We all tried to keep it together… but sometimes people crack. Mayors engage in bar fights, trash companies decide not to pick up the trash, and council members provoke the city’s only Fortune 500 company… because who needs a $20 billion dollar business stimulating the local economy? It’s times like these when shaving your head and throwing a python around your neck seems like the only viable option, but just like the pride of Louisiana and Kentwood’s first daughter, we’ll all be freed in due time.
On the bright side, the city was hurricane tested and squeaked by with a C+. Just like the levies and the pumps, ben + burka held strong and never stopped working. After weeks spent helping our clients assess the destruction and remediate damages, we’re back to business as usual. Thankfully, it seems like the Saints are, too.
Speaking of back to business— major kudos to our client Levelset, arguably the city’s greatest startup success story, for their sale to Procore for $500 million. In addition to helping Levelset establish their corporate HQ in the LGD, we have also recently worked with Tabasco, Litify, El Guapo Bitters, Prokeep and Align to plant roots in the city this year.
With hurricane recovery underway, we’re highlighting properties that pair well with restoration efforts, including an industrial warehouse perfect for disaster staging and an epic Bywater property ideal for a short term housing development. Did we mention a Central City bar and brewery? Because let’s be honest…we all need several drinks after the past month.
