That's such an eyesore lot, would be great for something there to finish that intersection

Wonder if it's going to be one of Ochsner's new community health centers they just announced. They do already have a facility within that outlined parcel just next to the old Rite Aid building. https://www.wwltv.com/article/news/h...0-62ecf671fa74

LSU Health New Orleans broke ground Friday on a long-planned student housing complex in Mid-City, which will be LSU's first newly-built student accommodation in New Orleans for more than half a century.

The $100 million apartment complex, which is being built on a plot about a half-mile from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on the corner of South Johnson and Perdido streets, is expected to be completed in time for fall term in 2022, about a year later than originally planned.

“We are so pleased to break ground on this 579-bed student housing facility because it will immeasurably improve the quality of life for our students who live on campus," said Larry Hollier, Chancellor of LSU Health.

The new building has been a long-standing aim for LSU faculty looking to enhance life on the downtown health sciences campus and provide alternatives for students who have faced rising rents in the city.

About 3,800 students are enrolled in LSU’s six local health sciences schools, including medicine, nursing, dentistry and public health. The only student housing currently available now is in the old 1960s dorms on Perdido Street by Interstate 10.

Seems like theres presentations tomorrow from the final three bids for the convention center district proposal. Wonder if they'll choose a winner straight afterwards?

Glad to see they are moving forward with this. COVID won't last forever, and the tradeshows/conventions will eventually return. Unfortunately, it won't be in time for the annual meeting of my professional society originally scheduled for the convention center in January. It's gone all virtual, and it will not be the same. I was looking forward to connecting with old colleagues face to face again, and to show off New Orleans. C'est la vie.

The Chloe Hotel... Went there this weekend and its definitely worth checking out. The pool looks awesome and the design inside is very ambitious.

Nice to see the city break ground on the ferry terminal, that should really help out the area right there with the four seasons, and make the terminal actually functional and attractive

Is there anything planned for Spanish Plaza besides the Copelands and the Rizzutos?

Those are the only two in the plaza itself but I think thats plenty for the size of the space. Mainly nice to see better designed buildings.. did look like there was some sort of Beer Garden Thing planned as well

Oh, didn’t realize they were building new. I was afraid they were just reusing what was already there. Are the plans available online somewhere?
