A prime piece of commercial real estate hit the downtown Baton Rouge market, offering potential for major local economic development.
Prime Riverfront Location
Momentum Commercial Real Estate lists 32.3 acres of prime land for sale at $12 million. Located along the Mississippi Riverfront, the property sits directly between the Queen Casino and ExxonMobil.
The site boasts 1,600 feet of river frontage and 1,500 feet of Canadian National rail frontage. Sitting on a natural bluff on the river side of the levee, the land avoids levee restrictions and remains high and dry during historical flood events.
Endless Development Potential
While an ambitious $600 million resort and entertainment vision previously stalled under former ownership, current brokers Clay Furr and Paul Ellis emphasize the site’s versatile future.
Because previous Planned Unit Development (PUD) approvals expired, any buyer must submit a fresh development plan to local authorities. The property fits several high-impact uses:
-
Industrial and Logistics: Direct access to river barges and mainline rail makes it ideal for shipping, freight, or manufacturing.
-
Corporate Campus: Prime acreage provides space for major corporate headquarters seeking scenic riverfront views.
-
Entertainment District: Broad acreage and proximity to downtown make it a candidate for hospitality, retail, or even a riverfront minor league ballpark.
Interested buyers can contact Momentum Commercial Real Estate at 225-229-0753 to explore opportunities on this rare riverfront parcel.
