Canal Street Beat is partnering with The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery for the second event in our monthly Property Showcase Series, designed to showcase new developments and interesting properties in New Orleans.

An unconventionally historic New Orleans hotel, the Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery the latest incarnation of a building that began its life in 1854 as a warehouse serving the Port of New Orleans. Built in the heart of New Orleans’ bustling port district just steps from the French Quarter, it served as a coffee warehouse before being purchased by E.J. Hart & Company who operated a chandlery, or general wholesale business, trading in everything sailing ships needed to stock their voyages – from canvas and rope to paper, tobacco and patent medicines.

Neighbors, entrepreneurs, professionals, business people, press, and the real estate community are all invited to attend. The purpose of the event is to showcase new developments, hear directly from the developers, and bring together community, and motivated people interested in real estate, urban planning, and community development. We will be meeting in The Chandlery for the Property Showcase.

New Orleans is brimming with makers. The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery searched far and wide for the best of the best and bring them all right to you. Inspired by their building’s heritage as a warehouse provisioning the Port of New Orleans, the lobby art gallery does double duty as a Chandlery stocked with items from our very favorite local and regional creators of t-shirts, art, jewelry, fragrances, candles, soaps, and much more.

We will be serving punch made by the AMAZING Abigale.
