The Bayou Phoenix team was chosen as the master developer in October 2021. The development team is composed of local companies with local ties: Henry Consulting and TKTMJ. Earlier this month, the City approved the property transfer from the Industrial Development Board (IDB) to the New Orleans Redevelopment Authority (NORA), along with the development agreement between NORA and Bayou Phoenix.
The Bayou Phoenix team said it is committed to including community input as it finalizes its long-term lease with NORA.
“Our priority is, first and foremost, the people of New Orleans and the region,” said Troy Henry of Henry Consulting. “We are grateful to each and every community member who reached out with feedback and support over the past 2 years. We could not have done this without your strong, clear voices. Our team is looking forward to moving forward with our partners, and the City of New Orleans, to ensure their needs are fully met.”
“Community outreach is very important to our team,” said Michael Tubre of TKTMJ. “We’re including the people living in New Orleans East and the region every step of the way. We live, work, and have investments here, so we will do everything in our power to make sure this project gets done right the first time.”
