Overview

Downtown River Park Property

  • 32.31 Acres of Unencumbered Riverfront Property — A rare large-scale development and industrial site positioned directly along the Mississippi River in Downtown Baton Rouge.
  • Significant Mississippi River Frontage — Approximately 1,636 linear feet of frontage along the east bank of the Mississippi River, creating exceptional direct-water access potential.
  • Potential Docking / Marine Access — Extensive river frontage provides the opportunity to evaluate dock, barge, loading/unloading, or other marine-related facilities, subject to permitting and engineering requirements.
  • Canadian National Railway Access — Rail infrastructure adjacent to the property provides the potential for direct Canadian National Railway connectivity, creating a compelling combination of rail, river and roadway transportation options.
  • Railroad Overpass Access — Vehicular access to the property is available beneath the railroad overpass with 15 feet of vertical clearance, providing access for commercial vehicles and equipment.
  • Multimodal Industrial Opportunity — The combination of Mississippi River frontage, potential docking capabilities, Canadian National rail access and vehicular access makes the property particularly well positioned for industrial, logistics, transloading, distribution or maritime-oriented users.

Premier Riverfront Development Opportunity in Downtown Baton Rouge

River Park offers a rare and irreplaceable opportunity in the heart of downtown Baton Rouge — the only developable tract with fully unencumbered Mississippi River frontage between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, unobstructed by the levee. Situated just steps from the Louisiana State Capitol Building and Capitol Complex, and adjacent to the newly expanded Queen Casino, the site commands sweeping, uninterrupted views of the Mississippi River, framed by the downtown skyline.

The river brings more than scenery. It’s a working waterway and an economic engine for the region, anchored by the Port of West Baton Rouge and its steady flow of agricultural, petroleum, and industrial cargo — a daily reminder of the site’s connectivity to regional and national commerce. Access is straightforward via River Park Blvd off N. River Rd, directly across from the Claiborne Building — home to the Louisiana Department of Education and part of the State Capitol Complex.
