Will the area by Tigerland ever be nice again?

Its still BR, so no.

Yes, once investors buy up and raze all of the apartments and redevelop the area.

What's the address of the properties you're looking at? I'll give you a thumbs up or down.

Why does it need to be redeveloped with all the new housing being built elsewhere around campus? Someone would have to put a shitload of money into redeveloping that area. It will likely get worse as it spreads down Brightside

St. George will have a big beautiful wall.

Too many undeveloped properties near campus to start the process of gentrification. At some point, developers will deem open land too far from campus, and will look back at the older properties.

You'd have to bulldoze every building from Bob Pettit to Brightside. It will take a while to eliminate the trash from the area.

That area is done. It is supply & demand. There is way too much "supply" of much newer apartments in the area. I actually expect some of the older "nicer" apartments to take a dive as well in the next few years.

That area is quickly turning into the area by Splash and co.

The main concern I could see is flooding potential for new developments forcing them to reconsider fixing old properties.

Doesn’t even necessarily have to be a high chance of flooding to force that. There is a multi-story apartment building on Stanford by the LSU Lakes that was condemned after TS Allison in the late 90s, IIRC, because the first floor flooded badly due to sustained rains and the area couldn’t drain fast enough.


If flooding puts their investment in enough risk, torching a few buildings in Tigerland then rebuilding from the ashes sounds more feasible.
