Fireside with Aaron Savino

Aaron Savino is a respected commercial real estate leader whose work has helped shape the modern business landscape of the Dayton region. As a Principal at Apex Commercial Group, Aaron operates at the intersection of capital, community, and commerce—advising property owners, investors, developers, and corporate occupiers across office, industrial, retail, and land assets throughout Southwest Ohio.

What distinguishes Aaron is not simply transaction volume, but perspective. With deep-rooted relationships spanning private investors, institutional players, economic development organizations, and civic leadership, he has a rare, real-time pulse on the forces influencing Dayton’s commercial market. His vantage point allows him to see not only where deals are happening today, but where momentum is building tomorrow.

Aaron is widely regarded as a connector—someone who understands how industries move in and out of markets, why companies choose to expand or relocate, and how infrastructure, workforce, and capital trends intersect to drive long-term growth. His insight into advanced manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, technology, and professional services has made him a trusted advisor for those making high-stakes location and investment decisions in the region.

In this fireside chat, Aaron will share candid perspectives on the evolution of Dayton’s commercial real estate landscape, emerging opportunities and risks, and the signals he watches to anticipate what’s next for the region. Expect practical insight, grounded optimism, and a forward-looking view from someone who doesn’t just observe the market—he helps move it. What to expect from a Fireside Experience:
