Report again shows huge demand for downtown housing. Meeting that demand might take a while.

By ADAM DAIGLE l Acadiana Business Editor​ ​ ​

Welcome to the Monday edition of the Acadiana Business Newsletter. Happy start to the week ahead of Easter. Let's just get to the headlines. 

On Tuesday you'll have a chance to hear from one of the experts behind the downtown Lafayette housing study, which has been updating its analysis every couple of years to determine the market for downtown residential.

No surprise here: It's still very strong.

So what's the next move? And how will that demand be met? There's some untangling to do before any of that happens. I dove in a bit on some of those would-be developments or developers.

Remember the massive Convent & Lee project? That's in a major holding pattern right now. 

Read the full story here.

Have a great day. Thank you for reading.
