30 story condo tower reported today on Bidclerk for May 2010 construction start. Does anyone know what project this might be?

FYI The new high rise project at 930 Poydras is scheduled to open by the end of this year. With the rumor of the economy having bottomed out perhaps another big project down town will be green lighted by then.

The Trump site is back up replete with a new video. Maybe there's still hope.

Looks like they've taken down the Trump website.

More on Trump Tower New Orleans.

For what it's worth. Bidclerk indicates Trump to begin this August. Doubt it, but it would be great if true.

Here's and interesting article about apartment development. They, I believe, erroneously state that 930 Poydras will still be 37 floors as originally planned.

20 million dollar transformation of the Ponchartrain Hotel underway.

There's apparently a billboard up in Mississippi for Trump. I sure hope the building will eventually get built. Any new developements?

900 room hotel, cruise ship terminal? I doubt this will happen soon. link

Here's a map of the area around Felicity and Carondelet. It's just off St. Charles Ave. link

One of the few areas of promising redevelopement is Tulane Ave. where there's 2.5 to 3 billion of construction planned or under way.

More marketing for the Trump project. Will this building ever be built?

More news of credit woes. Is this what the Tracage delay is really about? Trump too? link

Here's another disappointing article indicating that Trump is probably another year away.

This is not very encouraging for the WTC and other big projects downtown. link

I'm pretty sure the maps available on Bidclerk for non-subscribers are inaccurate as is a lot of the other information there. They've announced many projects that never came to fruition. I'd still like to know what is the Genesis for this 52 story building.

Here's the mention of a 52 story building again on Bidclerk. link

52 story 325,000 sf multi-residential building. What might this be? Trump? bidclerk

This may not be new news to you guys but today's New Orleans City Business has an announcement of a new 300 room hotel for Baton Rouge.

In stead of a 38 story spire, it's a 21 story box. I suppose it's an improvement over the parking lot.

On Fulton Street I think they're redoing Ernst Cafe and some other things. I was also disappointed that Robert's no longer has the site at Canal and Carrolton. That location and the tent city under the Claiborne overpass at Canal are the the biggest eyesores on the thoroughfare. There is a rendering of 930 Poydras from May 1st on this forum. It looks like a really uninspired design to me. Is there any news on the big Nolatown project proposed for the Lakefront? One last thing. I went past West End the other day and there is not one building left standing. It seems to me that would be a great location for a large scale project like Nolatown. Any news for that site?

I believe the U.S. Customs Service still uses a lot of space in the building.
