Project Spotlight: Bringing New Life to Historic New Orleans Warehouse District Building
GOAT began working with investment, development, and management company The Feil Organization in 2022 on a redevelopment project in New Orleans’ Warehouse District. The historic office building at 814 Howard was soon set to become four high-end residential units*.
The funky little building has a unique street presence on Howard Avenue and will be a welcome re-addition to the streetscape that has recently become much more vibrant with the opening of the Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience next door and the New Orleans Culinary & Hospitality Institute (NOCHI) across the street.
The new life of the building will embrace some of its most interesting historic elements including uncovered masonry walls and exposed original timber framing that establish the foundation of the interior palette. The new finishes provide a simple, contemporary contrast and allow the existing elements to shine.
One of the four units has a distinctive ornate fireplace and coffered millwork ceilings that existed prior to the redevelopment.
Each of the three ground floor units were designed with access to an internal garden courtyard that will give residents semi-private leisure space and allow daylight to penetrate the entirety of the interior.
Head to the project page for all of the photos and floorplans.
*All four units are currently pre leasing as of March 2023.
