In March of 2023, HRI Communities, LLC ("HRIC") and New Orleans Restoration Properties, LLC ("NORP") were selected by NORA to co-develop the previously vacant and underutilized parcel at 1141 Esplanade Avenue in New Orleans, LA into a new construction, mixed-income, mixeduse community. The property is uniquely located on a historical and culturally significant block surrounded by the Tremé, Marigny, French Quarter and Esplanade Ridge communities with immediate access to retail, healthcare, schools and public transportation. Esplanade Delille Apartments  includes 50 high-quality 1 and 2 bedroom apartments and two ground floor retail bays totaling 2,650 SF fronting Esplanade Avenue. The retail spaces are intended for community-minded, small, local businesses that will be openly marketed with community input and provide a preference for MBE/WBE-owned, local businesses. Following financial closing in December 2025, construction has begun on site and is anticipated to reach completion in Spring of 2027.
