37-acre facility developed as a state-of-the-art heliport in 1999. Situated along Highway 23 near Venice, Louisiana, the property provides direct access to offshore operations in the Gulf of America and industrial activity along the Mississippi River corridor. It is located minutes from Venice Port, a key staging point for offshore energy, marine logistics, and commercial fishing. The improvements total 22,735 SF, including 15,730 SF of office/terminal space and 7,005 SF of Class S warehouse space. The office/terminal area includes training rooms, offices, conference rooms, flex spaces, passenger areas, kitchen, bathrooms, and showers. A control tower provides operational oversight. The hangar features telescoping doors for large equipment and is equipped with three cranes (two 2-ton and one 8-ton) supporting handling and maintenance. A backup generator is on site but currently disconnected. The office/terminal roof was replaced after Hurricane Ida (2021), and the hangar roof was repaired at that time. The property includes aviation infrastructure to support helicopter operations, with concrete flyways along both sides and a dedicated aircraft parking area. The parking area includes electrical, water, and fuel connections for efficient staging and servicing. Subsurface lighting supports nighttime aviation activity, while light poles illuminate vehicle parking and support areas. The site offers extensive vehicle parking, and a portion is fenced. With its combination of office and warehouse facilities, aviation infrastructure, and 37 acres, the property offers flexibility for heliport operations, aviation uses, or industrial purposes. Existing infrastructure?including flyways, utility connections, cranes, hangar doors, and large stabilized parking?provides a functional base for aviation, logistics, or industrial users in Plaquemines Parish or for redevelopment.
