2 CANAL STREET REDEVELOPMENT, LLC PROPOSALREDEVELOPMENT OF 2 CANAL STREET 2
B. PROJECT DESIGN
ARCHITECTURAL NARRATIVE
Our team proposes to redevelop the existing World Trade Center
building into a new Conrad New Orleans Hotel and Residences;
the design presented in the subsequent pages present a unique,
dynamic, and powerful mixed-use project at the terminus of Canal
and Poydras Streets.
This redevelopment project has the potential to unlock long-standing
civic planning goals by serving as a catalyst to reconnect the City to
the river at the confl uence of our two primary urban corridors
Canal and Poydras. While many of these initiatives are outside of
the specifi c scope of the WTC redevelopment, our proposal has
represented those that will be instrumental to opening the riverfront
to greater public use as the city celebrates its 300th anniversary.
Our design proposal illustrates those opportunities that are
forthcoming soon or have been under discussion for years, such
as the conversion of the ferry from vehicular to pedestrian only
use, removal of the existing Ferry Terminal Building - both to open
up the Canal Street vista to the river while also providing greater
connectivity between Spanish Plaza and Woldenberg Park and
improvements to vehicular and pedestrian circulation at the foot of
Canal and Poydras Streets.
These initiatives, in concert with the development of a new
Tricentennial Plaza along the riverfront at the WTC site, will create
a new space of public celebration, while enabling a continuous
public waterfront promenade from Spanish Plaza to the Moonwalk,
opening up the entire downtown central riverfront.
Following this narrative are drawings and architectural renderings
of our design proposal, representing a complete renovation and
refurbishment of the current World Trade Center, designed by
Edward Durrell Stone and dedicated in 1968. This iconic building
was viewed as an enduring symbol of our great City, with a clear
message that while this is a City with a great past, it embodies an
undoubtedly greater future. Our redevelopment of this important
structure is designed to convey the exact same message.
Site development for the project will feature two vehicular arrival
courts accessed off Convention Center Boulevard providing
separate Hotel and Residential entrance arrivals with independent
lobbies. The downriver arrival court will serve the hotel, which will
feature a signature ground level restaurant with stunning views
up Canal Street and a hotel bar in the renovated lobby that will
overlook Convention Center Boulevard. Also included as part of the
project is an independent public entrance off of a new pedestrian
plaza at the foot of Canal Street, which will provide access to the
public observation level at the thirty-third fl oor. This public plaza
will include new landscaping and pedestrian amenities along with
an interactive water feature on axis with the Canal Street corridor.
An adjacent annex building will be constructed to the south of the
tower to support the needs of the hotel. This annex will provide
7,400 square feet of street level retail space as well as lobby access
for guest/public visitors to the pool club located at the roof.
The annex building will also contain 127 parking spaces, accessible
by valet only, on two and a half levels. The garage will be accessed
from English Place, adjacent to the loading dock entrance serving
the tower.
The main ballroom for the hotel is located at the fourth fl oor of the
annex, with generous pre-function areas overlooking Spanish Plaza,
English Place, and Convention Center Boulevard. The ballroom will
contain 9,000 square feet of meeting space, divisible by operable
walls into as many as fi ve separate meeting rooms.
Escalators provide a direct connection from this to the meeting
room spaces located at the third fl oor of the existing tower, which
provide an additional 5,300 square feet of space that can be divided
into multiple smaller meeting rooms and board rooms. The third
fl oor also contains a double height junior ballroom of approximately
2,500 square feet. This meeting rooms can be accessed from the
ground fl oor lobby via elevator as well as the existing escalators
original to the tower, which will be refurbished as part of the
historic rehabilitation of the building.
Hotel administrative spaces and back of house shall be housed
on parts of fl oors two and four within the existing tower. The
sixth fl oor will be partially devoted to hotel guestrooms in two
of the four wings of the tower. A day spa and fi tness center will
occupy the other two wings and will have direct access to an
outdoor pool club and grille located on the roof of the annex, with
dramatic views of the river and city competing with activities of this
compelling rooftop amenity.
Guestrooms totaling 307 keys will occupy floors five through
eighteen. The hotel will include 23 junior suites dispersed
throughout the guest room fl oors and 18 larger suites of differing
size and fi nish on the upper hotel fl oors. The top guestroom fl oor
will house an exclusive hotel concierge club lounge of approximately
3,500 square feet in the downriver wing of the tower.
A 120-unit residence by Conrad will be located on fl oors twenty
through thirty, including 4 penthouse units with unobstructed
views of the river and city on the thirtieth fl oor. The thirty-fi rst fl oor
will be dedicated to residential amenities, including a private club
room and lounge, a residential fi tness center, and a dining room
with catered services available to residents for special occasions.
At the thirty-third floor, we will create a 7,000 square foot
observatory and interpretive center that is open to the public,
offering unparalleled, 360 degree views of the river and the City.
The entrance to this observatory will be through a separate entrance
at the fi rst fl oor of the tower, accessed from a new pedestrian plaza
at the foot of Canal Street. A shuttle elevator will take visitors to a
lobby and gift shop at the second fl oor of the tower, where tickets
can be purchased for the trip to the observation level via express
elevator. The observatory will be open in the daytime from mid-
morning to dusk, and will also be available for special functions in
the evenings.
In addition to the interior renovations, the exterior of the tower
will be renovated to upgrade the existing landmark building to
ensure that the building continues to be an iconic structure for
the city of New Orleans. All glazing will be replaced with energy
effi cient double glazed windows, the exterior skin will be cleaned
and waterproofed and the exterior will be repaired to restore the
building to its original beauty. All improvements will be done
in accordance with US Department of Interior Standards for
Rehabilitation for Historic Structures in order to take advantage of
existing State and Federal historic tax credits.
In addition, the adjacent four-story annex building will be discreetly
connected to the existing tower with a minimal corridor at the
southern wing of the tower. The upper fl oors of the annex that
front on Convention Center Boulevard and English Place will be clad
in a series of gold-anodized perforated metal panels. These panels
will vary in perforation from more solid at the bottom to more open
at the top where views from the ballroom pre-function areas will
be maximized and will also provide for natural ventilation at the
garage.
This new annex building will add yet another element at the English
Place terminus of Poydras Street alongside the Hilton Towers,
entry to Spanish Plaza and the Riverwalk Outlet Collection, and the
Hilton Riverside Hotel. This important public space, the terminus of
one of the Citys great commercial boulevards, is visually disjointed
and lacks the necessary cohesion or identity commensurate for
such an important civic space.
By continuing the perforated metal panels of the Conrad annex
around the existing circle at English Place to the Hilton Towers, this
dramatic architectural feature will frame a new civic plaza at the
foot of Poydras Street. Our design will incorporate state-of-the-art
lighting and kinetic, digital effects to bring drama, life, and a unifi ed
sense of identity to a space that has been sorely lacking same since
its creation. In this manner, our design proposal becomes not only a
fi tting terminus to Poydras Street, but a ceremonial gateway to the
Mississippi River and a new Tricentennial Plaza that celebrates our
citys 300th anniversary.

ZONING ANALYSIS
(based on Current Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance)
Our development proposal includes the construction of a new
4-story annex building to house certain program elements of the
hotel that cannot be effectively accommodated within the existing
tower. These program components include a fl exible, column-free
ballroom with associated pre-function areas, support parking for
valet holding, and an expansive pool deck and outdoor amenity
for hotel guests and residential users. This annex will also provide
ground fl oor loading and associated service program, along with
street level retail space.
The RFP requests an analysis of the current zoning and any other
restrictions affecting this new building, which are summarized below:
Property Description
The World Trade Center is located at 2 Canal St, on a property
bound by Poydras St, Convention Center Blvd, Canal St, and Spanish
Plaza. It is located in a CBD-2 Central Business District.
Permitted Uses
Multi-family residential, retail stores, bars/cocktail lounges, hotels,
accessory parking lots, and restaurants are permitted by right in
CBD-2 districts. Parking garages providing non-accessory off-
street parking spaces require conditional use approval.
Height, Area, and Bulk Requirements
Maximum FAR for mixed buildings ................................... 12
(max 13 with bonuses)
Maximum Height .......................................................... None
Minimum Open Space Ratio ........................................... 0.07
Maximum FAR (per property survey) ............. 1,270,380 sq.ft.
Existing FAR (WTC tower) ................................ 655,750 sq.ft.
Proposed FAR (including annex building) ......... 695,650 sq.ft.
Special Regulations
All developments of at least 50,000 square feet in aggregate
fl oor area are subject to site plan review under Section 16.7., and
to approval of a traffi c impact analysis under the provisions of
Section 6.12.
Special off-street parking standards apply in accordance with the
regulations in Section 15.2.
The provisions of both the Downtown Design Review District and
this district, in accordance with Section 10.10.
Off-Street Parking Requirements (per Table 15.C of the CZO)
Multi-family residential ......................... 50% of dwelling units
120 units provided required 60 spaces
Hotel ....................................................... 1 space per 3 rooms
307 keys provided required 103 spaces
Restaurant .................................. 1 space per 800 sf fl oor area
2062 sf provided required 5 spaces
Retail Store .......................................... 1 per 600 sf fl oor area
7531 SF provided required 13 spaces
Total Required Parking ........................................... 181 spaces
As part of our design proposal, we are providing 127 off-street
parking spaces. Additional required parking spaces will be
accommodated off-site in accordance with Section 15.2.7.9. Joint
Use and Off-Site Facilities.
Off-Street Loading Requirements (per Table 15-G of the CZO)
Hotel and Apartment Building 688,120 sq. ft. provided
100,000 200,000 SF 3 required
for each 100,000 sf over 200,000 1 additional (add 5)
Retail Store .................................................... 7530 sf provided
2,000 10,000 sf 1 required
Total Required Loading ............................................... 9 spaces
Total Provided .............. 2 spaces (variance of 7 spaces required)
Design Review District Requirements
(per Section 10.10 of the CZO)
The WTC site is located within a Downtown Design Review District.
In summary, this particular development must meet the following
design criteria:
Architectural details, materials, colors, textures and landscape
treatments should be coordinated to provide visual continuity,
quality and consistency throughout the zone with sufficient
diversity to create a lively and interesting skyline and streetscape.
Development frontage on the river side of Convention Center
Boulevard should be built to the property line and maintain a
consistent scale related to the scale of the building opposite.
Developments along Convention Center Boulevard should
provide for the pedestrian environment, where appropriate,
with the use of sheltered sidewalks, visually active ground level
facades in fronting development, arcade treatment, protective
landscaping, signage and clear convenient pedestrian crossings.
SUMMARY
Our proposal meets the requirements of the current CZO as outlined
above with the exception of Off-Street Loading Requirements,
which will require a variance per the provisions of Section 14.6.
Our design proposal specifi cally addresses the design criteria outlined
as part of the Downtown Design Review District and, in particular,
clearly establishes the creation of a strong pedestrian environment
with the addition of the annex building at the corner of Convention
Center Boulevard and Poydras Street. Here, we have maximized retail
frontage, provided a sheltered pedestrian environment by means of
cantilevering upper fl oors of the annex over the sidewalk to create
an arcade for sun and weather protection, and created a lively and
visually diverse faade treatment that provides a larger civic function
with regard to creating a fi tting terminus to Poydras Street.
The cantilevered projections over the sidewalk and public way are
proposed as a public benefi t, and will require incorporation into the
fi nal Lease Agreement with the City. While we see these elements
as a powerful addition to our project, our proposal is not ultimately
dependent on them and we would expect advancing discussions
with the City, as well as others having certain property rights (such
as Riverwalk), in order for us to realize this proposal.
Lastly, while the RFP specifi cally requests a summary based on
current zoning, we are also familiar with the requirements of the
draft CZO, and we look forward to working with City Planning to
coordinate our efforts with other agencies and authorities having
jurisdiction on the project.

FACADE ELEMENT
One of the signature design features of our proposal is a new
architectural element that forms a dramatic elevated terminus to
Poydras Street, one of the great commercial boulevards of New
Orleans.
Our design proposes a new, four-story annex building adjacent
to the WTC, located between the existing tower and the foot of
Poydras Street. This annex will defi ne the northern edge of English
Place, which functions as a roundabout at the end of Poydras. This
area is currently a disjointed collection of random design elements
that provide no order or clarity to the public realm. As a result
of this incremental accumulation of independently designed and
built elements, the terminus of Poydras Street lacks the necessary
cohesion or identity commensurate for such an important civic
space.
Our proposal clads the upper three fl oors of the new Conrad annex
building with a series of gold-anodized perforated metal panels.
These panels vary in perforation from more solid at the bottom to
more open at the top, where views from the ballroom pre-function
areas of the annex will be maximized. These perforated panels
also screen the parking levels below the ballroom and provide for
natural ventilation of the garage structure.
We propose expanding the use of this metal screen element and
continuing it around English Place to the Hilton Hotel Towers,
where it will provide a new faade above the current arrivals and
drop off location at the Hilton front door. By these means, this
dramatic architectural feature will organize and defi ne a new civic
plaza at the foot of Poydras Street.
This design element will incorporate state-of-the-art lighting and
kinetic, digital effects to bring drama, life, and a unifi ed sense
of identity to a space that has been sorely lacking same since its
creation. In addition to integrated LED lights for animated content,
there will also be opportunities for projected video art similar to
that experienced last year during LUNA Fete, where video images
were projected onto the faade of Gallier Hall.
We see this design proposal acting not only as a fi tting terminus to
Poydras Street, but also as a ceremonial gateway to Spanish Plaza, the
Riverwalk, and the Mississippi River beyond. It will become a critical
link in an expanded Central Riverfront, connecting the downtown
core of the City to a new Riverfront Plaza that commemorates and
celebrates the 300th anniversary of our great city.

Our proposal envisions the redevelopment of the 2 Canal Street as a
means to stimulate a much larger and compelling program of public
and private investment, with tremendous benefits to the City.
Elements of this larger coordinated plan contemplate the acquisition
of the ITM Parking Facility from the City by the Convention Center,
on terms acceptable to both parties, and exchanging between the
Hilton and Convention Center the strategic Whale Lot property
owned by Hilton Worldwide. From the standpoint of the City, the
positive results of this transaction would be dramatic. First, the
acquisition of the ITM Parking Facility unlocks the capacity of Hilton
to expand its Hilton Riverside Hotel complex. The resulting expanded
and improved hotel complex would be an added powerful tool for
citywide convention and meeting business.
More importantly, however, the potential acquisition of the Hilton
Whale Lot property by the Convention Center would allow the
Convention Center to achieve the long-held aspiration of expanding
the Convention Center on this property, to include state-of-the-art
exhibition and meeting space, substantial parking, and an expansive
plaza at the foot of Julia Street which would serve as a dramatic
entrance into both the Convention Center and the Riverwalk.
This unique expansion possibility, together with the exciting plans
which the Convention Center is developing upriver and along
Convention Center Boulevard, are literal game changers for the
marketability and national competitiveness of our Citys hospitality
industry. As we reach the 30th anniversary of this facility, this
comprehensive plan of redevelopment and expansion will allow
the Convention Center to continue to compete with competitive
facilities across the country.
The economic impact of this overall development plan would be
transformative for the City and for its hospitality industry. This plan
represents a huge move in the fulfi llment and realization of the
Boston Consulting Groups Hospitality Master Plan, carried out
under the leadership of then Lt. Governor Landrieu. That plan, which
envisions goals of over 13 million visitors and over $8 billion in visitor
spending, established several key building blocks for success. Among
these were turbo-charging the Central Riverfront, expanding and
reimagining the Convention Center, and adding to our hotel room
inventory. The development plan proposed by our team, all triggered
by our partnership with Hilton Worldwide and the redevelopment of
the 2 Canal Street into the Conrad New Orleans Hotel and Residences,
advances these core concepts in a unique, unprecedented, and
stunning fashion.
