Great news, can't wait to see the 38-story tower built!!! Nice location.

[nola17]

I think the new orleans centre wont be apart of the project. meanwhile the dominion tower is suppose to be turned into luxury apartments.

Hopefully they will buldozed the crappy new orleans centre.

But, i wont mind renting one of those apartment if the development goes through!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish everything would have followed through the way that they wanted it to but, I guess that's just business. I can wait to see the new Trump tower though .

One of the three new signs up on the parking lot along Poydras @ Camp, the future site of Trump Tower.

One other thing that I wish that New Orleans can get is a fox sports grill the ones in Atlanta and Houston are nice, and the food is amazing.

Great shot Nate, they new camera is very impressive The detail in the Trump condo sign is remarkable.

Never had the food; but saw the inside in Houston and was impressed. FoxSports Grill would be a nice fit with NOLA's sports venues.

Personall i think that all of the city and goverment buildings set to be razed for the jazz park should relocare to brand new buildings on the iberville housing development.

It would create a sort of civic district anchored by new goverment buildings

Haven't heard any updates on the Slidell project recently Sgray.

Thx SlidellWX.

Looks like there might be some site preparation work being done at 930 Poydras (corner of O'Keefe and Poydras). I'm expecting that to be a handsome building.

[tennis1400]

Yes, I am too. The architectural firm hired does really great work and from the description of the tower, it seems to be rather slender. Also, its always great to see surface parking lots put to better use. Ice House condos will be getting rid of a huge lot too. These rentals should go up quicker since they dont have to meet an amount of sales to start.

I also believe that the Vantage project is all but dead. He raised the prices and I dont think that building's design, location and overall placement is very nice to be honest.

So as of right now. We can basically declare the Tracage and this apartment tower on the corner of Okeefe and Poydras as under construction. Anyone know the timetable on the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Ice HOuse Condos?

I thought the Vantage project was a definate go. They have a sign with a picture of the future building up at the designated construction site, as does Trump, and their web site is still up.

I question the location of the Tracage project.

[nola17]

I got an email from vantage tower about 2 or 3 months ago that said they are close to selling out the penthouse area and said that construction could begin sometime before may.

What's the status of Crescent City Towers? I believe their web site says you can move in in '08 but I see no activity.

[nola17]

I passed around that area in june of last year. And i think they were still gutting the building because they had 4 large dumpsters outside

[tennis1400]

I think the Tracage is a great location, and the bridge wont be a problem. Well I hope Vantage goes through. I still have no clue what is going on with the Crescent City Residences or Trump Tower. Hope they all go through.

It will be great to see work on this massive expansion begin, and it's something I'm looking forward to seeing in the future. Here is a rendering of the expansion of the National World War II Museum, formerly the DDay Museuem.

NCB, I don't think your rendering of the WWII museum came through. I read the article in the Times Pic and the expansion of the museum is very impressive. It's going to be across the street from the existing building connected by a pedestrian bridge.

There is a hideous high rise building that has long been neglected on the lake side of Canal 2 blocks from Claiborne that has a lot of construction going on in it. It looks like it's being gutted. Does anyone know what its being transformed into?

Sorry about that, thanks for letting me know! I put the link in the post, and it should be up now.

I think you are talking about the Old Texaco Building on Canal Street. I seem to remember something about a hotel or condos. I think its the same people as Krause.

The Trump project is not new news but I knew nothing about the other project. 4 to 5 40 story buildings, that's impressive! I couldn't find anything out there on St. Louis Towers. Are you an Emporis member?

I assume you're a tennis player. Do you have a NTRP rating?

[tennis1400]

This isnt really new proposals. i was just letting you know that the contracts for construction have gone out to bid, that is always a good thing. Mean these projects are progressing. The project I posted second is I believe the one that would be by the Munincipal Auditorium on top of the Winn Dixie there. Seems to fit what was proposed months ago.

Ok now that i reread the bid it is actually for the Project proposed last spring for the New Orleans Lakefront. I specifically remember that water park. Sorry I got them confused!!
