NEW ORLEANS - An abandoned Uptown school is being transformed into luxury condos, set to open next month. Developers say all 12 units of the old LaSalle Elementary quickly sold, even before they were listed.
Tyler Thompson snagged the last one.
“We went through every house in the block,” said Thompson. “It took us two years to find the right thing.”
Thompson, a movie producer, moved to New Orleans two years ago and opted to move Uptown because he feels safe there.
