Overview
This 4,500 sq. ft. metal building in Central City was formerly used as a place of worship and sits on a generous corner lot at First and Clara Streets. The property includes bonus green space (approx. 34' x 68') behind the building fronting directly on Clara. The corner position and extra yard open up options for parking, outdoor space, or future development. Inside, you'll find a spacious open sanctuary with vaulted ceilings and an elevated stage, multiple private offices and flex rooms, and three restrooms. Zoned HU-RD2, the property offers a path for multi-family redevelopment as well as potential for a daycare, group home, residential care facility, community center, place of worship, or other light neighborhood commercial uses (buyer to verify with the City of New Orleans). Whether you're a congregation ready to make it your own, an operator with a vision, or a developer eyeing a multi-family opportunity with room to grow, 2800 First St. is worth a look. Located two blocks from the Claiborne corridor with easy access to downtown.
