Our home

Gem City is not a backdrop.
It is part of the architecture.

Emerald Paradise is shaped by Dayton's tradition of invention, reinvention, neighborhood entrepreneurship, music, style, and resilience.

That local point of view travels through every brand we build—and keeps the enterprise connected to the community that made it possible.
