Standing along Northwestern Avenue its easy to see change. Mackey Arena underwent a nearly $100-million renovation which finished less than a year ago. Just down the street is the site of what will be the $38-million Wang Hall Electrical and Computer Engineering facility and now at the corner of Northwestern and Evergreen will be a nearly $50-million mixed use development. Purdue overall is pretty under developed compared to some of its peers in the Big Ten, said Matt Garrison. Our goal as developers is to try to meet that demand. Garrisons company is constructing a five story building at the site. It will feature 230 apartments, retail space, and a Fresh City Market. Jeff Mauer is the owner of the Madison, Wisconsin-based grocery store. He says this type of development benefits all residents. It adds to the excitement of the campus (and) to the neighborhoods around it, he said. Its going to allow people to spend less time in their cars. There are more options for them to do business
