New Orleans Update
Miami Beach developer will begin construction on a new Riverview condominium project with on-site retail shops and cafes.
Downtown and French Quarter are a short ferry ride across the Mississippi River. Federal city government complex will be half a mile away. Federal City will employ approx. 10,000 civilians and US government employees which will create a high demand for rental housing in the area. aerial showing Algiers Crossing location opposite the CBD and French Quarter http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Aerial-Map.gif elevations of towers http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Elevation-.gif http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...sing-Pic-2.gif site plan showing location directly on the River http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...-Site-Plan.gif http://www.internationalrealestatetr...os-New-Orleans |
That's quite an interesting project right there and a really good one for Algiers especially that part of Algiers. I've got some family who live in Algiers and some not too far from where that project takes place. I'll have to make a call and ask if they know about it.

This project is going to be huge for Algiers. Blaine Kern (of Mardi Gras float fame) is moving his production faclities upriver a bit, and is a major financial partner in this project...as his land is involved. I think the entire project once complete is supposed to have around 1500 mixed-use apartments and condos.

The Crescent city definitely deserves a thread devoted to it here. It'll be interesting to see this city rebuild, with a new tallest on the way also.

Tamanend
A 1,400-home, 1.3-square-mile community, complete with a town center and a higher education campus north of Lacombe, was recommended for approval Tuesday night by the St. Tammany Parish Zoning Commission. The request by Weyerhaueser Real Estate Development Co. to rezone an 848-acre tract of timberland along Louisiana 434 from suburban agriculture to a planned unit development. The 110 acres along Louisiana 434 designated for a town center for stores, businesses and offices. That includes 22.5 acres which Weyerhaueser is making available to the parish for a higher education campus including a consortium of Southeastern Louisiana University, Delgado Community College and the University of New Orleans. The plans also include 4.5 acres which will be available to the parish school system. School officials said last month that they would like to build a high school for advanced studies in technology and the arts on the property. According to the plans, the multiphase development will include 1,401 homes in a mix of apartment units, loft homes above offices and businesses, townhouses, cluster and single-family homes, anchored by University Square, with 430,000 square feet of commercial/office space. About 290 acres of the community is designated as green space, including 230 acres of wetlands that will not be developed, Schoen said. Amenities include a swimming pool, clubhouse, a playground with two baseball fields, two soccer fields and tennis courts. Weyerhaeuser is also involved in some development of its own. Its subsidiary WREDCo [Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Development Company] is planning a project in St. Tammany Parish called Tamanend, an 848-acre mixed-use development anchored by University Square. That institution will provide campus space for the University of New Orleans, Delgado University, Southeastern Louisiana University, Louisiana Technical College and an advanced studies high school. Tamanend will consist of 1,401 residential units and 430,000 square feet of commercial/office space. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...2799&z=11&om=1 http://www.nola.com/news/t-p/metro/i...320.xml&coll=1 |
Absolut New Orleans
http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...neworleans.jpg July 18, 2007: New Flavor: Absolut New Orleans - Mango with Black Pepper On August 1 the new Absolut Vodka flavor will be available in limited edition and called ABSOLUT NEW ORLEANS. Absolut New Orleans is a limited edition one-off product that sports a taste of mango and a spicy kick, designed to evoke the flavor and vibrancy of the southern city. The bottle features an image of a harmonica, reflecting the musical culture that has defined the city, which, just under two years ago, was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. Absolut New Orleans vodka will be introduced Wednesday afternoon at Tales of the Cocktail, an annual New Orleans gathering of more than 10,000 cocktail drinkers, mixers and manufacturers. The vodka is a limited run of 35,000 cases - 3 1/2 times the company’s total U.S. sales in 1979. The product is in the tradition of Absolut’s old city-themed campaign–but in this case it’s not just about a city, but for it, as well. All profits from Absolut New Orleans will be put toward revitalization efforts throughout the Gulf region. Among the charities that will benefit are Habitat for Humanity, which is playing a key role in the region’s reconstruction, and the Louisiana Restaurant Association, which is helping local eateries bounce back and continue to provide the cuisine for which the area is so famous. http://www.neworleanscitybusiness.co...fm?recid=11753 |

Question: (catch me up...) as NO redevelops are there guidelines in place that require building to take into account potential flooding..... as in, does the first occupied floor of a building have to be at a certain height relative to sea level? ( I'm sure there is a better way to ask this.... hopefully someone understands the question! )
|
Yes...any new structure built in the floodplain has to adhere to the base flood elevations adopted by the city. These elevations directly adhere to the BFE's recommended by FEMA for flood insurance purposes.

Louisiana Cancer Center
LSU, Tulane, Xavier partner in new cancer center set to open 2010 After years of talking, planning and dreaming, the first steps have been taken toward building a cancer center that is designed to be nothing less than a scientific and economic mainstay of New Orleans' post-Katrina economy. "Test piles are going. Great things are happening," said Steven Moye, president of the organization behind the Louisiana Cancer Research Center at Tulane and South Claiborne avenues. The health sciences centers of Louisiana State and Tulane universities, as well as Xavier University, are partners in the project, which is envisioned as a center for treatment, teaching and research as well as an economic engine for the city's renaissance. The 10-story building will have about 175,000 square feet of work space, Moye said, and about 300 people are expected to be employed there when the center opens in 2010. http://blog.nola.com/times-picayune/...enter_set.html link to architect showing renderings, go to research then to La Cancer Ctr: http://www.hillier.com/portfolio/ |

I just came back from New Orleans this past weekend; sorry I didn’t take any pictures. I did however want to talk about the city. I really did not know what to expect when I first arrived. To my surprise I found a city very much alive. There were people all over the place. Granted I was staying off Canal, but on the drive thru from I-10 things were for the most part open. I know I did not go to the lower 9th ward, but there is defiantly a lot of progress in all the areas that I saw.
I did go to the Voodoo Music festival; it was located at New Orleans Park, which is located north of Downtown. The drive to the venue was very nice, and the neighbor hoods in that area have that very much southern charm to them. On the way over the Cab Driver said that all that area was under water as well. It’s amazing to see how far the city has come along. Overall I was greatly pleased with the city. It’s a whole other world out there, definitely one worth checking out... P.S. I did get to see one of my favorite DJ's - Tiesto-. It was interesting seeing the Smashing Pumpkins play for 2 hours and then right after they were over walk across the field to see a DJ perform sound good trance... :yes: |
Glad you had fun at Voodoo Fest, and got to explore some of the city outside of the French Quarter.

Historic Carousel returns to New Orleans City Park
New Orleans City Park has reopened its historic carousel. For the first time since Hurricane Katrina folks can ride the attraction that is more than a century old. Officials say since 1906 little kids and kids at heart have enjoyed the "flying horses" of City Park's antique carousel. That was taken away after flood waters covered City Park. The ride is one of only a hundred antique wooden carousels in the country and the last one in Louisiana. |

Brad Pitt's N.O. housing efforts have Lower 9th Ward in the pink
Actor Brad Pitt is scheduled to announce plans to create more than 100 affordable, ecologically sound homes in the Lower 9th Ward. This weekend, big pink houses were installed in the flood-ravaged neighorhood as symbolic stand-ins for those homes. Ivory Porter Webb was first perplexed, then giddy with excitement, on Saturday afternoon, just before dusk. As she drove across the Claiborne Avenue bridge over the Industrial Canal, she noticed something peculiar. A few blocks in the Lower 9th Ward, along the levee from North Derbigny to North Galvez streets, were studded with odd, very large pink blocks, as big as houses, 100 or more of them, with pink roof shapes lying beside them on empty lots. photo/story courtesy of NOTimes Picayune> http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...large_Pitt.jpg http://blog.nola.com/living/2007/12/..._pink_hou.html |

National WWII Museum
The National World War II Museum in New Orleans said today it has awarded a $42 million construction contract for the next phase of the museum’s $300 million expansion. Within weeks, builder Satterfield and Pontikes Construction Group will begin work on a 250-seat advanced-format theater that will feature 4-D multisensory experiences and dimensional sound in a cinematic presentation, “Beyond All Boundaries,” for which actor Tom Hanks will serve as executive producer. Opening in mid-2009 across the street from the existing museum, the theater will be the first of six new pavilions, with the entire project due to be completed in 2014. Another audio-visual presentation will deliver “The USO Experience.” Founded by the late UNO historian Stephen Ambrose, the 7-year-old museum is expected to draw nearly 700,000 visitors a year after the expansion. Private, federal and state funds are paying for the $300 million project. Related improvements to bury electrical wires along Magazine Street and add new brick sidewalks, historic lampposts and lighted street trees are under way. weblink with renderings:http://www.ddaymuseum.org/about/expansion.html |
NASA Michoud: Research and Development Building
NEW ORLEANS -- Construction officially began Tuesday on a $40 million office and research building at the NASA Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. The state is paying for the 120,000 square-foot building, which is officially part of the University of New Orleans. Officials at Tuesday's groundbreaking called it a symbol of the state commmitment that helped to keep NASA in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. "Just two years ago, many people would have thought that today would be impossible," said Robert Lightfoot, deputy director of the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. Two years ago, New Orleans was still drying out after Hurricane Katrina, which hit Aug. 29, 2005. But the 832-acre Michoud site in eastern New Orleans never flooded: its levees held, and 36 workers stayed through the storm and kept the compound's pumps going. UNO Chancellor Tim Ryan said several people have told him that dedication not only kept the shuttle tank work at Michoud but played a major part in bringing work on the next moon rockets. The space shuttle work, which keeps about 2,500 people employed at Michoud, is scheduled to end in 2010. In the meantime, work will start toward switching to assembling parts of the next set of moon rockets - the Ares I, which will launch astronauts, and Ares V, a cargo rocket. The facility also made the first stages of the Saturn rockets for the Apollo manned space program in the 1960s. "Since Apollo, every astronaut who's flown has flown on hardware built here in Louisiana," Lightfoot said. He quoted Dave Scott, commander of Apollo 15, when he walked on the moon in 1971: "There's a fundamental truth to our nature: Man must explore." He continued, "Today is the next step on this long journey of exploration." The state also put up $20 million for the National Center for Advanced Manufacturing, which also is officially part of UNO. Louisiana's total commitment will total $102 million, said Gov. Kathleen Blanco and outgoing economic development Secretary Michael Olivier. He didn't detail the remainder; Lightfoot said it includes $40 million to retool for the bigger rocket stages needed by the Ares program, and $2 million set aside for planning, economic development and education. What it boils down to, Blanco said, is that "Louisiana will continue to have a hands-on role in continuing the next level of space exploration." |

Stephens Garage Lofts
Warehouse District apartment dwellers will soon be able to enjoy a creature comfort of suburbia — home-side parking — thanks to a $32-million residential conversion of the old Stephens Garage at 840 Carondelet St. The project will include indoor parking spaces within steps of each of the four-story building’s 65 loft-style apartments. The luxury apartment building will be called The Garage, said developer Marcel Wisznia, who plans to begin construction this summer. Tenants will be able to come home to the building’s apartment-side parking spots using two remote control-operated car elevators capable of moving 200 feet per minute. One press of a button will lift cars from the building’s cast-concrete, modernist-influenced entrance near Julia Street to the desired loft level. http://www.djcgulfcoast.com/item.cfm?recID=11621 |
Summit Fremaux
Located along I-10 between the OST (Old Spanish Trail) and the new Fremaux Rd. exits, The Summit Fremaux, the $900 million, 400 acre development by the Bayer Properties, of Birmingham, Ala., should break ground in early May. Retail businesses, which will dominate the area closest to Fremaux and I-10, will comprise two department stores, including a Dillard's; two other anchor stores; and numerous national specialty stores, said Jeffrey Bayer, a principal with the company and its founder. The site also will contain a movie theater, a 150-room hotel, several restaurants and 300 apartments, and as the development continues to unfold, the residential units eventually will number as many as 1,300, Bayer said. Bayer, who has built similar Summit developments in Birmingham, Ala.; Reno, Nev.; and Louisville, Ky., said the complex will prove to be an entire community within a larger metropolitan area. Since it opened in 1997, the company's flagship property in Birmingham has become that capital city's largest source of sales tax revenue, said Mickey Gee, a marketing professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and local retail expert. He said Bayer Properties is a first-class company with the ability to attract top-notch retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue. When complete, the center is expected to contain 1 million square feet of retail space for stores and restaurants, 500,000 square feet of medical facilities and up to 325,000 square feet of commercial office space, in addition to the 1,300 single and multifamily homes. The site also will house the 350,000-square-foot UNO Research and Technology Park, as Levis has donated 25 acres near Fremaux for the project. The park would be similar to that already on the New Orleans lakefront, though plans for the Slidell facility include classes focusing on technological issues for future job needs at Stennis Space Center in nearby Hancock County, Miss., and at NASA Michoud Assembly Center in eastern New Orleans. the story http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2...tial_comp.html pdf project link http://www.bayerproperties.com/files...chbook2008.pdf |
