OVERVIEW

General Description:
This land holding is located adjacent to Louisiana Highway 1 (New Roads Street) and is only 0.4 miles (7 blocks) from the center of New Roads. The 150 foot by 900 foot area is defined by New Roads Street (east), one block beyond Louisiana Street (west), the Missouri Pacific Railroad and Louisiana & Arkansas Railroad trackage (north), and mixed commercial and residential neighborhoods (south). The principal advantage of this property is its 900 feet of frontage along the railroad tracks with its heavy timber depot platform situated between Richey and Mary Streets. Elm Street, a city thoroughfare, divides the holding from east to west and provides road access to the interior of the site. Richey and Poydras Streets transect the property, crossing the railroad tracks from south to north.
Structures: Two attached structures at 401 Elm Street – at the intersection with New Roads Street – have been leased to Feed Service & Hardware Supply, Inc., popularly referred to as the Purina Feed Store.
Services and Utilities: All services are available on site.
