technology, and advanced manufacturing, offering spaces that are flexible and designed to meet the needs of both startups and established companies. 

 In addition to its focus on innovation and research, the district is designed with a community-driven approach, integrating retail, dining, and residential options to create a vibrant and dynamic environment. The inclusion of a 125-room nationally branded hotel, upscale residential options, and amenities tailored to professionals ensures that the district is not only a place to work but also a place to live, play, and thrive. Fairmount Properties' commitment to excellence in this mission-driven project is evident in every aspect of the development, from design to execution. This initiative is poised to position Huntington as a hub for innovation and economic growth, driving a new era of prosperity for the region.
