The lead developer of the Hard Rock Hotel, which collapsed while under construction in 2019, has begun construction on a major new project in a former downtown office building two blocks from the site of the fatal disaster.

Mohan Kailas and his partners in the new venture are planning to turn the 31-story skyscraper at 1010 Common Street into a mixed-use complex with two hotels, including a 250-room Fairmont Hotel with a rooftop pool.

The project, which will cost more than $90 million, will also include an extended stay Element Hotel and six floors of office space.

The ambitious conversion, which is expected to be completed by the time New Orleans plays host to the Super Bowl in February 2025, will mark the return of the Fairmont brand to the Crescent City. The luxury flag last flew at 1010 Common’s neighbor, now known as the Roosevelt Hotel, from 1965 to 2005.

The new Fairmont will occupy a dozen or so floors near the top of the building, according to construction documents. The hotel will include 250 luxury rooms, more than 20,000 square feet of event space, a full-service spa and multiple full-service food and beverage venues, including a rooftop pool and speakeasy bar overlooking downtown.

ain't no dang way

I understand they want the job done right away.









Whoever gets it will have to give the project “ legs “.

So this guy, who is a clown and known to hire low price over quality, gonna do a complete retrofit of a building into two hotels and apartments and retail / office, all in a year's time in order to be open for the Super Bowl next year?

This is going to be an epic disaster. LOL at the Fairmont... they gonna be real upset when they see the crap they will end up with.

Fairmont partnering with a t-shirt shop king. They get what they deserve.
