At the ICSC Las Vegas Conference in May 2024, DDD President & CEO Davon Barbour sat down with podcast host and JLL Director of Research James Cook to discuss the future of Downtown New Orleans on the retail real estate podcast “Where We Buy.”
Their joint episode, released in early July, focuses on Downtown New Orleans’ commercial appeal, the importance of public-private partnerships, and the support DDD provides to small businesses and retailers throughout the District.
Barbour also speaks to his vision for the retail future of Downtown, one that he sees as rife with innovative commerce, local entrepreneurship, and a national retailer presence. As he highlights in the discussion, the diversity of the District—from the entertainment of its Sports District to the culture of its Arts District—makes it the perfect place to capture this variety of retail offerings and commercial opportunities.
