Renting Office Space in Downtown & Central Business District

Downtown is currently the site of New Orleans' most ambitious redevelopment in decades. The Charity Hospital Redevelopment is entering a critical phase in 2026, transforming the landmark 1-million-square-foot building into a mix of Class A office space, retail, and workforce housing. This is the anchor of the new Spirit of Charity Innovation District, which aims to draw 2,300 high-paying biotech and research jobs to the core (Source: Biz New Orleans / 1532 Tulane Partners 2026). 2026 is the year of "Vertical Delivery." Construction on the $600 million Health Tower—a massive affordable housing and medical facility initiative—is reaching its topping-out phase in late 2026 (Source: CNR Magazine). For investors, the CBD is the premier "Institutional Hub," shifting from a 9-to-5 business district into a 24/7 innovation zone with high demand for modern, amenity-rich lofts.
