JWR Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 A $60 million mixed-use downtown development adds to New Orleans' dwindling stock of apartments Saturday, August 13, 2005By Greg ThomasReal estate writer HRI Properties said Friday it plans to build a $60 million apartment-condo complex that would be the largest residential construction project in the history of the Warehouse District. The 10-story development, to be dubbed The IceHouse Residences, will have 221 apartments and 105 condominiums. The project also includes construction of a separate six-story garage with 509 parking spaces and 1,500 square feet of retail space. The project would encompass most of the block bounded by Andrew Higgins Boulevard, Poeyfarre, Constance and Annunciation streets. The site once housed the Ice House Cold Storage Co., which burned to the ground in the late-1980s. http://www.nola.com/business/t-p/index.ssf...13275232310.xml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWR Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 It really breaks my heart to see such a beautiful surface parking lot being replaced by progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YakuzaIce Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 It looks pretty good, not flashy, but still not bland. Also good for New Orleans for filling another surface parking lot. ROFLMAO at your comment above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjb434 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 That's going to be just walking distance from? Everything! That's New Orleans.The new WWII museum next to the D-Day Museum will be just around the block too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
