Bywater's L.A. Frey & Sons Meat Packing Plant Listed - Unique Development Opportunity

The former L.A. Frey & Sons Meat Packing Plant property located on Burgundy and Bartholomew Streets has been listed for sale in whole or part by RE/MAX Commercial Brokers, Inc.  Once envisioned as a four-corner $42 million mixed use development called ICInola, this property offers a unique opportunity for redevelopment in the dense high-demand Bywater neighborhood.  The property includes a 52,500 SF plant adjacent to a 15,000 SF vacant lot, and a 14,000 SF office building with an 8,100 SF parking lot.

The property owner has agreed to sell the property in its entirety for $3 million or will divide the property in two segments: the plant and vacant lot for $1.95 million (less than $40/SF); and the office building with adjacent lot for $1.05 million (approximately $80/SF). The property is currently zoned L-1 for light industrial.  Future zoning has been proposed for Historic Marigny/Treme/Bywater Mixed Use District (HM-MU).  The new zoning is intended to provide a mixed-use environment of light industrial, commercial and residential uses that would not adversely affect the historic character of the neighborhood.


“In recent years, the Bywater neighborhood has been in high demand with impressive in-fill and redevelopment taking place throughout the area,” stated Richard Juge, RE/MAX Commercial Brokers, Inc. owner and broker.
