Raveen Arora doesn’t need a researcher to tell him that development along Apache Boulevard has been a success in the wake of light rail’s opening last year.
Arora has owned India Plaza, near Apache and McClintock Drive, since 2002. Since light rail’s opening in December, Arora has seen his business increase by nearly 10 percent despite the recession.
He attributes much of the increase to the residential projects that have opened on Apache in the past year and to the light-rail commuters who have spotted his shopping center and decided to stop by for Indian food or groceries.
The area has experienced a major makeover since the days it was known to draw prostitution and nightly police sirens, he said.
