Mentioned in another thread.

Shell will relocate the headquarters of its Gulf of Mexico operations from its longtime home on Poydras Street to a new mid-rise building in the planned River District neighborhood, a move that will keep hundreds of high-paying jobs in New Orleans and add a major corporate tenant to the new development.

During a news conference Thursday, local officials from the London-based energy giant said they have leased a custom-designed office building in the development upriver of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. When the building is completed in late 2024 or early 2025, Shell’s 800 local employees will relocate there from the Hancock Whitney Center, the skyscraper that has housed Shell’s local operations since 1972 and until recently was known as One Shell Square.

Wouldn't have happened without Latoya putting in work.


Y'all should lay off her and admit she knows how to work hard and play hard.

This will be a major upset to many on this board who are dying for NOLA to lose business.

As discussed in the other thread, this is big for the city. That piece of land has been long overdue for something like this.

And while the area around there has come a long ways in gentrification in the last 10 years, this should really help with the little blocks around that still have the turd old family houses and section 8.
The projects(as they will always be known to me) aren't really an issue. They seem to keep them up well and kick out troublemakers.

Actually insane how that one area if done right can bring a more modern feel to NOLA.

This is great news and makes me optimistic the River District development will be successful. Saulet Apartments, Urban South Brewery and other local business owners should be ecstatic. They definitely need to think about the freeway access. I already usually avoid the Tchoup exit when I am going down there, just because it always seems to randomly back up.

Been there many times for meetings. Never took a vehicle to lunch. Dozens of great restaurants within an 8-10 minute walk. What a shame.

Sucks for restaurants around there.
