A new residential project is officially moving forward in the heart of downtown Lafayette.
According to our media partners at KATC, Developers received initial approval from the Lafayette City Planning Commission to redevelop the former Handy Stop property on Jefferson Street. The plan calls for demolishing the long-vacant building and replacing it with a 21-unit condominium complex.
Project Details: Condos and a Penthouse Airbnb
According to plans filed with the city, the project will include:
- 23 ground-level parking spaces
- Two floors of one-bedroom condominiums
- A top-floor five-bedroom penthouse intended for short-term rental use, including Airbnb
Developers say preserving the 113-year-old building is not possible due to its condition.
