$200 Million Federal City complex

NEW ORLEANS - The Algiers Development District Board has awarded Apogen TTechnologies Inc. of McLean, Va., a $46,000-consulting contract for the conversion of the Naval Support Activity base on the westbank area of Algiers in to a high-tech campus of military and federal tenants. David Mize, a retired Marine major general who works for Apogen's New Orleans office, will oversee the $200-million project known as Federal City. The U.S. Department of Defense recommended May 13, 2005, that NSA be shuttered. Mize led a successful fight to take the base off the list by promoting the idea of converting the base into a Federal City complex that could be leased to government tenants at low rents.

Federal City will consist of state-of-the-art buildings in Algiers for military
and other federal tenants with homeland security responsibilities, according to Apogen. The buildings will also have tight perimiter security and be built to
current hurricane standards. Because multiple tenants can split the overhead expenses of running the base, office space will be leased at low rents, Apogen said.
