City Square 162 Apartments

Landis joined Mayor LaToya Cantrell and project partners to celebrate the grand opening of City Square 162 – a new affordable housing development project in the Treme neighborhood – in April 2022. Located on the site of a former Winn-Dixie, the newly-completed building offers 76 one- and two-bedroom units, 15 of which are public housing, and 15 are Section 8-assisted apartments subsidized by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The remaining 46 apartments are unsubsidized and are rented at market rates.

The units have energy-efficient appliances, high-speed internet and cable access, a news release said. The community also a fitness facility, a multi-purpose community/meeting room with a business area, and a pedestrian and bicycle-friendly greenway along North Villere Street that connects the Lafitte Greenway to the site and to the adjacent Bienville Basin community.

City Square 162 is part of a redevelopment and revitalization plan that began with Bienville Basin, a mixed-income, mixed-use community built by HRI Properties on the site of the former Iberville Public Housing Development.

A hallway inside the new apartment complex. The walls are white and it is brightly lit, both by its inset ceiling lights and by the tall windows into the empty room beside it. At the end of the hall is a keycard-protected wooden door with a glass panel in the middle, with a strip of blue painter's tape on the glass.

A kitchen space in a new apartment. The room is empty and lit by a large double window in one wall. Dark wood cabinets and chrome appliances are inset into an alcove in one wall and lit by an inset light in the ceiling of the alcove. Beside the kitchen wall is an open space that could be used as a dining area, with a fan and light hanging from the ceiling. An open door in the background leads into another room.
An interior hallway. The walls are painted white, with a circuit breaker box on one side, and there are round hanging lights at intervals going down the hallway. On both sides, doors are set into alcoves, and at the end is a glass door with an Exit sign above it.
