Former FEMA Office Building in New Orleans Goes to Auction
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (PRWEB) March 01, 2015 -- The six-story atrium building located in a lush park setting housed FEMA employees for nearly ten years. 1 Seine Court, considered the premier address on the Westbank, was previously listed at $12MM for the building only, but now the sale includes over 11 acres of prime development land zoned retail, commercial or multi-family at a starting bid of $4.9MM.
The recent departure of the Louisiana Recovery offices of FEMA from New Orleans compelled the real estate investment group that owns the building to sell by auction. The group anticipates an accelerated sale by exposing it to an international market on the auction website; setting auction terms that remove the possibility of lengthy negotiations, retrading and contingencies; and offering the building, plus the additional development land, at a remarkably low starting bid.
The office building is suitable as a corporate headquarters or for multiple tenants, as it was for many healthcare, financial and real estate/mortgage companies prior to FEMA’s tenancy.
