Residential: Gentilly Neighborhood

In 2005, one of the strongest storms to hit the United States, Hurricane Katrina, devastated the city of New Orleans. SMS Development’s goal was to help rebuild, reconstruct and rejuvenate the city we call home. Following Katrina, we constructed over 100,000 sq ft of inter-field development in the Gentilly area.

SMS Development along with BOI Construction were among the first to acquire properties in the destroyed and deserted neighborhoods of the city, and in a two year period we restored the properties in the New Orleans area to provide rental housing for residents looking to return home. Our passion, combined with a history of success working with city officials and residents allows SMS Development to consistently stimulate economic revitalization and growth.
