pardon our progress
12+ construction projects underway in the DDD

The DDD continues to celebrate and build upon the accomplishments of Plan Baton Rouge, Plan Baton Rouge II, the Riverfront Master Plan, and FUTUREBR. There are currently over 12 projects of different types and scales underway in the DDD.

Downtown is quickly becoming one of the most desirable places to live in Baton Rouge; the residential developments currently underway will bring a total of over 350 additional residential units within the Central Business District alone. Complementing these developments are the public greenspaces being implemented by the DDD as part of Plan Baton Rouge II's Central Green concept - making downtown a great place to live, work, and play!
