Ground Breaking: Holiday Inn Gulfport, Mississippi

Stirling is thrilled to announce the groundbreaking of a brand-new Holiday Inn Hotel on Beach Drive in Gulfport, MS, a project proudly brought to life entirely by native Mississippians! This stunning 5-story, 113-room hotel, complete with a pool, restaurant, cabanas, and sweeping Gulf views, rises on a 2-acre lot that has stood vacant since Hurricane Katrina. Today, it symbolizes resilience, renewal, deep local, pride and commitment to community.

From real estate and development to architecture and engineering, every hand that touched this vision is homegrown. Special recognition to the outstanding partners and principals:

J&R Properties ~ The Salloum Group

Bellamare Development

This project marks a milestone in Gulfport’s continued recovery, economic growth, and tourism industry. Congratulations to Melissa Warren, CCIM, who had the property listed and introduced the parties that formed the joint venture behind this exciting development. Here’s to building a brighter, stronger Mississippi Gulf Coast, together.
