Mouledoux, Bland, Legrand & Brackett (MBLB) has expanded its office space in New Orleans’ Central Business District by taking over the fifth floor of the Hancock Whitney Center. Previously occupying only the sixth floor, the firm now spans two floors in this prominent downtown building.
This expansion, confirmed on July 9, 2026, follows a ribbon-cutting event held on June 29. The Hancock Whitney Center, located at 701 Poydras Street, serves as a key location for MBLB, reflecting their growth after recent mergers.
Design firm GOAT handled the build-out, focusing on collaborative spaces and enhanced natural lighting. MBLB, now boasting around 80 attorneys across four offices, has emphasized the importance of creating a conducive work environment through this expansion.
The move signals a positive trend in the demand for office space within the central business district, highlighting leasing activity and professionals’ commitment to the area. Law firms are typically seen as stable tenants, and MBLB’s growth is a testament to the demand for high-quality office space in downtown New Orleans.
The specifics regarding the size of the lease, terms, or financial arrangements for this expansion were not disclosed. However, the move is indicative of broader downtown office market trends, showcasing both tenant growth and participation from local design firms like GOAT in significant projects.
