New Orleans Bloggers, although excited about another new residential tower being built in the CBD, have shown little "enthusiasm" over the designs that has been released.

A sleek new apartment building is rising in the heart of the Central Business District, where its facade of glass and metal panels will join the office towers and hotels that dominate the downtown skyline.
Construction crews are driving pilings at the corner of Poydras and O'Keefe streets, and over the next few months they will erect a 21-story building with a parking garage on the first eight floors and 250 apartments stacked on top.

This design is definately inaccurate. Here are some official "floor plans" of the building and they don't match the rendering whatsoever. This project is underway and they are on the second story right now :
