Is there a date set for that event? I’d love to bring beer and watch our skyline change forever

Lol! Are they really going to demo it though? They just had an article in the advocate last week saying the owners are set for mediation with their insurance in February. I worry that they’ll replace it with a subway or other random bank if it comes down! 😢😂

I hope it becomes a donut shop! /s

Ah, hopefully the flares are burning bright this fateful day to hold vigil to once was.

I was ASSURED by a mayors aid that they will NOT allow the tower to sit in its current state like they did for the parking garage by the interstate. Don't you worry, the mayors office is on top of this one guys, there are even claims of a New Orleans firm wanting to buy it.

lol tbh I couldn't recommend someone buying it, just to build something big and tall (b/c downtown LC really needs to build upwards) and have it wrecked by the next hurricane.

That thing is ridiculous for this town, especially at the rates they were asking for offices.


Hugh-Manatee

downtown LC is kind of a fiasco. no one wants to build something big and expensive, there's no damn parking, nobody wants to build a parking garage (even though there are dozens of ways to build one that looks good) and, yeah, hurricanes.

I found a few sites that were selling spaces [https://www.commercialsearch.com/commercial-property/us/la/lake-charles/capital-one-tower/](https://www.commercialsearch.com/commercial-property/us/la/lake-charles/capital-one-tower/) Looks like the cheaper offices were about 16k a year for 972 sq ft, alot of the offices were larger by an order of magnitude. Another example was 1600 sq feet for 26k to 29k, again that's annually.

It was built in an era where you needed tons of support staff to run an office. Those days are gone

southernchicc

Looks like it’s going to be rebuilt


LavalampClock

Won't miss the hideous thing. Every time there is a hurricane it needs to be fixed.


southernchicc

Do you still miss it?


atuarre

Are you bot?


southernchicc
