Commercial Real Estate Financing in Baton Rouge, LA

Baton Rouge is the capital of Louisiana and the second-largest metro in the state, with a CRE economy anchored by petrochemicals (ExxonMobil's Baton Rouge complex is one of the largest refinery and chemical operations in the United States), state government, Louisiana State University, and a deepwater port on the Mississippi River. Major industrial employers include Dow Chemical, Shell, Albemarle, and a long roster of midstream and chemical processors along the Mississippi River industrial corridor. Healthcare anchors include Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, Ochsner Health, and Baton Rouge General. Multifamily and student housing demand is supported by LSU's enrollment of more than 40,000 students.
