KEY TAKEAWAYS: A permit was issued for a new two-story office and shop facility at 4480 Dauphine St. in Bywater Major redevelopment continues at former naval base sites, including mixed-use plans with housing, retail, and innovation space International-Matex Tank Terminals received multimillio n-dollar permits for industrial upgrades in Avondale Adaptive reuse projects include transforming a former casino into a lakefront marketplace with retail, dining, and public spaces   Permits were recently issued for 4480 Dauphine St. for the ground-up construction of a new two-story structure. The permitted scope includes the development of a combined office and shop facility. Overall, the naval base redevelopment represents a major transformation of a long-blighted property into a new mixed-use district. The broader project is a multi-phase redevelopment that will introduce: Affordable housing units (one of the largest investments of its kind in Louisiana) Ground-floor retail and commercial space An industrial/innovation hub anchored by a “deep tech” startup facility Community and mixed-use spaces A renovation permit has been issued for the former casino building at 6701 Stars Stripes Boulevard, outlining plans to transform the existing structure into a multi-tenant marketplace concept along the lakefront. The project primarily focuses on adaptive reuse of the existing building, with upgrades designed to support a mix of retail, dining, and public gathering spaces. A key component of the work includes expanding the exterior patio around the building, allowing for new lake-facing storefronts that will enhance visibility and pedestrian access for future tenants. Inside, the first floor will be converted into an open vendor marketplace, creating a flexible, communal environment for multiple small businesses. The distinctive octagon space along the boardwalk, along with portions of the second floor, will be delivered as white-box tenant spaces, making them ready for future buildout by incoming users, including cafés and shops. Additional interior modifications include reconfiguring part of the second floor within the existing footprint to add a balcony overlooking the lake, further capitalizing on the site’s waterfront location.
