The gas station at Lee Circle (919 St. Charles) that has been vacant since Katrina will soon be demolished to clear the way for the new three-story office building for the Greater New Orleans Foundation.
The new 20,000 square foot building will double the size of GNOF’s current offices at the K&B Building across the street and comes with a roughly $8 million price tag
The building will feature a 1,500-square-foot assembly center for nonprofits, an 1,100-square-feet coffee shop, a 750 square-foot office for startup businesses, a resource center, a library and more office space.
GNOF purchased the property in December for about $1.9 million.
