Purdue University in Indianapolis continues to expand its urban campus on the northwest side of downtown , with the intent to buy a 35-year-old apartment complex along the Canal Walk.

The Purdue Board of Trustees approved the purchase of the Canal Square Apartments at 359 N. West St. for $70.1 million on Oct. 10 at a meeting in Indianapolis, pending terms of the acquisition, which the university says will require state approval. The university hopes to close on the property owned by Canal Square Associates by the end of the year.
