The Meadows at Nicholson, a 204-unit development at 11777 Nicholson Drive, is under construction and should open in the summer.


So much for the water campus and other construction hopefully gentrifying that shithole corridor.

ETA: It’s by Gardere. Still a shithole that’ll never gentrify.

Developing that area never made any sense to begin with, imo. The Gardere ghetto is right there as is the stink from the massive wastewater plant. Plus, you're talking about the lowest elevation area in the whole parish with the flood basin around Bayou Manchac. I don't understand why anyone ever thought that would be a good location to gentrify, let alone put a resort/casino.

Any hope L'Auberge had of further developing that area has been lost.

Everyone knew that L'Auberge being built was going to turn that area into exactly what it is becoming.

Isn't there an upscale housing development right by the casino on River Road?

Yep. Overpriced and struggling to sell from what I’ve heard.

Rent subsidized


Polite code for "Section 8".

I'm going to be generous and give it 6 months before they have their first shooting.
