The 511 Marigny project was a major renovation of a 78,000-square-foot historic masonry building from a hosiery warehouse into 47 residential units. The original structure was built in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood downriver from the French Quarter in 1905, and an addition was completed in 1932.
An observation space was added to the rooftop with 360-degree views of the city. The completed residence units boast 16- to 18-foot ceilings with exposed ceiling/floor decking, open floorplans, wood floors, modern galley kitchens with stainless steel and granite finishes, six-foot soaking tubs, and glass wall-mounted vanities. All the existing steel-framed windows were rebuilt and reused, with impact-resistant glass. The building also provides 3,500 square feet of first-floor commercial and retail tenant space.
