That's an impressive list of projects there ! And all this posted in one day too !   I like the looks of them all !  Is the proposed Gabriel on undeveloped land ?  I did not know there was that much vacant land in Kenner. That's some serious $$cheez to live in one of those mansion's !
Great to see New Orleans coming back new and improved !

More renderings and models for Crescent City Residences. Formerly Plaza Tower.









Does anyone know how tall that spire will be? Because the listed height of the building will go up a bit with the addition of that spire.

The 25 story Vantage Tower was unanimously approved by the New Orleans City Council on April 25th.

Does anyone know when construction could start?

Yes, that one looks cool. I'm glad it was approved by the city council. The city council would be stupid to turn anything down.

On that subject, last time I was in New Orleans, I watched a city council meeting on TV and it was the most chaotic thing I'd ever seen. Those people all genuinely seemed to hate one another. It was a debacle, so to see them coming to unanimous decisions for positive projects is great.

Yea I really like this project, and I'm glad to see it got approved.

Yea, you basically just summed it all up right there.

That's crazy.

I've watched so many Shreveport City Council meetings, and from time to time their arguments can turn personal and people can get at one another. But for the first and only city council meeting I've watched in New Orleans to be as bad as it was, it was shocking.

That's New Orleans politics for you. Corruption and stupidity are two things that run rampant in New Orleans politics, and that is something that has to change under whoever the next mayor is if we want the city to rebuild stronger than it was before.

Good luck with that. As much as I want that for your city, I wouldn't hold my breath. The system, in general, ruins people.

Oh believe me I know. But things are already steadily improving, especially the public school system, and that alone is something to be happy about.

Thanks for posting this. It's a very much-needed project. Now is the time for change in New Orleans, so they might as well move forward with this.

And work on the project is coming along nicely on Canal, especially at the foot of Canal by Harrah's and Canal Place.
