posted earlier in this thread, here is an update, along with handsome rendering.........

Hampton Inn & Suites will soon call Downtown home

Hampton Inn & Suites will soon establish a new $17 million - 137 room location on the corner of Lafayette Street and Main Street in Downtown Baton Rouge directly behind Kress at Third and Main.

The hotel being built by Winsor/Aughtry Co. and local developer Richard Preis will also include 930 square feet of meeting rooms, a fitness center, a board room seating 14, and a seating area over looking Main and Lafayette Streets. It will feature 36 suites and 42 rooms that have balconies.

The hotel will be the third major hotel to be built or renovated on Lafayette Street. The Hampton Inn along with Hotel Indigo, opening in February, join the Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center Hotel to create a lodging corridor along Lafayette Street.

The hotels offer easy access to our attractions and restaurants, as well as Capitol Park, the River Center, the Riverfront levee, and other related facilities/businesses in the Central Business District. Views of the Mississippi River will be available in many of the rooms.

The current timeline sets completion of the seven-story hotel for late 2012.

Electronic Arts Inc. (EA) broke ground on the 94,000-square-foot Louisiana Digital Media Center that eventually will be home to 600 video game development workers and LSU’s Center for Computation & Technology. EA, the video game company that produces titles like The Sims™, Madden NFL, reports this new building will house its' North American Test Center.

The $29.3 million project will result in a three-story structure on LSU’s main campus. LSU’s Center for Computation & Technology had long sought a contemporary, permanent home for its programs that drive academic and business research with high-performance computing. The state also sought a permanent home for the EA North American Test Center, which has been located on LSU’s South Campus since 2008 with nearly 400 workers, half of which are full-time employees. Both of these goals will be realized at the Louisiana Digital Media Center when it opens in 2012 on LSU’s main campus.

438 Main Street / CBD

Construction has started on 438 Main Street, a $4.7 million apartment building and is projected to be finished in about 10 months.

The property at 438 Main St. was purchased earlier this week from the Baton Rouge Area Foundation’s Commercial Properties Development Corp. after it tore down the former Brown building on the site.

Lafayette House / CBD

The team behind the renovation of the Tessier building on Lafayette Street downtown is planning a four-story, 16-unit condominium development on the lot behind the building.

Developers Dyke Nelson and David Weinstein told the Downtown Development District on Tuesday that the roughly $2 million Lafayette House will feature four single-bedroom units per floor at just over 600 square feet per unit.

The property will feature a courtyard surrounding the building and balconies that take advantage of the view.

Nelson noted that the design will use transparent materials to allow for more light and prevent visual obstruction.

The units, which will be $185,000 on the first two floors and $195,000 on the third, will have prearranged financing.

Construction is projected to begin this summer with the first residents moving in by the fall of 2013.

I'll have to tell you the truth, We love it here. We moved in Sept 2011 for work and fell in love with Lafayette and the people. New Orleans will always be "Home" but, this little town has much to offer and construction is booming....are you sure we're talking about the same place? to each, his own, as the old saying goes......

Mon Frere, I found your post when you were in La LA, you must have ben here in August and September.....yup that would be a bad time to visit, You have a good eye on the camera though i enjoyed the pics:
