A redevelopment of the Plaza Tower would be absolutely incredible after all this time vacant, but I won't hold my breath until something comes out. Who knows, hopefully there's behind-the-scenes action taking place.
A few things to note:
One Jaeger has started selling some properties that hes bought
two : the market street power plant isnt on this list as are a couple other properties he owns in warehouse district
So that would at least indicate the projects page isnt just listing things that he owns, but rather properties that are currently under construction or in planning stages

My guess is the continued progress of the SMD has finally prompted this Plaza Tower activity. If SMD had never occurred, I doubt we'd see even the hint of a Plaza Tower redevelopment.

The Howard Hughes Corporation-owned shopping center is adding six new businesses this year, including high fashion and local cuisine. A recently opened Hollister & Co. store will be joined by Polo Ralph Lauren and Kate Spade New York, which will be the first store in Louisiana for the retailer.
New dining options include locally-owned Copeland’s Wharfhouse and Rizzuto’s Pizzeria, which will be located in the recently-renovated Spanish Plaza. Rock N Roll Sushi, an Alabama-based chain, will open on the second floor.

Dixie Brewing Company, LLC is set to open its doors to the public on Saturday, January 25, capping a 14-year local production hiatus after the brewery was destroyed due to Hurricane Katrina. The location (3501 Jourdan Road) was selected specifically due to its proximity to downtown New Orleans (eight minutes from the French Quarter), ease of logistics, and its capacity to brew and package nearly 100,000 barrels annually.
"Our goal was to take advantage of this opportunity zone and create a business that would serve as a catalyst for tourism and local jobs, so that this area can once again become a thriving community," said Owner Gayle Benson. "This project is a long-term investment in an area that traditionally has not benefited to the same extent as others. We have worked diligently with city leaders, specifically Mayor Cantrell and Councilwoman Nguyen on the economic development of the surrounding community to attract, retain and grow business in New Orleans East."
The return of Dixie Beer and its brewing facility is part of a long-term, multimillion-dollar project along the Industrial Canal in New Orleans East. The benefits of this investment will directly affect job growth, entice additional private investment to the area and become a stimulus for growth in New Orleans East.
Part of that growth will be the newly constructed, 85,000 sq. ft. Dixie Brewery, which will officially open to the public on January 25 from 11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
"Not only is this be a tremendous investment in New Orleans East, but it will also serve as a tourist destination as well as a great place for locals to visit to enjoy the rich history of Dixie Beer, and the beautiful family-oriented surroundings around the brewery property," said Benson.
The kid and canine-friendly brewery offers guests many options to stay entertained including both guided and self-guided tours, a museum, taproom, beer tastings, outdoor beer garden, bocce ball courts, walking path and a full-service kitchen. It also houses private event space available for booking...
The always made the most sense. The building will fall in on itself during the implosion much like the old hotel that was imploded along I-10 several years back.

Exactly... get that crap down asap... so tired of looking at it and the hassle it creates for me to get around there too.
Since I haven't lived in NO for over 25 years, I'm amazed at the pictures of 2424.
The stretch of Tulane Ave to Carrollton was not real great back then. This looks like such an improvement.
Unless u were looking for hookers or crack you def didnt even want to drive through this area... def making big improvements... look forward to tulane and canal being lined with buildings like 2424
The Criminal Court Building will look a lot better soon too with all new exterior lighting, landscaping, replaced windows and pressure washing.. that went out to bid in the fall last year.
