Mixed-use complex with eateries, shops, and student amenities
"Accused in the lawsuit of using deceptive practices to lure restaurants and then failing to deliver on promises, USC Village is described as having made little connection with the outside community, not hosting promised farmer’s markets, tailgates and other events to draw local traffic, denying restaurants the ability to accept USCards, and leaving vendors with poor profits during summer and holiday breaks while acting as both landlord and competition to campus dining halls." - Farley Elliott
"Developed as a gigantic, multi-million-dollar mixed-use student residential center intended to anchor both students and the greater University Park neighborhood, USC Village opened in 2018 and is stocked with fast-casual restaurants and chains like Starbucks, Cava, Trejo’s Tacos, and a Trader Joe’s; however, some local non-students felt the place did not cater to them, and tenants now argue that the Village’s design decisions—such as a central dining hall that accepts USCards—and USC’s marketing choices and increased restaurant density undermined independent eateries on the property." - Farley Elliott
