MUNCIE, IN — Ball State University will host a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the launch of the Village South residential development.
The event will be at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, June 17, at North and Martin streets.
This new housing project is part of the university’s broad revitalization plan for the Village, a public-private partnership with city leaders and private developers. The revitalization effort is transforming The Village into “a vibrant district featuring new entertainment, residential and dining spaces,” according to a news release.
Village South will include 17 attached townhomes and eight single-family homes designed to accommodate a range of homebuyer preferences and price points. The site will also feature new green space, created in part by the partial vacancy of Dill Street. The first homes are expected to be available in 2026.
This project builds on momentum from other major developments already underway in The Village, including the University’s Performing Arts Center and adjacent Cantio Hotel, which broke ground last November. More recently, work began on a new Center for Innovation and Collaboration, at Ashland Avenue and Martin Street.
Community members are invited to join the June 17 groundbreaking celebration to learn more about the project. Parking will be available on Calvert and Gilbert streets to the south and west of the site, as well as in the Student Center parking garage.
