Stirling Expands Into Alabama

In 2014, Stirling opened its first Alabama office in downtown Mobile at 182 St. Francis Street. This strategic expansion marked a significant milestone in our growth across the Gulf South, establishing a presence along the eastern I-10 corridor.

Under the leadership of Will Barrois, the Mobile office served as a foundation for expanding our commercial real estate services throughout Alabama and into Florida, including acquisitions, development, brokerage, and property management.

Today, we continue to serve the region from our office in Daphne, building on the foundation established in Mobile.

Fremaux Town Center

From Concept to Cornerstone in Slidell

Launched in 2013, Fremaux Town Center began as a bold vision by Stirling to transform 350 acres at I-10 and Fremaux Avenue into a premier shopping destination. As Townsend Underhill, President & Chief Executive Officer of Stirling, shared at the time: “We believe this site has the characteristics to become a premier retail shopping destination…”

More than a decade later, that vision is a reality.

Fremaux Town Center is now a dynamic mixed-use hub—featuring industrial uses and anchored by Dillard’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Kohl’s, and Best Buy—with 640,000 SF of retail and dining, 296 luxury apartment homes at The Retreat, and a Springhill Suites by Marriott. Additional residential, retail, office, and industrial developments are also on the horizon.

Here’s to how far we’ve come—and the exciting future ahead.

Mid-City Market

As we celebrate 50 years of Stirling, we’re looking back at one of our most transformative projects: Mid-City Market in New Orleans, which broke ground in 2012.

Located at North Carrollton Avenue and Bienville Street, the 6.5-acre site was once an abandoned car dealership—one of the last blighted properties in the vibrant Carrollton Avenue corridor. Following Hurricane Katrina, the redevelopment was lauded as one of the most important private projects in the city’s recovery.

With a $31 million investment and a bold vision, Stirling transformed the site into a flagship, Winn-Dixie-anchored urban shopping center that helped breathe new life into Mid-City.

Today, Mid-City Market is home to Office Depot, Verizon Wireless, Jefferson Feed, Panera Bread, Felipe’s Taqueria, and more—a true testament to the power of adaptive reuse and community-focused development.

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.
