Hammond Square Self Storage is a 93,902-square-foot self-storage facility located just off the corner of US Highway 51 (SW Railroad Avenue) and West Minnesota Park Road. The facility is comprised of 626 climate-controlled units and 15 RV / boat storage units, all with gated access. The 3-story building provides extra security and state-of-the-art amenities.

Stirling Properties has been at the forefront of commercial real estate investment and development in Hammond and surrounding areas of Southeast Louisiana for more than 43 years. Tangipahoa Parish is experiencing significant growth, creating a high demand for self-storage services. Hammond Square Self Storage’s strategic location near Hammond Square retail center and I-12 will provide easy access and convenience for customers.
“We are thrilled to welcome everyone to Hammond Square Self Storage, Hammond’s newest storage facility. As you look around this impressive, state-of-the-art building, you can clearly see how far storage facilities have evolved. Hammond Square Self Storage will be a great amenity to serve the growing population of Tangipahoa Parish,” said Maurin.
“Stirling Properties is excited to officially celebrate the grand opening of Hammond Square Self Storage. This project was our first ground-up, climate-controlled storage development, and we are extremely proud of this facility,” said Brame. “We are grateful for the continued cooperation of the City of Hammond and other local area officials who helped us bring this to fruition. And we truly thank the residents of Hammond and surrounding areas of Tangipahoa Parish who support Hammond Square. We are confident that this new storage facility will be a great addition to the property.”
Stirling Properties also redeveloped the neighboring Hammond Square shopping center, located on the northwest corner of Interstate 12 and Hwy. 51 (SW Railroad Ave.) in Hammond, LA.

Retail Market Survey: Shreveport-Bossier City, LA
Stirling Properties releases its Shreveport-Bossier City Retail Market Survey for mid-year 2018.
According to the assessment—compiled by Stacy Odom and Karen McElroy, Broker Associates with Stirling Properties—the Shreveport–Bossier City retail sector is currently in the midst of a recovery phase. After experiencing a period of increased retail vacancy, the area is seeing the entry of new discount retailers, new-to-market retailers and food concepts, as well as multi-store operators gobbling up available inventory of second-generation space. Without notable new development in the market, this aids in decreasing vacancy rates, particularly among neighborhood shopping centers.
The retail market survey identified a total of fifty-seven (57) multi-tenant retail centers with a minimum of twenty thousand (20,000) square feet in Shreveport-Bossier City with 90% total occupancy as of mid-year 2018.
Looking to the future, the emergence of healthcare facilities in retail settings and the potential for mixed-use redevelopment projects backfilling big-box stores are both noteworthy national trends expected to influence the Shreveport-Bossier City market, possibly having an additional impact on retail space moving forward.

This report is intended to give the reader a broad understanding of the market as well as specific information about the available square footage, occupancy and rental rates of each retail center greater than twenty thousand (20,000) square feet. It was created to be a resource for agents as well as tenants, landlords, developers, lenders, fellow brokers and anyone else looking for information about the Shreveport-Bossier City retail market.

Loft18, founded in New Orleans, Louisiana, is an innovative, interactive golf concept featuring custom-built, state-of-the-art Full Swing Golf simulators that showcase nearly 100 championship courses to deliver precision play at its finest for golfers of all experience levels. And for non-golfers, Loft18’s full-service bar and restaurant offers gastro-pub fare, craft beer and cocktails, and New Orleans’ famous service and hospitality.
This marks the second retail location for Loft18. It will occupy approximately 6,950 square feet of space located at 2313 Edwards Street on the western endcap of The Shops at Sawyer Yards. Buildout is underway, and it is expected to open in the summer of 2019.

“After researching and scouting various locations, we decided to expand the Loft18 concept to The Shops at Sawyer Yards because of the unique property offerings and access to the growing local population,” said Greg Whitman, President/Owner of Loft18. “We are excited to open our doors next summer and to deliver the ultimate indoor golfing experience—complete with award-winning golf simulators and club-level dining and drinking—to the Houston area. Whether you like golf or not, you will have a good time at Loft18.”
The Loft18 concept came about four years ago by three long-time friends with backgrounds in hospitality, sales and entertainment and a fervent love for the game. Seeing a niche in the golf entertainment industry, the group opened its first location on Metairie Road in Metairie, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans last fall.
Now, the company is planning expansion in several major markets across the country, as well as developing external partnership opportunities in other areas such as Dallas, Nashville, Chicago and Atlanta to name a few.
Lauren Ryan and Thomas Bryan, Sales and Leasing Executives with Stirling Properties, represented Loft18 in securing the historic Houston location, along with Bruce Wallace and Radkey Jolink with CBRE out of Houston, TX.
“Stirling Properties is thrilled to represent Loft18 in their expansion efforts, and to help facilitate the process of identifying and establishing relationships with co-brokers in other markets to scout out the ideal locations for this exceptional company,” said Ryan. “Loft18 was the first locally-owned golf simulation and entertainment complex in the New Orleans area, and they are setting the course for a unique entertainment experience that will be highly successful in any market.”
