NEW ORLEANS — Provident Realty Advisors, a Dallas-based developer, has opened Canal 1535, a 330-unit multifamily building in the central business district (CBD) of New Orleans.
Canal 1535 features one- and two-bedroom apartments. Amenities include a fitness center, parking garage and heated swimming pool. The property is now leasing to new residents, with rents ranging from approximately $1,500 to $3,700. The total development cost is estimated at $85 million.
The building is situated on Canal Street in the heart of New Orleans, near Tulane University Medical School and Louisiana State University School of Medicine.
