Time Is Money. Don’t Waste It in the Parking Lot.
The lowest advertised rent isn’t always the lowest-cost office.
Every minute employees and executives spend finding parking, walking from distant parking, or getting into and out of the building is time the business is paying for.
At 824 Elmwood, approximately 250 free parking spaces, parking on all four sides and three convenient building entrances can help reduce that wasted time.
- 250Free Parking Spaces
- 6.3Spaces per 1,000 SF

Illustrative calculation only. Actual access times, employee compensation and time savings will vary by business and building. The calculator is intended to help tenants evaluate the potential value of parking and building-access convenience using their own assumptions.
Where Does the Time Go?
A few minutes may not seem important during a single trip. But employees and executives may enter and leave an office several times during the workday. Parking and building access are repeated every time.
Lunch Without Losing More Time Than Necessary
Employees often leave the office during the workday for lunch. Elmwood offers numerous nearby quick-service, fast-casual and restaurant options, making it practical to leave, eat and return.
At 824 Elmwood, employees return to surface parking surrounding the building rather than first navigating a remote parking area or separate parking garage.
Meetings, Appointments and Daily Trips
Owners, executives and employees may leave for client meetings, appointments or errands and return to the office several times during the day.
Every trip repeats the parking and building-access process. Easier access can save small amounts of time repeatedly throughout the year.
An Easier Commute Can Make Coming to the Office Easier
For employers encouraging employees to work in the office, commute convenience can matter.
824 Elmwood provides practical access for employees and clients coming from Metairie, Harahan, River Ridge, Kenner, Uptown New Orleans, Mid-City, Lakeview, the New Orleans CBD and West Bank communities.
Nearby roadway connections include Earhart Expressway, Clearview Parkway, I-10 and the Huey P. Long Bridge.
Actual commute times vary by starting point, time of day, traffic and road conditions.
Convenient West Bank Access
824 Elmwood is also positioned for employees and clients coming from the West Bank through the Huey P. Long Bridge corridor, including communities such as Westwego, Marrero, Harvey and Gretna.
Your Office Costs More Than Its Rent
A lower advertised rental rate does not necessarily mean a lower total cost of occupying an office.
At 824 Elmwood, $21.50/SF full-service rent includes utilities, janitorial service and after-hours HVAC, with no separate CAM charges and no base-year operating-expense increases.
When comparing buildings, consider rent, parking, building access, employee time and the everyday convenience of the location.
Test the Difference When You Tour
When comparing office buildings:
- 1Park where an employee would normally park.
- 2Time the walk from the car to the suite.
- 3Time how long it takes to leave the suite and get back to the car.
- 4Repeat the same test at the other buildings you are considering.
The difference may seem small during one visit. Multiply it by employees, executives, daily trips and years in the lease, and it can become meaningful.
