Modern Technology Solutions Inc. has signed the first lease at the new Stratos Hilltop office park on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The company will utilize the 22,000-square-foot space to accommodate approximately 100 employees as it expands its regional footprint.
Why it matters
The move enables the company to meet a specific customer request for increased support in the Dayton area, necessitating secure facilities for government and contractor collaboration. This expansion follows a period of rapid local growth, where the firm's Dayton-area workforce has climbed to over 700 employees.
Modern Technology Solutions Inc. now employs over 700 people in the Dayton area, up from 100 staff more than a decade ago. The new 22,000-square-foot lease at Stratos Hilltop follows a 10,000-square-foot expansion completed at the company's Beavercreek facility in March 2026.
The players
Modern Technology Solutions Inc.
A professional services and technology firm with approximately 2,800 nationwide employees that provides support to government and defense customers.
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
A major United States Air Force installation that utilizes enhanced use leases to allow private development on base land.
Synergy
A commercial real estate developer responsible for the construction and management of the Stratos Hilltop office park.
The details
Modern Technology Solutions Inc. is adding the Stratos Hilltop site to its existing footprint on Col. Glenn Highway in Beavercreek to provide secure space for specialized government and contractor meetings. The site's location within the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base enhanced use lease area offers the proximity necessary for the firm's ongoing support contracts. The company continues to maintain its established Beavercreek offices, which underwent a major 10,000-square-foot expansion earlier this year.
Timeline
March 2026: Company completes 10,000-square-foot expansion at Col. Glenn Highway facility.
February 2026: Modern Technology Solutions Inc. reaches 600 local employees.
Spring 2025: Fence on National Road is moved to facilitate office park development.
Market Landscape
The project follows the pattern of the Air Force's enhanced use lease program, which allows private firms to lease underutilized base land for commercial operations. This specific development marks a significant expansion of that framework by integrating a major regional contractor onto the installation's grounds.
Operators in the government contracting space should monitor how proximity to military installations influences office real estate demand and security compliance requirements. Businesses with similar scaling patterns should evaluate whether site-specific secure facilities are becoming a prerequisite for winning future task orders.
The takeaway
Rapidly scaling government contractors increasingly require hybrid office strategies that integrate secure on-base facilities with established regional headquarters. Owners should track the impact of localized workforce growth on future facility leasing requirements and government support contract mandates.
