24 condos — some new, some restored — to be built on Ferry and Kirby in Midtown

Developer Julio Bateau of Nailah LLC is planning to restore 12 units and build an additional 12 units of infill called the Aida Condominium Association on two blocks on E. Ferry and Kirby between St. Antoine and the I-75 Service Drive.

Bateau will be restoring three, four-family flats. These units will be about 1,000 square feet with two bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths and cost about $150,000 each. The 12 new infill units will be constructed as six duplexes in a style reminiscent of the surrounding neighborhood, with brick exteriors with limestone accents. New units will range between 1,000 and 1,600 square feet with an average price of $225,000.

The first new units will be built at 430 E. Ferry, serving as a model for the infill to follow. New buildings, even though they will have dual occupancy, will have separate entrances, garages, and outdoor space.

“We want to close the gap, creating a gateway to the Cultural Center on the Ferry side,” comments Bateau on the main objective of the project.

Infill construction is expected to start in the spring, with a model complete in September. Restorations are planned to be complete in August
