Newport on the Levee

Challenge

The Newport on the Levee project required reimagining how a 360,000-square-foot property could function in a new era of experiential destinations. The existing retail center needed to be evaluated through a fresh lens, transforming underutilized space into an open-air environment that supported entertainment, community engagement, and a rotating mix of local vendors.

Vision

The vision was to reinvent Newport on the Levee as a vibrant Live, Work, and Play destination anchored by an active public realm and strong connection to the waterfront. The goal was to create a walkable, inviting environment that blended residential comfort with commercial performance, encouraging visitors to gather, linger, and return throughout the day.

Collaboration

LOTH partnered with Reztark and North American Properties to bring this ambitious transformation to life. Through close collaboration, the team leveraged the property’s existing strengths while reconfiguring spaces into multiple distinct zones that enhanced connectivity between the Gallery Building, streets, bridges, and the waterfront.

Result

The reimagined Newport on the Levee has evolved from a deserted retail center into a dynamic, connected waterfront community. With thoughtfully designed communal spaces and an energized public realm, the destination is now activated from sun-up to sun-down—delivering an enhanced guest experience and renewed vitality to the region.
