Description

This 40,000 SF corner site at the southwest intersection of Westbank Expressway and Drake Avenue offers a ground lease opportunity in one of Westwego's fastest-developing corridors. With 200 feet of frontage along Westbank Expressway (35,000 VPD), the site is well suited for retail, restaurant, service, medical, automotive, or convenience users seeking visibility in a growing trade area.

Investment along this stretch is picking up. A new RaceTrac is under construction just west of the site, and less than a quarter mile away, the Jefferson Parish School Board purchased 28 acres for $9.4 million with plans for a potential new school campus. Developers have acquired dozens of surrounding plots for planned residential construction, adding future rooftops to roughly 260,000 residents already within five miles. With the Alario Center down the street and downtown New Orleans 20 minutes away, this corner offers established traffic today and a strengthening trade area ahead.

Highlights

  • 15 minutes from Elmwood via Huey P Long Bridge
  • 20 minutes from downtown New Orleans via Crescent City Connection
  • Approximately 260,000 residents within a 5-mile radius
