Plans for private retail and residential development on the former site of the Vernors ginger ale plant, now owned by Wayne State University , broke down recently after more than a year and 11 plans. Negotiations between the university and Wayne South University Village , a partnership of The Hubbell Group in Detroit and Chicago-based Marquette Property Investment broke down because of differences over the scope of the project. The university hopes to identify a new partner and a plan for the 6-acre parcel before the end of the year and to start building in 2006, said WSU Executive Vice President Meredith Gibbs. She said the South University Village partnership submitted a plan that "was very creative and made a very good use of the site." But the two sides could not agree on size.
