Do you even Treo? It is the Cure equivalent of Freret Street. Tulane is going to be bustling in two years.

It's my dream to see everything in between the Tulane Ave. and the Pontchartrain Expwy -- all the way to Carrollton Ave. become a condo/apartment high rise residential district. Shopping, hotels, restaurants acceptable as well.


Are there any solidified plans for any commercial or residential developments along Tulane near the new UMC and VA?

With the work taking place on Tulane, along with the redevelopment of Canal (1031 Canal was approved recently, I believe...) and the South Market District, downtown New Orleans will almost be unrecognizable in ~5 years.

Amazingly enough, there were two or three higher end apartment/mixed use kind of deals built 2 or 3 years ago along Tulane and it shocked the shite out of me that they sold well. Give it just a little more time and alot more will be coming online.

Yeah, there are a few of your distant relatives hanging on Tulane, but we are talking about shite that is going on that is slowly making the place better.
Some people have the ability to think positively about the future and have the information available to them to know a few things.

I hope they plant trees on the neutral ground to help keep the hookers cool.

Unrecognizable is an understatement. This is what is going on in Downtown New Orleans right now.

1) Riverwalk - World's first major American downtown outlet mall opens next week
2) 8 story condo building under construction next door to Lucy's in the Warehouse District
3) South Market District - 700 apartments, retail, restaurants, shopping
4) Smoothie King Center - upgrades, new exterior, expanded team store, new ticket center
5) Iberville Projects - ongoing demolition, redevelopment into mixed income community with very strict rules for tenants
6) UMC and VA hospitals - 2 hospitals totaling over $2 billion in construction occupying 27 former city blocks
7) LSU Health Foundation - two more buildings on Tulane Ave. across from hospitals, but separate projects
8) Loyola/Baronne - Upwards of 1,000 apartments being created in previously abandoned buildings where these streets meet Tulane Ave/Common St.
9) Loyola Ave. Streetcar - complete
10) Orpheum Theater being refurbished, State Palace Theater under contract to be refurbished - both joining the Saenger and the Joy to revive New Orleans' theater district. When all theaters are complete, we will have more theater seats than Houston
11) 1031 Canal - New condo tower replacing two-story Woolworth's building that has sat abandoned for over 4 decades
12) Tracage - new condo tower in the Warehouse District
13) Continued expansion of World War II museum
14) Drury Inn - nearing completion of a doubling of the size of the existing hotel on Poydras St.
15) Multiple other smaller apartment/condo projects under construction now
16) Rampart - St. Claude Streetcar breaks ground this Fall

New Orleans hasn't remotely seen a boom like this since the 1970s.

And try getting hotel reservations, restaurant reservations(for a good place), or a ticket to the Saenger for a show on busy weekends.

It's all good right now.

The haters are coming out, I see. Biodistrict to Carrollton is about to blowup. It will mimic many other inner ring industrial/ghetto transformations that are taking place all over the country.

This is incredible.

The WTC redevelopment is ostensibly absent from this list, though. Did something fall through?

City said the redevelopment bid, which they had accepted last year, was undervaluing the worth of the WTC site. Or something along those lines.

Well damn that sucks. The city has been screwing around with the WTC issue for at least ten years and can't get crap done. I'm ready to let the Feds come take over the shite show
