Not sure if it happened yesterday or today but I see a lot of people taking about it on social media.

He’s a New Orleans businessman for people not familiar with him.

His family and/or business associates?

You’re probably familiar with the real estate he owns. He famously owns the falling apart plaza tower in New Orleans.


Not sure what this means for the building, but hopefully it sparks a sale and eventual demolition.

Mr. Jaeger began as an apprentice plumber in NO and ended up as a prominent developer.

His life story is what America is all about.

"Jaeger was the owner of the largest group of hotels in Greater New Orleans, including the Jung Hotel and the Bourbon Orleans. Jaeger also owned the Plaza Tower. He put the building up for sale in 2023, nine years after he purchased it." LINK

Jaeger’s on West End was the OG Sunday afternoon party place circa 90s /2000…. Used to see Al Copeland pull up in his speedboat quite often.. danced with former Saints part-owner Rita Benson there.. was probably owned by different Jaeger though .

A shame he didn’t bow out and retire a few years back. His legacy is marred by all these big projects that didn’t go anywhere instead of the plumber turned tycoon

The party there went back a long tine before the 90's. HS buddy worked there in the 70's.

Yes it was, but Joe didn't own the restaurant.

He will be missed, he did plenty of good for the city.

He's a POS that buys properties that says he'll develop and then sit on them for years to flip them.

I more blame New Orleans politicians for allowing him to do this for all these years.

So who's the richest Developer in New Orleans now?
