14 New Orleans Condo and Apartment Projects to Watch

225 State Street
Developer Jim MacPhaile wants to demolish the row of 70 "Metairie-style" brick apartments at State, Tchoupitoulas and Front Streets in Uptown to build a 50-foot-tall building with between 40 and 48 condos and underground parking. The City Planning Commission rejected the plan, but the City Council unanimously voted in favor for it on Nov. 20.
St. Charles Avenue Condos
The Historic District Landmark Commission and the City Planning Commission gave Phyllis Landrieu, Mayor Mitch's aunt, permission to demolish two ranch-style homes — including her home — to build a 10-unit condominium building in the 2400 block of St. Charles Ave. The City Council upheld the decisions at the Oct. 15 meeting.
Parkway Apartments
Developer Denzel Clark's project, located next to the Blue Plate Artist Lofts, will include 207 residential units and 15,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. Construction should begin in the first quarter of 2016 and conclude within a year. The City Planning Commission OK'd the project Oct. 27 and City Council approved it Nov. 19.
Via Latrobe
Sean Cumming’s new Bywater project includes apartments, artist studios, retail space and an urban farm. The project got the City Planning Commission's OK Oct. 27, and City Council approved the project Nov. 19 for 260 units and 23,000 square feet of commercial space and artist studios.
MK RED Bywater Condos
The developers have planned a 55-foot, $8 million, 16-unit condo building with retail space near the Piety Street bridge into Crescent Park. The duo is currently tweaking the plans with the Historic District Landmarks Commission.
Bakers Row
Another MK RED project, this is a planned $3.2 million, eight-unit condo complex at the former Hubig's Pie factory site. In August, MK RED posted on Facebook that they would give an update on the project “as we get closer to breaking ground.”
Oak Lofts
Construction on the four-story, 14,000 square-foot development that will include 20 condos and a gym began in July. M2 Studio said at the time that construction should take about 10 months and move-ins could begin as early as spring of next year.

Ryan Gootee, Jason Hemel and Richard Roth III bought the long-abandoned school building in the 1200 block of Louisiana Avenue for $960,000 in October, and Peter Trapolin is the architect on the project.
