Stratos Hilltop, the new office development rising on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base land off National Road, is planned to have its first business tenant: defense contractor MTSI.
The first Stratos Hilltop building is a four-story, 88,000-square-foot structure going up on Wright-Patterson’s Area B, off National Road, as reported by the Springfield News-Sun. Ground broke on the building in March 2026, and the newspaper reports the campus will eventually include a pedestrian gate connecting it directly to the base. According to the Dayton Development Corporation, that first structure carries a total project cost of $40 million and is targeted for completion in fall 2027.
A second campus, Stratos Valley, is planned just over the hill on Col. Glenn Highway. Together, the two developments are planned to include eight or nine buildings across more than 40 acres of Wright-Patterson property, with the Dayton Development Corporation separately pegging the overall Stratos buildout at eight to nine buildings across 44 acres with a seven-to-ten-year construction timeline and more than $250 million in total private investment, citing estimates from Synergy reported by WVXU.
