New Orleans Commercial Listings

Located on the Mississippi River, New Orleans is the economic and commercial hub of the Gulf Coast region of the U.S. Initially founded by the French, the city became part of the U.S. in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. It played a major role as a port from its founding and, by the 1840s, was the wealthiest city in the country. Described as one of the most unique cities in the United States, New Orleans has a multilingual and cross-cultural heritage thanks to its founding by the French and the influx of residents into what was then the largest city in the South.

New Orleans continues to be one of the largest and busiest ports in the world and is home to much of the country’s oil refining and petrochemical production. Total industrial space is 2,605,322 square feet. Additionally, there is 15,128,901 square feet of office space, a portion of which is home to the white-collar corporate base for petrol and natural gas production. New Orleans commercial real estate also includes 1,056,752 square feet of office space with retail inventory.

There are 11 institutes of higher learning in the city, including top research universities like Tulane University. In the last few decades, New Orleans has become home to a growing tech sector and is a major hub for the health care industry. The city has also become a popular place to film TV and movies, leading to its nickname as “Hollywood South.”
