446 Vallette St

Glass Blowing Studio / Theater

446 Vallette Street is a ±7,335 SF single-tenant commercial property situated on a ±7,680 SF HU-B1A-zoned lot in Algiers Point. Currently home to Rosetree Glass Studio and Gallery, this striking Art Deco structure—originally built as the Algy Theater—has been thoughtfully adapted into a creative production and retail space. With the potential to convey all existing glassblowing equipment, the property presents a rare turn-key opportunity for owner-users or a repositioning play for investors. Clear-span interiors, showroom frontage, and flexible zoning make it well-suited for creative arts, studio/gallery, specialty retail, or commercial office adaptation.

Located in historic Algiers Point—New Orleans’ second-oldest neighborhood—Vallette Street is surrounded by preserved 19th-century architecture and a community known for its artistic identity and civic involvement. The Algiers Point Association (APA) actively supports local business development and architectural preservation, helping to ensure strong neighborhood cohesion. The property’s high visibility and proximity to Newton Street, the ferry terminal, and General De Gaulle Dr. offer solid regional access while maintaining a distinct local character. The building is recognized as a landmark within the neighborhood’s creative business ecosystem.
