HNTB, a national engineering firm, plans to move its Baton Rouge offices from Perkins Rowe into the II Rivermark Centre office building.
HNTB will take up about 9,200 square feet on the 12th floor of the office building at 450 Laurel St., which had been known as the Chase North Tower.

Oh wait...this might have something to do with it:

Could be just cheaper rent, nothing to do with politics.

We were just talking about them with the storm water stuff

What then might that have to do with it?

Let them fight downtown traffic

Someone just told me beliefs in conspiracy theories haven’t increased.

If it was the other way you would immediately blame politics… be honest
You start off with a "could be" then end with definite in "nothing to do with politics".... So you don't know why do you?

Is downtown more congested than Bluebonnet or Perkins?
Theories aside....there is a shortage of office space suitable for this kind of business in Baton Rouge and New Orleans since they started converting older office buildings into apartments in both cities.
You have a lot of availability for smaller offices - 3000 square feet for lease here, 2500 square feet there....but 10,000 square feet on the same floor is harder to come by.

Is “St. George” actually still a thing?

They are both in a weird place. Not enough demand for a bunch of speculative office towers, but not enough space to prevent larger firms from just going with the owner-occupied route in a suburban office location.

A business elects to move into the Central Business District. How odd. This is clearly due to some grand conspiracy.

They seem to be correct in that belief.
When the old CTs are proven true, they are no longer CTs and are replaced with new CTs.

But they are moving into the Chase Towers... those places are shite.
Windows leak bad when it rains. Feels like you are in a dungeon.

Perkins Rowe rent is high. I’ve worked in a Perkins Rowe office a long time back. Management was always complaining about the rents.

Cheaper rent, closer to the clients.
