Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This versatile single-story building offers approximately 1,228 square feet on a 37' x 120' lot with 12' ceilings. The cinder block structure includes a pitched metal roof and 150-amp electrical service. A former corner store configuration remains in place, with a corner door intact and large picture windows along the front facade, supporting retail-oriented frontage and flexible interior layouts. The property is described as well maintained, with options to expand into the rear of the lot or add on-site parking. The listing also notes an available build-to-suit approach for a desired use.

Located on St Claude Avenue within the Holy Cross area, the building is positioned for visibility along a commercial corridor that connects St Bernard and Orleans Parishes. Zoning is HU-MU, which the listing states allows for many permitted uses. The property’s frontage and window presentation are intended to capture foot and vehicle traffic on this well-traveled arterial.

Designed to accommodate more than one concept, the building has been used previously as a wood working shop, epoxy mixing operation, and hardware store, and it is presented as suitable for retail, office, or restaurant use. With its corner access and storefront glazing, it can work for tenants looking for street-facing presence along St Claude Avenue while retaining flexibility for future build-out and potential expansion at the rear.
