NEW ORLEANS — Kennedy Funding Financial has closed a $1.5 million acquisition loan for a 40,000-square-foot lot in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans. Fronting Charles Street and bounded by Mazant and Royal streets, the site houses a former seafood processing plant. The borrower, Pelican Royal LLC, plans to develop a 43-room, 32,000-square-foot hotel and hostel known as Stateside on the site. Slated to open in early 2018, Stateside will feature a laundromat, courtyard, pool, restaurant and bar and a coffee and juice shop.
