The 80,500-square-foot facility in Mid-City known as the Orleans Justice Medical Services Building has been permitted for a sum of $88,750,000 in construction value. Located at 2900 Perdido St., the project is being spearheaded by Grace Hebert Curtis Architects. The state-of-the-art facility will primarily function as male and female housing for acute mental health inmates. It will include 89 beds in aggregate with separate areas for male and female patients. It also comprises a laundry, a centralized visitation area for attorney and family visits with a public entry point, housing support with counseling rooms and mental health staff work areas. In addition, there is space for an infirmary, clinic and administration area. The structure will be connected via an elevated walkway to the existing OJC structures on either side.

In the CBD, renovation of the historic event venue New Orleans Board of Trade right next to Chophouse is underway. No change in use or enlargement to the area is being proposed. New developments will include adding an elevator, updating finishes, relocating restrooms, relocating a commercial kitchen, and bringing a stair layout up to code compliance. Goals for the renovation are meant to restore and enhance the historic, rich heritage of the venue ensuring that it will stand for future generations to enjoy.

In Jefferson Parish, multiple permits have been issued in Metairie on Houma Boulevard, Veterans Memorial Boulevard and Causeway Boulevard to name a few. East Jefferson General Hospital will see some of the remodeling/renovations, along with 3 Lakeway and the Lakeside Shopping Center. Some of the contractors on these projects include Clement Building Company, Menemsha Development Group and Keto Construction Group.
