Standard Life Re-opens Today

The Standard Life Building in downtown Jackson re-opens its doors to new residents today.
September 1, 2010
After undergoing a $33.5 million restoration, the 1929 Standard Life Building on Roach Street in downtown Jackson re-opens its doors today to new residents.
After purchasing the vacant Art Deco building from the city in 2009, HRI properties of New Orleans remodeled it. The building now has 2,671 square feet of retail space and 76 apartment units. Twenty-seven of the apartments are already leased, and nine residents are scheduled to move in today.
Standard Life is owned, financed and operated with the King Edward as a single unit. Watkins Partners and former New Orleans Saints running back Deuce McAllister are partners in the development.

Any sort of retail/restaurant etc... located on the bottom floor? Just curious if any part of this building will be open to the public on a daily basis.
Go JXN!

@rnpolen, I was wondering the same thing! Hopefully some parts of this building will be open to the public so we can all enjoy this cool building!

Here's the URL: http://www.standardlifeflats.com/. Looks like apartments are going for $925 to $1,975.

Looked at the website. That's the stuff dreams are made of. A hot contemporary flat with a washer and dryer, cable included, pet friendly, trash chutes... Anybody got $925? :P
