That idea turned into a plan for a 33-acre development in St. George at the corner of Highland and Airline called “The Highline.” It’ll combine with another development next-door already in the beginning phases and one across the street, making it around 160 total acres. Davis calls it a Perkins Rowe 2.0.

It's still located Louisiana so does it really matter.

So, they’ll fabricate an actual high rail line like in NYC, then abandon it and turn it into a retail district? Such original thinking! And, forgot to add, there should be an existing rail line.

I assume they will be be raising it up.. Everything around it might be more likely to flood or maybe they design drainage that will help with that..

I wonder if their will be apartments like Perkin Rowe has?

That's a ton of retail and office. I mean good luck to him, I hope it's a very successful development, but I have my doubts.

Feel like there has to be some sort of residential component, a significant public amenity, or a signature tenant HQ to make it work.
