× Expand Mark Clear Imperial Garden at 2039 Allen Blvd in Middleton. The Middleton Chinese restaurant Imperial Garden and an adjacent Asian grocery store would be razed if a plan to construct a 195-unit mixed use housing development along University Avenue proceeds. Tom Sanford, owner of Sanford Enterprises Inc., tells Isthmus that the property is owned by Henry Chen — Imperial Garden and Garden Asian Market, the grocery store, are renters. A market study will determine “whether any units can be condominiums to be purchased or just apartments,” Sanford wrote in the application. An attempt to reach Garden Asian Market over the phone was unsuccessful.
