International Trade Mart

The organization was founded in 1946, and merged with International House in 1968, when it was renamed to World Trade Center New Orleans.

In 1968, the WTCNO moved into a purpose-built 33-story building at 2 Canal Street, designed by architect Edward Durell Stone.

[4] In 2018, the city announced that the building would be redeveloped into a hotel and apartment complex, set to open in 2021.

[5] The World Trade Center New Orleans organization has offices in a nearby building, One Canal Place.

The mart satisfied a longstanding ambition for an institution that could exhibit commodities and could provide a setting where buyer and seller could meet easily in New Orleans.
