Site features Xavier Square interactive map




An interactive map of the future Xavier Square development is being featured on the Alumni & Friends section of Xavier University website.

The 20-acre mixed-use project, which is a joint venture between the university and Corporex Companies, will be built at Montgomery and Dana avenues (BIRD'S EYE) and will include:

* 120,000 square feet of office space
* 100,000 square feet of retail space
* A 90-room boutique hotel
* 550-600 student apartments
* 120 market-rate housing units
* A university recreation center, bookstore and health center

The project is being funded through a $200 million capital campaign called "To See Great Wonders".

The project site was once the home of BASF, destroyed in an explosion and fire in 1990; and Zumbiel Packaging, which moved to Hebron in 2004.
