Lincoln Beach Development

Year 2001 | Lincoln Beach, New Orleans

The Lincoln Beach Development was designed and developed under the concept of celebrating the location and history of Lincoln Beach and surrounding areas. The proposed development will encompass 25 acres of land bisected by Hayne Boulevard. To the northeast of Hayne and bordering Lake Pontchartrain is a 15 bordered by other properties on three sides and Hayne Boulevard to the fourth side.
The two parcels bifurcated by Hayne will be developed in fundamentally different manners reflective of the responding to the relationships of the parcels to the adjacent neighborhood, the physical relationship to Lake Pontchartrain, and the provisions of private and public spaces and building components. Hayne Boulevard, along with the adjacent levee and rail line, presents a natural division between a more private realm of lower scale residential related development to the southwest and a complex, urbanized, eclectic mix of public, entertainment, commercial, hotel and high-rise residential uses.

Norberto Nardi, AIA, development partner and conceptual designer of Lincoln Beach, traveled to the Netherlands to seek the services of the DHV Group in Holland. DHV is a leading international consultancy and engineering group which provides services and sustainable solutions for waterfront development.
