Landis completed the full renovation of the abandoned 4-story, 6,633 sq. ft. building at 617 Canal Street in downtown New Orleans into three Airbnb units on the upper floors with three bedrooms and two baths on each floor and retail space on the ground level. The scope of work for this transformational project included: removal of the existing partitions and stairs within, the rehabilitation of the plaster facade and existing gallery and windows, redesign of the entry storefront to meet historic standards, replacement of the existing elevator, installation of a new stairwell to the three rental units to serve egress requirements, build-out of a roof-top addition extending the new stair, installation of all new mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, and the incorporation of a new fire alarm and sprinkler system.

What It’s Like to Work With Us

From post-bid construction analysis through final punchlist completion, Landis worked diligently with our firm to build an exemplary new school, one which impressed the client enough to become the RSD’s prototype design for future elementary schools. Based on working with Landis Construction over several decades, I do not hesitate to highly recommend Landis for your upcoming construction projects.

Your project management team was extremely organized and easy to work with, and your project superintendent was always focused on problem solving and holding the subcontractors to the highest standards. In short, we are extremely proud of how this project turned out, but know that it would not be the success it is without the hard work and dedication of the Landis Construction team.

Landis provided both pre-construction and construction services on this important community project. In working daily with the Landis project engineers, project managers, field supervision, and management I observed a high level of collaborative teambuilding, accurate and detailed estimating, an excellent knowledge of construction materials and the market, well planned/scheduled construction, and a willingness to be innovative in order to achieve the Owner’s project goals. I would consider it a privilege to work with them again.

Everyone came to work with a good attitude, lots of laughter, and care to perform the job efficiently and correctly. Now the New Orleans Homeownership Center is serving the community by creating opportunities for more housing, jobs, and credit for the community.

Our experience with Landis Construction was nothing short of exceptional. Their dedication to their clients is evident in their work ethic, quality of work, and commitment to excellence. They were an integral part of our team from start to finish, and even after the project’s completion, they have remained committed to, and stand behind, their work.—
