Developers in New Orleans have broken ground on the restoration of a 107-year-old historic building for conversion into a mixed-use property.
The $18.6M project involves the remodeling and restoration of a vacant 130,000 sq ft, 8-story building in the city's Central Business District. When completed, the Pythian will house 69 apartments, including workforce and luxury units. The remaining bottom level floors will be converted into 20,000 sq ft of sub-dividable floor space with a fresh food market, a federally-qualified healthcare clinic and non-profit office space. Contractors will also build a rooftop deck for residents.
