American Can was once an industrial area where over 1,500 workers made cans for storage of oil, beer, paint, carbonated beverages, and coffee. This luxury property is on the National Register of Historic Places and has been restored according to the preservation guidelines established by the Secretary of Interior.

This gated community features six buildings housing 268 apartments consisting of one, two, and three bedroom apartment homes ranging from 660 sq.ft. - 1,625 sq.ft. All of the floor plans are unique and reveal original architecture.

All apartments overlook the New Orleans skyline, Bayou St. John or the courtyard.

The interiors offer 13 foot ceilings with the original wall to wall windows, washer, dryer, fully equipped kitchens, internet access, and enhanced cable television service. Preservation guidelines have caused the original signage, existing brick walls, cypress wood beams, and concrete and wood columns to be retained. The retention of these elements, combined with the uniqueness of the structure itself, result in a wide variety of available floor plans.

The community offers a fitness center, swimming pool, picnic area, and a 24-hour business center equipped with computers, fax, and copy access. The entertainment center offers audio and visual conferencing capabilities.
