Stirling Properties To Renovate Seville Plaza in Hammond, Louisiana
Stirling Properties announces the $1 million-plus exterior renovation project of Seville Plaza, a 187,000-square-foot Albertsons-anchored retail center located at 1905 West Thomas Street in Hammond, Louisiana.
Construction has commenced on the property. Plans for the project include extensive façade renovations and overall exterior improvements for the retail buildings. In addition, both of the large pylon signs will be upgraded for enhanced visibility.
The renovation of the shopping center is planned to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2019. Stirling Properties is working diligently to minimize disruptions for the existing retail tenants and their customers during this period.
Seville Plaza was initially built in 1983 as a Walmart and Albertsons-anchored shopping center. Upon Walmart’s relocation, the space was subdivided into a multi-tenant retail building including Aaron’s, BigLots, and Planet Fitness. The center is currently 87% leased. Other tenants are Adobe Cantina & Salsa, The Old School, Hair Senses, GNC and The UPS Store.
Aaron’s has recently agreed to a lease extension of its space that will also include interior renovations of the store, and Adobe Cantina & Salsa is working on plans for a full facelift of the restaurant that will be forthcoming. Last year, Stirling Properties demolished the 45,000-square-foot former Piccadilly building on the property and is currently marketing that parcel for sale or lease to likely include a future restaurant.
Stirling Properties manages and leases the property. It is owned by Seville Plaza LLC.
“Seville Plaza has become a community staple in the heart of Hammond’s retail corridor—and we are excited to begin this renovation project. The center will still offer the same great mix of tenants, but these improvements to the overall aesthetics of the property will make it more modern and better positioned to serve the surrounding community for many more years to come,” said Grady Brame, Executive Vice President of Stirling Properties.
Stirling Properties manages more than 20.3 million square feet of property across the Gulf South region, including retail, office, industrial, medical, residential, and mixed-uses. Other notable Stirling Properties projects in the area include Hammond Square, Hammond Square Self Storage, and Palace Centre East.

“Cornerview Plaza is ideally situated in the heart of Gonzales’s primary retail corridor, drawing shoppers from numerous surrounding communities. This center offers great visibility and foot traffic for tenants—which helped us to secure these national retailers. Ross, Marshalls, ULTA and Five Below all have locations in nearby Baton Rouge, proving that this is a thriving multi-store region that can support high retail demand,” said Pécot.

‘Tis the Season for Giving!
For it is in giving that we receive. –Francis of Assisi
Team Stirling Properties once again teamed up with Volunteers of America to participate in the Christmas Wish “Angel” Project. For the 7th year, our company donated Christmas gifts and other essential items to local families in need across our Gulf South region.
The annual Christmas Wish Project helped bring joy and holiday cheer to families and individuals who might not have had a Christmas this year. Through Volunteers of America (VOA), participating families submitted “wish list” gift items for each individual. The wishes were noted on paper angels and hung on the company Christmas tree where Stirling Properties and employees could select and grant them. In all, 11 families and more than 60 children, adults and seniors received Christmas gifts.
Stirling Properties’ Stewardship Committee organized the company-wide events by partnering with Volunteers of America in Greater New Orleans, Greater Baton Rouge and the Southeast to serve the New Orleans Northshore and Southshore, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and Mobile communities.
In addition to donating gifts to the Christmas Wish Project, Stirling Properties hosted its fourth annual Northpark Christmas Bazaar, Bake Sale & Raffle on Thursday, November 29th. Local vendors, as well as employees of the Northpark office complex sold baked goodies, crafts, jewelry, ornaments, artwork, beauty products and many other great gift items.
The Christmas Bazaar raised $3,000 which was also donated in full to Volunteers of America to assist more families in our area with emergency holiday needs.
Team Stirling Properties also held a ‘Tis The Season Day,’ where employees donated money for the opportunity to wear their favorite Stirling gear to work (or Saintsmas gear, of course!). The day raised $315 that will benefit the VOA Christmas Wish Project as well.
The Holiday Season is a time for gratitude, generosity and giving back to our region. Stirling Properties is committed to supporting the communities where we live and work, and we will continue to support local nonprofits, community groups and charitable organizations throughout the year and beyond.
Thank you to all of the vendors, donors and shoppers who made this project a huge success. On behalf or Stirling Properties, we wish you and yours a joyous Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!

Stirling Properties and St. Tammany Parish community leaders celebrate the groundbreaking of the new Dana Incorporated (NYSE: DAN) Service and Assembly Center at Fremaux Park in Slidell, Louisiana. A formal turning-of-the-dirt ceremony was held with Honorable Pat Brister, St. Tammany Parish President; Honorable Greg Cromer, Mayor of Slidell; Ed Greif, General Manager of Off-highway for the Americas with Dana Incorporated; Don Shea, CEO of East St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce; and Townsend Underhill, President of Development with Stirling Properties. Fremaux Park is the mixed-use property surrounding the Fremaux Town Center retail development.
Stirling Properties is developing the nearly 32,000-square-foot industrial facility located at the corner of Town Center Parkway and Old Spanish Trail for Dana. The new site will house the relocation and expansion of its service and assembly center, which specializes in repairing and refurbishing large-scale industrial gearboxes. The company’s current operations in Slidell will transition to the larger facility to meet the growing demand for industrial gearbox service, repair, and refurbishment.
Construction on the site began in November and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2019. Bradley Cook, Sales & Leasing Executive with Stirling Properties, worked with the company to identify and secure the location.

Dana supports the passenger vehicle, commercial truck, and off-highway markets, as well as industrial and stationary equipment applications. Founded in 1904, Dana employs more than 30,000 people in 33 countries on six continents.
“Dana in Slidell has a highly experienced team of service and repair professionals who are committed to meeting the needs of our customers,” said Dave Hunt, director of service and manufacturing operations for Dana Off-highway Drive and Motion Technologies. “This new facility will grow our service and repair business, while expanding our capabilities to manufacture gears on-site, reducing lead times for our customers.”
“A project of this scope—with projected growth to double in size and employment—this is a tremendous opportunity for Slidell and the entire parish,” said Greg Cromer, Mayor of Slidell. “Fremaux Park is a great development with retail, residential, and business all combined. It’s what we want to do—live, work, and play in one place. This is exactly how we want to grow our community, and this is how we are going to do it. We thank Dana for helping to lift up our community and becoming a good corporate partner, and we look forward to a long relationship with them.”
“I want to thank Dana Incorporated for choosing Slidell — and St. Tammany Parish, to locate this facility. We know you have a choice and we appreciate you choosing us. We look forward to the economic invigoration and diversity this facility will spur,” said Pat Brister, St. Tammany Parish President. “We appreciate the upcoming employment opportunities for our educated and ready workforce. We look forward to a good working relationship with Dana.”
“Stirling Properties is thrilled to welcome Dana to Fremaux Park and celebrate the groundbreaking of this site,” said Townsend Underhill, President of Development with Stirling Properties. “This is a huge economic win for Slidell and the surrounding greater New Orleans region. Dana is a world-wide company with a global footprint. This new facility will be a unique operation nationally—and the building was designed with ample flex space to allow for future expansion. We look forward to working with Dana and having them as an anchor tenant in the Fremaux Park development.”
Fremaux Park is part of the roughly 350-acre regional mixed-use development located at the southwest corner of Interstate 10 and Fremaux Avenue in Slidell, Louisiana. It includes Retreat at Fremaux Town Center’s 296 luxury residential apartment units, Saltgrass Steak House (coming soon), and Springhill Suites by Marriott soon under construction. Additional phases are coming soon with added residential, retail, industrial, and office park. The adjoining Fremaux Town Center, anchored by Dillard’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Kohl’s, and Best Buy, includes more than 640,000 square feet of retail and restaurant options.
