Architect Developer Flipping the CBD

You have seen these buildings many times, driven past them, and will recognize them from their facades.  However, what was once there is no more.  They were offices, part of the economic fabric of New Orleans, home to businesses which made up the business engine of the CBD. 

Now they are part of a new fabric, nice 2000 thread count fabrics to be exact, which are going into new their new home, which are actually homes.  The conversion of these buildings to residential represents the continuation of a trend that has been underway for several years.  But these properties in particular demonstrate what the early developments predicted, which is the second generation of residential conversion of the New Orleans downtown. 

To witness this transformation is truly inspiring, and this interview will show you why.
