Renovated Hard Corner in the Fat City Pedestrian Core —One Block from Lakeside from Lakeside Mall

Corporate Realty is pleased to offer for sale or lease 3520 18th Street, a renovated 6,359 square foot two-story commercial building occupying the hard corner of 18th Street and N. Arnoult Road in the heart of Fat City, Metairie's emerging urban core.

The building was taken down to the CMU walls and rebuilt with a contemporary design vocabulary rarely found in Jefferson Parish: full-height storefront glazing on both frontages, a living green wall at the primary entry, cedar-slat second-floor cladding, a second-floor open-air terrace, boardwalk decking, and a paver streetscape with bollards and landscaping. Interior work includes new mechanical, electrical and plumbing under permitted drawings by Titan Engineering, plus a new TPO roof, large three-phase electrical service, and a turnkey second-generation restaurant space with new commercial hood, vent fan and grease trap.

The site totals ±7,746 SF (0.18 acres) —55 feet on 18th Street and ±145 feet along N. Arnoult Road —with striped off-street parking fronting 18th Street and at the rear, including an ADA stall and loading access. The corner delivers two full frontages and wrap-around storefront exposure, a rare configuration in a submarket dominated by inline strip retail and single-frontage pads. Suites A and B are leased; the two second-floor suites are brand new and never occupied, delivered with full ADA access as a vanilla shell or with a new build-out, each with a built-in kitchen and permitted for live-work. The site sits above the flood zone with no history of flooding.

Stamped certified architectural and building plans (Titan Engineering, T17119), a Jefferson Parish–signed Planning & Zoning Report, a February 2026 lender-ordered MAI appraisal in excess of $1.6 million, and a historic clean Phase I are in the data room; all reports are assignable. Suited to an owner-user (SBA-financeable), a single-tenant restaurant/hospitality operator, or an investor buying income in place with upside in the never-occupied second floor.
