Project Goals

• First - to provide affordable housing for city workers and other residents, while revitalizing the downtown Baton Rouge area. This housing would appeal to young workers between 20 and 30 years old who prefer an active city life to the quiet suburb life and empty nesters who want to live near good restaurants, museums and cultural events.

• Second – to provide a grocery store that is convenient to the residents of the building and other city residents.

• Third – to provide short-term housing for city visitors who are either in Baton Rouge for business or visiting family. One floor would be allocated to these extended stay units with leases running from a week to three months.

• Fourth – To provide each resident a dedicated parking place in the building. These parking places will have secure access (gated). There will be a few parking spaces allocated to the Extended Stay guest.

• Fifth – Follow sustainable and universal design practices were applicable and when possible. Incorporate green energy such as solar and/or wind energy.
