LOCATION The Chalmette Terminal and Industrial Park is located one mile downriver from the Arabi Terminal (mile 90.5 AHP). Chalmette Terminal encompasses 216 acres of land with more than 1.8 million square feet of building space, 150 acres of open land and over 20,000 square feet of office space available for leasing. Recently, several buildings have been redesigned and rehabilitated for leasing to major clients. The site is fully equipped with all necessary utilities including electricity, gas, water, and sewerage. Almost any requirement for water and power can be met. High pressure natural gas crosses the site. FUTURE PLANS Rehabilitations of several buildings are continuing on a "rehab or build to suit" based on tenant requirements. Recently, the site was selected by five new lessees thus increasing the total tenants to over 24 firms. BRIEF HISTORY OF CHALMETTE TERMINAL The Chalmette Terminal was purchased by St. Bernard Port from Kaiser Aluminum in January 1989.
