New Orleans Warehouse District Condos,A Guide to New Orleans Condos

Designed in 1904 by architects Favrot and Livaudals the warehouse was completed in 1907 and used for the production of rope, largely for ships in port. It was used as a pavilion for the 1984 New Orleans World´s Fair. The old rope factory, built of heavy timber, is an interesting study of conversion efficiency. Over one million dollars was spent on initial cleanup with a deep desire to preserve the character and flavor of both the New Orleans tan bricks and the first growth heart of Southern yellow pine. Because the building is listed on the National Register for Historic Places, strict guidelines for modification of the structure were followed. A fireplace which was part of the old office had each of its 1,000 bricks numbered so it could be assembled as it was. Degrading a dock-high floor allowed for apartments with loft bedrooms. Creating three levels out of two floors and adding a penthouse to the roof, generated substantial additional square footage and exceptionally nice spaces. The conversion led to 140 units all being different floorplans to take advantage of the historical nature of the structure. No 2 units are alike and are spread over the 5 floors.

The condos feature valet parking and one off street parking space per unit. A 24 hour doorman and an on site security officer, elevators, high ceilings, cypress beams, brick walls, large rooms make this a truly unique place to live.
