Build Baton Rouge plays a unique role in driving equitable real estate development across East Baton Rouge Parish. We support both residential and commercial projects with an emphasis on early-stage, high-impact investments that restore vitality to long-disinvested neighborhoods.
Whether acting as a co-developer or providing critical pre-development support, we leverage tools like gap financing, land banking, and corridor planning to unlock stalled sites and attract capital. We work hand-in-hand with developers, anchor institutions, and neighborhood partners to ensure that what gets built not only reflects community priorities but strengthens long-term economic and social outcomes.
We assist with site control, due diligence, planning, and entitlement to move projects from idea to shovel-ready.
We co-develop strategic housing, commercial, and mixed-use projects, often in underinvested corridors.
We provide catalytic financing tools and help align public, private, and philanthropic capital.
We focus on creating and preserving high-quality housing for a range of income levels.
We support projects that anchor neighborhood retail, small businesses, and community-serving infrastructure.
