General Electric is coming to New Orleans, and Corporate Realty is thrilled to play a small part in helping this great company find the best possible home in New Orleans.

On Friday of last week, GE announced that it will open the GE Capital Technology Center in New Orleans which will grow over the next 3 years to house 300 information technology professionals. This GE office will focus on developing new software, processes, and technology for GE’s financial services business, GE Capital. GE will ultimately lease and occupy approximately 60,000 sf of Class A office space in New Orleans.

Corporate Realty, in conjunction with Cushman & Wakefield, is pleased to be GE’s local tenant representative broker responsible for its office space search and related lease negotiations in New Orleans. According to Mike Siegel, Corporate Realty’s President, GE’s decision to locate such a high profile tech center in New Orleans not only validates and reaffirms New Orleans’ position as a world class business center but is a great testament to the benefits of a tremendous team effort between local and state political and business leaders.
