First details emerge about Sidney Torres' large Bayou St. John Development:
http://midcitymessenger.com/2016/05/...city-planners/

382 proposed residential units on the five acre first phase. Seems like a reasonable amount of density there, with four-story buildings. However, I'm a bit disappointed that they are only proposing two small commercial spaces on two whole blocks in this area. They do say that the next phase - the plot closest to the Bayou will be more commercial - which seems backwards to me. Hopefully that portion will also include residential above commercial space.

The styling is a little backwards. I'm sure all the ye olde architectural details will be more dumbed-down than the rendering suggests. Site planning reminds me of Houston or Dallas apartment complexes, but not in a bad way. The scale is nice. I like the fact that the blocks are filled up with no surface parking lots, and all the courtyards are fully surrounded. The corner retail spots are nice too, it would be great to get a bike shop and a corner cafe here.

I don't mind a commercial focus on the river end of the site by the Bayou. That's really the premier location for bars, restaurants, etc where you can have a water view and tie into events like Bayou Boogaloo. I'm not sure how much retail makes sense here, most of the essentials are already in place along Carrollton.

If ever there was a spot for Trader Joes, this is a good one... fortunately they have small parking lots and being along the Greenway they will get plenty of people walking and biking to the store for a few things.

Def think the commercial should be more towards the bayou side. People are going to like to enjoy restaurantds and things on that end not just mid block with nothing to look at.

Description
This project involves the new construction of a steel framed boathouse at Southshore Harbor in New Orleans. The boathouse will be the home of a restored WWII-era PT boat owned by the National WWII Museum. The boathouse will be an open-air space with sliding doors on the long sides to open it up to exterior breezes. The boathouse will also be built below the FEMA base flood elevation (in order to serve its function as a boathouse) and the walls will therefore be built as “break-away” panels. See diagram on sheet 1.2 of attached drawings. This project includes no mechanical or plumbing systems and the electrical portions of the project are estimated to cost less than $15,000 therefor stamped electrical drawings are not included. See sheet E1 for more information on the limited electrical scope of work. This project is Phase 1 in a larger development called “Lakeshore Landing” seeking to reenergize Southshore Harbor over the coming years. Later phases will include renovation of the adjacent former Bally’s Casino building shown on sheet C1 and 1.10 of the attached drawings

I did it cause its definitely unique. Also, I wasnt successful in acquiring neighboring properties so figured I might as well build something for me since I wanted to live downtown but hate living with other people. Ive been in condos before and just dont like all the rules and bitchy neighbors. So this seemed like the best of both worlds. Plus the neighborhood was quickly changing so I figured its a good investment. Additionally, the city changed the zoning in my area prohibiting one and two family residents. So ill always be the only one there! Hence why I appliedto build this before the new CZO went into effect!


Guess Im a little bit like the house from UP!

So it looks like 1551 Canal was cleared to be built? If so, this is great news for the area!

I guess so. The main issue was the inclusion of street level commercial spaces which I def agree with the city on. So important to create street vibrancy.

Yes, it would be a tremendous loss to have a block that large on Canal Street with no retail, especially with all of the ongoing development in that area, plus I expect more will be on the way.

Regarding the Bayou St. John project, yes I agree there should be come restaurants/cafe's near the Bayou, but remember Torres' plot of land doesn't really border the bayou. Only a sliver of it even touches Jeff Davis Parkway, it mostly borders Conti and the Greenway. The article makes it seem like Torres is planning some larger type of retail - who knows what that means, but a grocery store or other non food and beverage outlets would be better on the plot away from the Bayou, because those will have more street access. The area near Conti and Jeff Davis already has pretty bad traffic at times - I don't think it's suited to intensive commercial use, especially with hundred of new residents in the area.

Well, this is really just a terrible and confusing intersection. Lakebound traffic suddenly gets dumped onto Hagan St unless you know to do a weird dogleg to stay on Jeff Davis. There's no stoplight. Etc.

Ideally the Torres project would realign the roads here a bit so it's more logical.
