Seeking to redevelop Charity Hospital in New Orleans, the LSU Real Estate and Facilities Foundation and LSU Health New Orleans have commissioned a land-use study of the Tulane Avenue hospital.
The Urban Land Institute, a nonprofit focused on responsible land use and sustainable communities, will conduct the study from Nov. 5-10, a news release says. ULI will recommend the best potential use of the 20-year-old property.
“We look forward to receiving the results of Urban Land Institute’s study and exploring the potential for Charity Hospital to become an exciting hub of downtown development in New Orleans,” LSU President F. King Alexander says in a statement.
LSU hopes to identify a commercial partner to redevelop the hospital to benefit a revitalized New Orleans medical district, which includes LSU Health.
