Blue Plate Artist Lofts

The former home of local favorite Blue Plate Mayonnaise was rehabilitated by HRI Properties and JCH Development into 72 mixed income loft-style apartments designed with a leasing preference for artists. The Blue Plate building is listed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks and is located in a designated Louisiana Cultural District. It was originally constructed in 1941. Designed by famed New Orleans architect August Perez, it was the first building in New Orleans constructed in the Art Moderne style. The sleek structure is famous for its distinctive smooth, all-white exterior, rounded glass-block corners and the iconic Blue Plate rooftop sign. This development will include on-site, gated parking; a community gallery space; a roof deck; 12.5-13' ceilings; an outdoor patio and landscaped courtyard; a music rehearsal room; a fitness center; business center and bicycle storage. In addition, a number of renewable and sustainable design features will be incorporated into the building to minimize residents' utility costs as well as overall operating costs.

Blue Plate Artist Lofts is an apartment located in Orleans Parish, the 70125 Zip Code, and the Wilson Charter School, Esperanza Charter Elementary School, and Morris Jeff Community School attendance zone.
