May: Construction Begins!

At long last, this week we begin our renovation of the former St. Peter & Paul church and school complex at 2317 Burgundy St into a hotel and event space.

Although our renovation will produce more activity on the site than it's seen in a number of years, the project involves no construction of new buildings and very demolition, and we will do our best to minimize negative impacts. And when it is done, the dark and vacant buildings will be restored to their historic beauty!

Palmisano Contractors will be managing construction over the next 14-16 months. On certain days within this period, there will be street/sidewalk closures, deliveries, loud equipment and activity. At times, Palmisano may also temporarily restrict parking adjacent to the job site to ensure pedestrian safety. Activity will mainly take place between 7 am and 3:30 pm. All work is in compliance with the New Orleans Office of Safety and Permits. 

We will post regular construction updates to www.stpeterandpaulfeedback.com and Nextdoor Marigny. 

Palmisano Contractors can be reached at 504-459-4438. My personal cell number is 504-715-7142. Feel free to email any questions to stpeterandpaulfeedback@gmail.com.

We look forward to restoring the site’s original grandeur and making it a vibrant part of the community again. We thank you for your patience thus far and going forward.

A little about the project

It's probably been a while since you last visited our website, so here's a reminder of what our plans are:

• A completely contextual, sensitive restoration of historic property in accordance with local, state and federal standards
• No existing historic buildings will be demolished
• No new buildings will be built
• 59 rooms in the school
• 5 rooms in the rectory, with public space on the ground floor to include a small bar and juice bar 
• 7 rooms in the convent
• Wide diversity in room pricing ($150-300), including discounts for locals (no room sleeps more than 4 guests)
• All parking will be contained on the property and screened attractively from the street
• The church will not be subdivided, but rather restored to its former beauty for use as a community space and event space for the hotel. 
• Employees will be paid a living wage
• All-local food and beverage operators
• As much locally made furniture and fixtures as possible
• Pro-active effort to minimize negative impacts and maximize positive impacts on you as our neighbor
• Support and new customers for existing neighborhood businesses
• Lush landscaping throughout the site
