KEY TAKEAWAYS: An $11.81 million restoration and renovation project at Isidore Newman School‘s historic Jefferson Building is the largest permit issued in Orleans Parish. Ochsner Health is converting commercial space at 2820 Napoleon Ave. into a Women’s Wellness Clinic featuring exam rooms , offices and a nurses’ station. Exterior work on the Newman project includes façade restoration, roof repairs, dormer additions and a redesigned courtyard. Commercial and residential permits across Orleans, Jefferson and St. Tammany parishes include multimillion-dollar projects totaling tens of millions in planned construction activity.   Landis Construction leads the active construction at 1903 Jefferson Avenue for the Isidore Newman School Jefferson Building Restoration and Renovation project. The scope of work centers on a partial renovation of the historic Jefferson Building, with select improvements extending into the adjacent Saratoga Building. Interior work includes the partial demolition of existing partitions to restore original architectural features while creating updated office and student spaces. Full MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) and fire protection systems are being upgraded in select areas across both buildings. On the exterior, the project encompasses façade refinishing of existing plaster, limited window and door replacements, roof repairs with dormer additions, and a full remodel of the outdoor courtyard. Ryan Gootee General Contractors leads the development at 2820 Napoleon Avenue for a full interior renovation of a 6th-floor commercial space. The buildout is designated for an Ochsner Health Women’s Wellness Clinic and includes the addition of restrooms, a nurses’ station, private offices, consultation rooms, and exam rooms. The majority of demolition for this space has already been completed and has received approval from all applicable authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ), keeping the project on a clear path toward buildout and occupancy. This Ochsner Health medical office conversion reflects continued demand for healthcare-oriented tenants in the area and represents a purposeful adaptive reuse of existing commercial floor space.
