B.R. gets a glimpse of The Elysian

A rendering for the long-planned infill development at Spanish Town Road and North 13th Street consisting of 100 mixed-income apartments was today released to the public. The Elysian, which broke ground May 16, is a four-story, 110,300-square-foot development valued at just under $9.5 million, according to city-parish records. It will be a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments when it’s completed next summer; and it will include parking, a courtyard and a playground. Elysian Development Partners is teaming with New Orleans-based Gulf Coast Housing Partnership on the project, which is also supported with funding from a number of state and local redevelopment and housing agencies. Milton J. Womack Inc. is the general contractor on the development, and Looney Ricks Kiss is the architect. “The magnitude of this project will impact the area and bring other much-needed retail and residential development for the downtown and Mid City areas,” Donnie Jarreau, a partner in the project, is predicting.
