Twin residential towers, both 25 stories, and a new to market 18 floor hotel. 1200+ car parking garage. Lower level retail with full size grocery store and one two story nationa...

At one time, Drew Brees and a couple other NFL players had a proposal for the closed Six Flags in New Orleans that included learning centers and a farm that teaches about urban farming. Maybe those silos are for something like that.

If they would have come up with a high density plan with no surface parking lots and many more tall buildings, then a lot of you would be complaining that they should have built them downtown instead. If you’re so against surface parking lots, maybe you should boycott all businesses that have them.
