An acquaintance's family business owns all the Grand Bohemian Hotels and the Savannah power plant revitalization. I asked him about this and it was all he could do not to bust out laughing in my face. The Savannah project was $400mm+ he said this would be a billion dollar nightmare.

I have to think that a total teardown and remediation is in the future.

Up against the river that you can't work around for 3-6 months a year is going to make it a nightmare.

Maybe, just maybe, they eventually get to rebuild the river pier that was burnt down and make the river visable.

I’ve been several times and they did a helluva job. Cost comparison’s interesting tho, did he provide specifics other than inflationary costs?

Just a a quick Google search but Savannah’s development was 670,000 sq ft compared to Nola’s plant which stands at 160,000 sq ft.

Savannah also has a connecting 400+ room JW Marriott hotel which I highly doubt is included with the Nola project since they’re planning to build a flagship hotel (600+ room) that’ll connect to the convention center.
