Woodward Design+Build

08/11/2026

Nearly five years in the making. Today, we finally move forward.

Woodward is proud to be leading the specialized demolition of this long-blighted 350,000 SF property—clearing the way for future mixed-use development while transforming what lies below ground into something that will directly benefit New Orleans.

It’s more than demolition. It’s an opportunity to turn a longstanding challenge into infrastructure, investment, and a new future for the Bayou St. John corridor.

We’re proud to be part of this one. 🏗️🪏

At Woodward, our safety culture starts with awareness — taking the time to observe conditions, recognize risk, and look out for the people around us. During Safety Week 2026, teams across every jobsite focused on the mindset of Recognize. Respond. Respect. — reinforcing the daily habits, conversations, and accountability that keep our crews safe and our projects moving forward together.

Safety starts before the job ever begins, and that commitment continues every day on every site. 🦺 🌟
