From over a block away on River Road.....older pic of the 525 Lafayette Street condo's at the IBM block...the LaSalle State bldg(right)  behind it almost blends in

Nice pic. The framing and angle make it look like a big city.

[richyb83]

The Glass + sand colored exterior is nice looking on the IBM office building....maybe one day they can keep up that look & stack  Three or Four more on top just like it somewhere on Fourth Street

BELVEDERE Luxury Townhomes completing the IBM Block...there is a very small unbuilt space far bottom right at the Main Street/Lafayette Street intersection

First time I can say I agree with the comment section. But corporate welfare has gotten completely out of control. The IBM building in Boulder is practically empty and falling apart.

Lol! Falling apart?

Lol! Falling apart? 

It's an old building, gates break, dirty, dusty, multiple parts have been leased out to other companies, the parking lots could hold maybe 2500 cars, most you will see is a few hundred.

Home of the Univ. of Colorado Buffalos!  Downtown area looks cool on Google Earth.

IBM committed to Baton Rouge despite customer contact center decision

Has IBM met its hiring goals in Baton Rouge as part of Louisiana's major incentive package?

Batch 13 moving to downtown Baton Rouge

Batch 13 Biscuit & Bowls, a fast-casual concept launched by Al Copeland Investments in 2017, will be moving from Essen Lane into the space previously occupied by Another Broken Egg in the IBM building in downtown Baton Rouge. 

The restaurant is set to open in February, though the official opening date of the new location and the closing of the one on Essen Lane have not been set

I tried there "bonuts", which are essentially beignets. They're really good.

[richyb83]

That's cool Dan!  Glad  you got to enjoy it Hoping the new Batch 13 will be able to bounce back!

The IBM Complex looks cool  from  Port Allen side....like the way the State Buildings blend in

525Lafayette(right)   is a nice looking  Mid-rise residential along the riverfront.  But BR needs a "true" high rise 20+ story Residential Tower...

The failed proposed River Place would be in front of the Hampton Inn (right)

The river is still high; but slowly going down

Window blinds blocking most of the light on the upper floors

I was just back home for a few days and the skyline looks noticeably denser with the addition of these mid-rise apartments. No we need to ban garden style offices and force them downtown!
