Gotta say I really like that rendering! Of course the neighbors will probably be upset about that density

I ****REALLY*** love the look of this building. A lot a lot. I want some of this in Orleans Parish.

Also: waiting on pins and needles to see what is announced for Tulane Ave across from Crescent Club Apartments. Now that the buildings are cleared, the lot looks SO much bigger. Really, really hoping for some mixed-use (I wouldn't be opposed to have this Old Metairie style building there!!!!! )

dont get too excited about that tulane parcel.. i had seen plans for the larger building before which basically reused the steel frame however this was before the next door parcel became available.. either way im sure whats proposed there will be much better then whats there currently

The New Orleans Advocate building on St. Charles Avenue is a true architectural gem. Designed by modernist architects Curtis & Davis in the 1940’s, the building was originally home to the Klein Motors showroom. The renovated space, which features a restored facade, luminous lobby, and helical stairway, pays respects to its mid-century modern origins and gives new life to the building, allowing it to serve generations of journalists to come. Architect: Dalton Architects, Inc. #palmisanoprojects #historicrenovation

I lived in NO for years and probably passed the Advocate building a thousand times, and I never realized what an amazingly great-looking building it is. Mid-century modern was the rage when I was young, so to me this building is beautiful.

Nice NOLA article on the downtown condo market.

https://www.nola.com/expo/news/erry-...re-coming.html

By Jennifer Larino, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune
New Orleans is known for its historic housing stock, with its century-old shotguns, wrought iron railings and inviting porches. The latest wave of new housing, however, is sleek and modern, attracting buyers to the city's downtown with a skyline view, rooftop pools and dog runs, and shiny new storefronts.

"There's absolutely more going on now than there ever has been," said developer Matt Schwartz, whose company, The Domain Cos., started construction in July on The Odeon, a $106 million, 271-unit apartment building. Its latest completed development, an $80 million, 89-unit luxury condo building called The Standard, opened in April.

Downtown New Orleans has always been an evolving landscape. Lately, change is in overdrive. Roughly 200 new condo units will soon open up to buyers within a 12-block section of the Warehouse District. More condo buildings are in the works.

Experts say a mix of demand and available financing has fed the growth up to this point. Will it last? Probably not, though Schwartz and others plugged into the downtown real estate market say there are still buyers out there looking for the type of design-forward condos rising up on Warehouse District corners.

The new ferry terminal on Canal Street is poised for a vastly different makeover than the dramatic redesign presented by the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority in early 2017, according to preliminary design concepts unveiled Thursday (Dec. 13) to New Orleans City Council members.

The two new visual concepts both keep the existing pedestrian bridge crossing the railroad tracks between Canal Street and the downtown riverfront. The new proposals for the ferry building scrap the sloping metal roof originally designed and that some transit officials have described as complicated and expensive to pull off. The terminal serves ferries to Algiers.

this is what i found on city council website:

option 1













option 2












I prefer option 2.. the ramps just too much and defeats the whole purpose of opening the area up

I am in this area rather frequently and see absolutely no reason why an elevated crossing over the railroad tracks is needed.The trains take 5 min tops and run maybe twice a day. Unfortunately, because there is currently a bridge, Algiers residents won't have it any other way. What they do no understand is that any new crossing has to be ADA accessible and that means $$$$$$.

I prefer Option II, it preserves much of the old historic warehouse facade that fronts Spanish Plaza, while also opening up the riverfront. I've always admired those facades and was sad to see it on the chopping block in the previous scheme.

I agree with you for option 2
