Stirling Acquires Two Prominent Office Buildings in Baton Rouge
Stirling Acquires Two Prominent Office Buildings in Baton Rouge
Stirling has acquired two Prominent office buildings in Baton Rouge, Louisiana: Acadian Centre and Citiplace I, closing on the transactions in December 2025. The acquisition reinforces Stirling’s long-term commitment to Baton Rouge and expands its presence within one of the city’s most established office submarkets.
Together, the two properties total approximately 156,600 square feet and were 83.5 percent occupied at the time of acquisition. Both buildings are well-located, high-quality assets with stable tenancy and well-located within the market.
Acadian Centre, located at 2431 S. Acadian Thruway, is a six-story office tower situated on 4.6 acres at the intersection of Interstate 10 and South Acadian Thruway. The 74,589-square-foot building was 85 percent occupied at closing and is home to a diverse mix of tenants.
Citiplace I, located at 2600 Citiplace Drive, is a five-story office building constructed in 2003. The 82,023-square-foot property was 82 percent occupied at acquisition and includes a strong roster of public and private-sector tenants, including multiple federal agencies as well as nationally recognized professional services firms.
“This acquisition aligns with our strategy of investing in well-located, high-quality properties that serve strong tenant bases in established markets throughout the Gulf South,” said Beezie Landry, Managing Director, Stirling Investment Advisors. “We continue to see opportunity in the Baton Rouge market and remain confident in the long-term fundamentals of the office sector.”

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
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.
