he New Orleans Redevelopment Authority along with Co Developers, HRI Communities, LLC (“HRIC”) and New Orleans Restoration Properties (“NORP”), are proud to announce the grand opening of the St. Bernard Circle Apartments, a new mixed-use, mixed-income, sustainable, residential community located at 1431 St. Bernard Avenue across from the historic Circle Food Store in New Orleans’ storied 7th Ward.

The St. Bernard Circle Apartments, a transformative $22 million development, features a four-story building with 56,000 total square feet of residential and ground floor retail space. Of the 51 mixed-income units, 40 apartments are reserved for families earning at or below 60% of the area median income (AMI), with 16 of those units fulfilling the one-for-one replacement unit requirement of the HUD Iberville/Tremé Choice Neighborhoods Initiative Grant.

Designed with an emphasis on sustainability and disaster resilience, the St. Bernard Circle development is built for certification under Enterprise Green Communities, Energy Star and FORTIFIED Multifamily Gold standards. Amenities include a fitness center, community room, community park and performance stage fronting North Robertson Street, secure off-street parking, bike parking, and in-unit washers, dryers, and dishwashers.
