New Condos Near UL

POSTED 1/28/09

From the ashes of a house fire, more student-focused housing is heading to near the UL campus in Lafayette. Building records show Roosevelt Street Condominiums has been permitted to build a $400,000 complex at the corner of Roosevelt and Gen. Mouton - that's just about two blocks from the edge of the UL campus.

The condos are being built on a lot that used to house an older house that caught on fire about a year ago, and has since been demolished. The sign at the property looks almost exactly the same as the sign that was at the property where condos have recently been built on Johnston Street, across from Ground Pat'i. I'm not sure if the developers are the same - or they're just using the same design. Over on Johnston Street - those condos were two bedrooms, two stories and they were listed for around $140,000 a piece.
