 West Lafayette, IN – Subtext, a national student housing and multifamily real estate company, has announced the grand opening of VERVE West Lafayette, a 7-story mixed-use student housing community located just two blocks from Purdue University.

 

The development, at 150 S. Chauncey Avenue, West Lafayette, IN, is Subtext’s first project in West Lafayette and second in Indiana, after VERVE Bloomington.

 

 Subtext is also developing EVER West Lafayette, its second West Lafayette project, which is scheduled to open across the street at 147 West Wood St. in 2025. 

 

The 235-unit, 400,310-square-foot community features fully furnished studio, one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, totaling 751 beds.

 “Subtext is excited to be in West Lafayette given Purdue’s commitment to growth,” said Brandt Stiles, Founding Partner, Subtext. “We experienced a very collaborative process with the city, which led to architecture that steps down from surrounding buildings and feels super contextual to the neighborhood.

 

"The building has quality, timeless materials, like masonry, and a 20-foot window wall at the street level that gives visibility into the lobby.

 

 "With standout design details from the exterior to the interior, and walkability to campus and to State Street—which is really the epicenter of student activity off-campus—VERVE West Lafayette is here to deliver an unmatched resident experience.”

“In addition to the amazing features and amenities VERVE West Lafayette offers, residents will get an onsite team that is active, in tune, and responsive,” said Timothy VanMatre, Founding Partner, Subtext.

 

 “They were an integral part of not only creating the community here but helping to put the finishing touches on the property.

 

"The feedback the site team gathered during resident tours resulted in adjustments to our plans along the way, including changing the hot tub to year-round, increasing apartment TV sizes to 65 inches, and adding blackout curtains.”

 

Architecture is by WDG Architecture with interior design by Ankrom Moisan. Other development team partners include Brinkmann Constructors, general contractor; TBIRD Design Services, civil engineer; and PNC, lender.
