Mid-City Neighborhood Organization wants you to buy a house off NORA!

With only a few weeks left to before New Orleans Redevelopment Authority stops accepting development proposals for its Mid-City properties, the organization has partnered with Mid-City Neighborhood Association to lead prospective developers on a tour of the 65 vacant or blighted lots owned by the agency.

The NORA/Mid-City Request for Proposals closes on July 10. It targets individual renovators and small contractors as well as developers, prioritizing projects that rehabilitate existing structures rather than new building.

3816 Banks

The tour of for-sale properties will be held on Saturday, June 27, from 9 am to 12 pm. The event will feature open houses of Road Home Buyout and other NORA-acquired properties that have been cleaned out and are ready for renovation. Selected homes will be open for two hours -either from 9am-11am or from 10am-12pm. The tour will set off from 315 S. Cortez Street, located between Canal Street and Banks Street and between Jefferson Davis Parkway and Carrollton Avenue. Tour attendees will also be required to sign an agreement that holds both NORA and Mid-City harmless for any liability should a potential purchaser choose to enter a property.
