WEST LAFAYETTE, IND. — Varcity has unveiled plans to open Varcity at Purdue, a 239-unit, university-based retirement community within Purdue University’s Discovery Park District. Developed in partnership with Purdue University and the Purdue for Life Foundation, the property will bring a new generation of residents to campus.
