The complex is an established mixed-use, office, retail, luxury living, dining and entertainment center and serves as the third major shopping mall in the Dayton region.

The Greene was built in two phases over 72 acres (290,000 m2) of land at a cost estimated exceed $200 million when complete.

The first phase includes tenants such as Lane Bryant, White House Black Market, Cheesecake Factory, Chico's, Sephora, and numerous other retailers and/or restaurants, some new to the Dayton area.

Von Maur is sometimes described as the Nordstrom of the Midwest and features fashion, accessories and beauty products, but not furniture or other department store goods.

Like Nordstrom, Von Maur is also known for a high degree of customer service, including handwritten notes from employees following purchases.

Research from other Steiner projects has evidenced that the number of visitors is essentially unaffected by seasonal weather.

The affluent areas of Beavercreek, Bellbrook, Kettering, Oakwood, Centerville, and Springboro are the core market for the shopping complex.
