Chipping In For Charity
Local charities score big during
Stirling Properties’ Annual Stirling Invitational Golf Tournament
Stirling Properties hosted its 18th Annual Stirling Invitational Golf Tournament on Monday, October 8th at University Club Plantation in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This year’s tournament successfully raised more than $25,000 for local charities!
113 participants enjoyed a variety of friendly competitions in addition to 18 holes of scramble golf tournament play. Congratulations to the 1st Place Low Net winners, Stuart Bonaventure, Ryan Juneau, BJ Branigan and Trent Sandahl. The Low Gross winning team included Andy Coleman, David Laizer, Tommy Buckel and Dennis Shill.
The Longest Drive award went to Marc Bourgeois, and Closest to the Pin prizes were presented to Eric Landry, Paul Geyer and Chip Songy. Additional awards were given for 2nd, 3rd and 4th Low Gross and Low Net. A special shout out to the Highest Gross scoring team, William McKnight, Beau Egan, Elliot Turner and Neal Choppin.
However, the real winners of the day were the local nonprofit organizations that benefited from the tournament proceeds. Ochsner Foundation received $10,000 from the proceeds, and the remaining profits will be distributed to various local charitable causes.
Representatives from Ochsner Foundation were on hand to receive a check for their contributions. Grady Brame, Executive Vice President with Stirling Properties, presented a check to Louisa Post, Ochsner Foundation’s Director of Development for Baton Rouge, during an awards celebration and cocktail reception following the tournament. Rick Perry, President and CEO of Tiger Athletic Foundation, was also presented with a $1,000 check to TAF for the LSU Golf Team.
“A great time—for a great cause—was had by all. We are fortunate to be able to play such an outstanding course, and to have the opportunity to help raise funds for local nonprofit organizations that are doing critical work in our community,” said Brame. “We could not accomplish all of this without the generosity of our tournament sponsors. We want to thank all of our sponsors and everyone who came out to support our event.”
The Stirling Invitational Golf Tournament has contributed more than $239,000 to numerous organizations over the past 18 years.
Thank you to all of our friends and supporters who participated and contributed to the Stirling Invitational Golf Tournament. This event would not be possible without you.

HOTWORX is heating up across the country
Early last year, Stirling Properties was selected to exclusively represent HOTWORX, a new-to-market fitness concept, in its aggressive expansion efforts across the U.S.
To date, Stirling Properties is excited to announce that 40 HOTWORX locations have been leased, and 50 more are expected by the end of the year. Our brokers are anticipating more than 100 new locations in the pipeline per year over the next five years!
Joe Gardner, CCIM, and Thomas Bryan, Stirling Properties’ Sales and Leasing Executives, are the exclusive national tenant rep brokers for HOTWORX. Utilizing the Retail Brokers Network (RBN) and the local knowledge of individual brokers across the country, this dynamic duo is working diligently to secure the perfect national retail locations for the new fitness concept—the ideal space required is between 1,500-2,500 square feet.
HOTWORX—founded in New Orleans, LA—is revolutionizing the fitness industry by providing the ultimate hot exercise experience and is the first to launch a 24/7 business franchise model through the use of its proprietary patent-pending technology. It is a virtually instructed exercise program created for users to experience the many benefits of infrared heat absorption, while completing a 30-minute isometric workout or 15-min high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session. As the infrared heat penetrates the body, the isometric postures further accelerate detoxification by physically removing toxins from organs through muscle contraction.
Currently, the company has locations in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas. Future studio sites also include locations in the greater New Orleans area and surrounding Gulf Coast region. For a complete list of HOTWORX stores, click here.
“Our HOTWORX fitness concept is rapidly expanding. We are happy to continue our partnership with Stirling Properties, a proven leader in the real estate industry, to grow our business across the nation. We are still seeking franchisees for various business opportunities and will be announcing new HOTWORX locations soon,” said Stephen Smith, HOTWORX CEO.
“Stirling Properties is proud of our successful partnership with HOTWORX—a company that was founded right here in New Orleans. This unique concept is growing in popularity across the nation and is quickly becoming a leading fitness provider,” said Bryan. “Landlords and property owners are attracted to this type of tenant, not only for its ability to backfill empty retail space but also for its ability to drive traffic to neighboring stores. We look forward to announcing many more locations in communities across the U.S.”

Stirling Properties Forms Investment Advisors Division
Stirling Properties commercial real estate company is expanding its depth of services in the Gulf South region through the formation of an Investment Advisors Division. The company’s acquisition, disposition, and investment sales efforts will be consolidated under one departmental umbrella.
Marty Mayer, President & CEO of Stirling Properties, said, “Evolution in the commercial real estate industry is creating rapid change, increasing the need for professional real estate advice and guidance for investors and property owners. Deepening our services through the formation of an Investment Advisors Division will help us to better elevate, promote, and brand the capabilities of Stirling Properties in this arena.”
Stirling Properties’ Investment Advisors Division will be led by Beezie Landry, Vice President of Investment Advisors. Landry began his career at Stirling Properties more than 17 years ago. Over the last few years, he has been responsible for the acquisition and disposition of nearly $500 million of investment assets in Louisiana and Mississippi, focusing on single and multi-tenant retail and medical office. He has represented a wide range of client types including private and institutional investors and has completed transactions with REITs such as Weingarten Realty Investors, General Growth, VEREIT, Realty Income, and AEI Funds.
Stirling Properties’ Investment Advisors also welcomes seasoned professional Chad Rigby, CCIM, as Managing Director-Multifamily Sales. Previously, Rigby worked with Stream Realty, ARA Newmark, and most recently, with Rigby Advisors where he was responsible for all aspects of multifamily investment sales from transaction management, valuation, market analysis, and underwriting, to client development throughout Louisiana and Mississippi. He has transacted over $500 million, totaling approximately 7,000 units. Rigby holds a B.S. in International Trade and Finance from Louisiana State University and is a licensed real estate associate broker in Louisiana and Mississippi.
In addition, three other Stirling Properties’ agents will become part of Stirling Properties’ Investment Advisors. Jeff Barnes, CCIM, has been named Senior Investment Advisor, and will work from the company’s Mobile office; Saban Sellers has been named Investment Advisor-Multifamily, and will work from the New Orleans office; and Griffin Lennox will serve as Investment Advisor and Analyst, working from the Northpark office in Covington.
“Our vision for Stirling Properties’ Investment Advisors is to build one cohesive team with specific expertise across all property types that will add tremendous value for our clients,” said Landry. “I am proud to say that we have assembled a fully integrated team consisting of advisors, analysts, and marketing specialists with unsurpassed local market knowledge and a proven track record of results.”
“I am incredibly excited to join the team at Stirling Properties and work with them to build a new and robust Investment Advisors Division. My background in multifamily investments will help to benefit a diverse range of clients,” said Rigby.
