University of toledo
In 2010, Fairmount Properties was selected to partner with the University of Toledo Foundation to develop the University of Toledo Gateway project on a 23-acre site at the front door of its main campus. Opened in the Fall of 2012, Phase I includes 85,000 sq. ft. of ground-level retail, anchored by a two-level Barnes & Noble Bookstore with and Starbucks cafe. The upper levels include loft-style residences that house 150 UT students. Phase II will include additional retail and Class A office space. College Town Toledo has enhanced the gateway to the university while creating a vibrant, diverse mixed-use district for the campus population and surrounding neighborhoods. Both physically and programmatically linked to UT, the development has become a new front door to campus.

“The new University of Toledo Gateway will energize the UT Main Campus with restaurants and businesses that the University and neighborhood communities both will enjoy. The project will go a long way in helping create a University Town feel around our campus and we want to recognize Fairmont Properties for its vision and collaborative spirit in the execution of this meaningful initiative.”
