Prime Office Space Immediately Available Realty in 2012 projected a stable market for office space. The report predicted Class A office space occupancy rates approaching 90 percent in coming years driven in part by the slow pace of new construction in the area. The Rault Building The 110 Veterans Building Rates for Class B are also expected to climb. Michael Siegel, president and director of office leasing for Corporate Realty, said those predictions hold true moving into 2014. He expects steady supply and demand for office space in the CBD over the next five years. “The one word I would use to describe the market for office space in the CBD is equilibri- um,” Siegel said. “If I could use two words, I would say equilibrium and optimism.” Projections are less rosy for older, non- Class A office buildings in the CBD, which 2400 Veterans Blvd. Kenner, LA 110 Veterans Blvd. Metairie, LA report average occupancy rates below 70 per- cent. Duff Friend, an agent with NAI Latter & Blum, noted that non-Class A space is still Locally Owned and Managed by Rault Resources Group priced fairly high compared to premium units, ranging from $14 to $17 per square For leasing inquiries call Jennifer Amedee at foot. Until the price gap increases, it will be tough to attract additional tenants, he said. 504.581.1314 “Demand would have to increase for Class A office space in order for those prices www.raultresources.com to rise high enough to make non-Class A office space more attractive,” Friend said. Experts predict the steady increase of out- Escape from the ordinary ... come visit our newly upgraded properties! side firms and start-up ventures seeking space near the city’s historic center could spark new office tower construction over the next decade. Yet there are hurdles to new development. “In general, there is a lack of land in the New Orleans area,” Siegel said. “New Orleans is surrounded by water, and there is limited developable land. In the CBD, we are blessed with lots of old, historic buildings which can- not be torn down. Therefore, new land in the CBD and in the Warehouse District is even more of a limited commodity.” 3925 N. I-10 Service Rd. 4300 S. I-10 Service Rd. Siegel added that the value of vacant land in Metairie Metairie the CBD has spiked in recent years as demand has recently increased from developers inter- ested in building new hotels, apartments, and garages — not necessarily office buildings. 2200 Veterans Blvd. Friend said the CBD market will continue to be characterized by its relative stability in Kenner coming years. “The market is healthy right now,” he says. “I’ve got no crystal ball, but I see no reason for that to change.”• Newly upgraded properties, atrium ofces, retail, warehouse space for lease and self storage space for rent.

Jack Stumpf, president of Jack Stumpf and WEST BANK Associates, says rising flood insurance

rates and wetlands mitigation hurdles PHOTO BY ASHLEY MERLIN remain hurdles to large-scale commercial development on the West Bank. By John Breerwood Contributing Writer [email protected]

With the Huey P. Long Bridge expansion project complete, experts say the West Bank is positioned to accommodate large-scale industrial or commercial projects if developers can jump several key hurdles. Jerry Bologna, executive director of the Jefferson Parish Economic Development Commission, said the expanded bridge is already having a significant economic impact. He noted retailers in Elmwood on the East Bank have already seen “significant appre- ciable upticks in traffic counts.” The West Bank also stands to benefit. Bologna said much of the open land at the foot of the bridge has the potential to tap into the same traffic that Elmwood has seen. “The bridge completion positions the area west of the Harvey Canal to capture a lot of future growth,” he said. “Many West Bank property own- ers that have owned land in the proximity of the Huey P. Long Bridge are starting to position their properties to get them into commerce.” Jack Stumpf, president of Jack Stumpf and Associates, is also optimistic about the area’s future growth, particularly at the base of the newly expanded bridge. “I’ve been getting calls about my property near there,” Stumpf said. “The Huey P. Long Bridge has been a big plus.” Still, a number of challenges stand in the way of widespread commercial development. Stumpf said that flood insurance and wetlands issues are the biggest concerns for prospective developers. It cost about $4,000 per acre to address a wetlands mitiga- tion issue seven years ago, and today that cost could run up as high as $30,000 per acre, he said. Stumpf said. “If an acre is worth $25,000 and you have to BY THE NUMBERS He added demand for industrial and residential put another $30,000 into it, then it does not space is also high.
