Pan-American Life Center
In 2010, Stirling acquired the iconic Pan-American Life Center — a 28-story, granite-clad Class A office tower located at 601 Poydras Street in the heart of New Orleans’ Central Business District.
Designed by the renowned firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and completed in 1980, this 600,000-square-foot landmark is a testament to modernist design and urban prominence.
This acquisition marked a pivotal moment in Stirling’s history, reinforcing our commitment to shaping the city’s skyline and contributing to its economic vitality.
Milestone Moment – 2011
In 2011, we expanded into multifamily with our first acquisitions in Baton Rouge and Lafayette. This marked a new chapter for Stirling, adding Multifamily to our service lines.
From brokerage to investment services, our multifamily team continues to deliver value through insight, relationships, and results!
Here’s to the deals that shaped our journey—and the ones still to come.
Stirling 50 Years | Milestone Moment: 2006
In 2006, we acquired Hammond Square Mall with a bold vision to reimagine it—and it became the largest redevelopment in our company’s history at the time.
Today, it’s a vibrant open-air shopping destination and a true example of the impact thoughtful redevelopment can have on a community. Press play to see the transformation!
Jimmy Maurin
In the mid-2000s, Stirling’s own Jimmy Maurin served as Chairman of the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) from 2004–2005, while also leading as Chairman of the Board at Stirling.
With decades of experience in commercial real estate, Jimmy helped shape the future of retail and community development through his leadership, vision, and dedication to innovation.
His impact at both Stirling and ICSC continues to inspire how we grow today.
2002: A Bullseye Moment in Our History
In 2002, we hit a major milestone with the development of our very first Target store. This flagship project not only marked a new era for Stirling—it laid the foundation for seven more Target-anchored shopping centers across the Gulf South.
What began as one bold move has grown into a powerful retail footprint serving communities across the region.
Milestone Moment: 2001
As we celebrate 50 Years of Stirling, we’re proud to look back on the pivotal projects that helped shape our legacy. In 2001, we developed our first Walgreens in Hammond, Louisiana—a major step following the successful development of several Eckerd Drug Stores.
That single project marked the beginning of a 15-year run, during which we developed over 20 Walgreens locations across Louisiana and Mississippi, expanding access to healthcare and convenience for countless communities.
Here’s to the deals that built us and the decades still to come.
