New buildings since 1995

From Bloomingpedia

Bloomington has seen unprecedented growth in the past 15 years. With more than 90 new buildings created in the past 10 years alone, new buildings have been going up at rate of literally one per month, if not more. Much of the construction downtown has focused on new apartment buildings. Many of them aimed at college students looking for higher end apartments. After 2000, it was common to hear of students paying $3000/month for an apartment and some even paid for the whole year up front.

New buildings in Monroe County, not including single unit residential. As of now this list is incomplete. The idea is to find the buildings, figure out a name for them and provide them with articles.
