Looks like the residential entrance is facing Rampart, and it has a carriage drive for dropoffs. There are also 2 street-level retail spaces on Rampart and on Iberville respectively, as well as the multi-level retail space facing Canal.
The multi-level space looks too small to land a department store as Kailas was hoping, but it may be big enough for a smaller store like H&M. It's also a very open, multi-level space, which seems to be H&M's preferred setup.
H&M in Atlanta and Chicago has big appeal to middle-class teens and 20-somethings across all races and ethnicities, so it should do fairly well in NOLA, unlike some other, more exclusive brands.
