Nestled in the heart of Mid City Baton Rouge, Electric Depot provides a unique variety of lifestyle and social opportunities in a centralized location, exposing and uplifting the existing spirit, character and vitality of its storied property. BRECO powered the entire street railway and bus, electric lighting, power and gas business in Baton Rouge, and the electric lighting and power business in 4
6 adjacent communities. The company’s tireless expansion efforts, progressive initiatives and careful consideration of the needs of its citizens have a symbiotic relationship to Baton Rouge’s development into a modern city. Much like the Baton Rouge Electric Company innovators rallied together to provide the city with a service pertinent to its growth, developers and compatible tenants will now come together in the same location (in a new era) and fulfill the capital city’s need for a different type of experience. Picking up where BRECO left off, Electric Depot will serve as catalyst for redevelopment and socialization between downtown east and Mid City, turning on the lights for that section of Government Street (so to speak). Curating an exciting and inviting atmosphere for everyone aligns with a new American ideal; where better to do it than a property that is synonymous with up-and-coming services? Think of it less as a beginning and more as a new chapter in the story of 1509 Government Street.
