The Beacon at South Market in New Orleans

The EskewDumezRipple-designed Beacon is a 172,000-square-foot, seven-story residential building that takes its inspiration from the city’s historic French Quarter courtyard buildings.

The development is enhanced by 20,000 square feet of ground-floor retail which is integrated into the project.
