This city doesn't like to force people to do things. See, all the gutted, vagrant houses still standing almost 15 years after Katrina.

Taking down the Hard Rock collapse might very well be a campaign promise in the next mayoral election

Then what makes you think this site will be cleared by the next mayoral election?

hope the hard rock sues Latoya Cantrell and the city of New Orleans into oblivion



Even if they won and got the most headline grabbing amount ever awarded by a jury— it would be knocked down on appeal

The city will pay $0.00 for this

That’s why when you license out your IP you make sure the people you’re licensing it to are reputable.

I'm hoping that smarter heads prevail, considering this is a huge project on a major city intersection, not a flooded out crack house in the east.

My understanding of this deal is that after construction, 1031 Canal was still going to own the building (or maybe they sell to another investor) but Hard Rock was going to completely run the show under a management services agreement.

In a typical hotel "flag" contract, you still have an operator who licenses the IP from the chain.

I think this was meant to be more than that. Hard Rock itself was going to lease the building and be the operator, probably on a triple-net lease.

So I don't think it's a licensing agreement per se.

Having said that, no doubt that Hard Rock got into bed with these clowns, a decision I am sure they regret.

That’s not the point. The city of New Orleans never pays out judgments against them.

was willing to give the city the benefit of the doubt for a long time. I still am to some extent, the city didn't cause the building to collapse. But the city damn sure needs to ramp up the pressure on these developers, or the city just needs to condemn the property and take it down.


I think it’s tentatively happening 4 weeks from this Saturday, currently.
