Town Center Parkway Aerial

Today, Mayor Freddy Drennan joined representatives from the Louisiana Department of Transportation (LADOTD), Omni Pinnacle and Stirling Properties to celebrate the opening of Town Center Parkway in Slidell, Louisiana.

Town Center Parkway now connects two of Slidell’s Interstate 10 interchanges, Old Spanish Trail through Fremaux Town Center to Fremaux Avenue.

“The opening of the Town Center Parkway is a great benefit to our citizens as it provides easier access to Fremaux Town Center and other undeveloped properties. It is another main thoroughfare that connects north and south Slidell,” said Slidell Mayor Freddy Drennan. “I would like to thank Omni Pinnacle as the contractor for this project and Stirling Properties, the Louisiana Department of Transportation, Regional Planning Commission and Development and St. Tammany Parish Government for their assistance.”

LADOTD District 62 Administrator Allison Schilling added, “I am pleased that this much needed project, which connects US 190 Business to LA 433 is complete. It is so important that we continue to move forward with infrastructure projects that help drive economic development throughout our region.”

The completion of Town Center Parkway also opens up an additional 200 acres for development to compliment Fremaux Town Center including retail, office, residential and hospitality. For more information regarding the development please contact Dan Tate at dtate@stirlingprop.com or 504-523-4481.

Never Cross the Streams, It Would Be Bad

Just as with proton streams when battling apparitions, banshees, phantoms or poltergeists, you don’t ever want to cross your store’s wifi with your public wifi.

What’s the issue?  We have a perfectly good Internet connection that we use for our business computers, cash registers and automation systems, why not open it up to the public so that we can attract more business to our store?  Really, you’re just trying to enrich the cable companies by making us buy another Internet connection for our customers.  And the national outfit that wants the contract to install public wifi at our mall says that they can firewall the public wifi from our business cash registers without a problem.  Cross their collective hearts and hope to die, they do this all the time and they never have a problem.

The first issue is that the sales lady from that national outfit would probably throw her own mother under the bus to get you to sign the contract.  The second issue is that firewalls are software with vulnerabilities that can be hacked – firewalls are better than nothing, but it’s not something that Stirling uses to protect our corporate network from a public wifi on a shared Internet connection.

By crossing your business Internet with public wifi, the only thing you’re really accomplishing is providing a road map for someone to sit in the parking lot and hack your business.  In this bold new world of interconnectivity that we live in, it’s simply safer and easier to calculate the cost of a dedicated Internet connection for your public wifi upfront before providing public wifi in your business, store or mall.

Jimmy Maurin and Roger Ogden, Founders of Stirling Properties, Give Back to LSU

Five Louisiana State Univeristy (LSU) business students – David Harms, Raju Marasani, Sawyer Chauvin, Saban Sellers, and James Guinn – received the 2015 ICSC Foundation Maurin Ogden LSU Scholarship Award. Funded by Jimmy Maurin and Roger Ogden, founders of Stirling Properties, this annual scholarship is awarded to a select handful of EJ Ourso College of Business students with an interest in Commercial Real Estate. The award provides an all-expense-paid attendance to the ICSC RECon Convention in Las Vegas.

2015 ICSC Foundation Gala

David Harms, one of the award recipients, delivered the opening remarks as part of the ICSC Foundation Gala held on May 17th at the Wynn Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

More specifically, this scholarship is awarded to students enrolled in Finance 7720, Commercial Real Estate Investing, at LSU. This course is offered in both Spring and Fall semesters at LSU and taught by adjunct instructor Justin Landry of Stirling Properties. Each year Stirling Properties chaperones the five LSU Award Recipients to the convention, offering the students valuable exposure to industry leaders and potential employers at the convention.

“We’ve had tremendous success over the past two years with this scholarship award, in fact a handful of students have received jobs as a result of attending the convention,” said Justin Landry, Asset/Finance Manager for Stirling Properties. “None of this would be possible without the generosity of Stirling’s original founders, Jimmy Maurin and Roger Ogden who fund the scholarship yearly. There are no two people more committed to LSU, real estate and education.”

For more information about Finance 7720 – “Commercial Real Estate Investing” and its objectives contact Justin Landry at jclandry@stirlingprop.com or LSU Department of Finance at finance@tigers.lsu.edu.
