Any new news on this? Or on that mid-city development that Winn Dixie is involved in? I thought maybe we could keep this thread going and discuss developments around the city. Glad to see the Canal St development was approved.
Market Street power plant site still may reel in Bass Pro Shop said:But fortunes could be turning for the iconic building with two smokestacks just upriver from the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. On Monday, Bankruptcy Judge Elizabeth Magner told the company it needed to file a reorganization plan by the end of this month, a key step in emerging from bankruptcy.
Emerging from bankruptcy, lining up financing...this sounds like a mess with no end in sight, but the article is fairly optimistic. Is all that less problematic than it sounds?Market Street power plant site still may reel in Bass Pro Shop said:The company faces big hurdles in the coming months with filing the plan, getting other stakeholders to approve it and lining up financing for its visions. If the redevelopment succeeds, it could give a lift to real estate development efforts in the area. If it fails, it could lose the building and have to convert the bankruptcy to a liquidation.
Don't forget this little tidbit from the same article......
Ullian said that Bass Pro "is still circling around" the 500,000 square foot power plant, and is "one of several" potential anchor tenants under consideration.
BUT......
Bass Pro spokesman Larry Whiteley said he knew nothing about the possibility and probably would have been notified if a letter of intent had been signed.
Sounds to me like Bass Pro has no commitment to the area......
IMO, BPS would be better suited as the anchor tennant at the proposed retail site of the former Jazzland/6 flags.
They do seem to like to build them in the middle of nowhere.
Just after Thursday's auction at Orleans Civil District Court, Jaeger said he has no immediate plans to redevelop the site because his first priority is helping the so-called Trade District materialize. That proposal for the 47 acres between the Ernest N. Morial New Orleans Convention Center and the power plant includes a 1,200-room hotel as the centerpiece of a development with 1,400 residential units, stores, restaurants, entertainment venues and tourist attractions.

This is a great compilation of all the development planned for the riverfront from the Bywater to the Warehouse District.
Has anyone heard anything about this area moving forward? I thought I remember hearing that this was going to be developed along with plan for the Four Seasons, but I can't find where I saw that....could be that I'm remembering a conversation. At any rate, anyone know what's going with this area?
