“Stirling Properties is thrilled to add even more great retail and restaurant options that will further solidify Fremaux Town Center as a premier regional shopping and entertainment destination, as well as a vital economic contributor to the area,” said Townsend Underhill, SVP of development for Stirling Properties. “Fremaux Town Center offers a one-of-a-kind retail experience in the City of Slidell and St. Tammany Parish, with many retailers and restaurants that are new to the Northshore.”
Fremaux Town Center is located on more than 80 acres at the southwest corner of Interstate 10 and Fremaux Avenue in Slidell, Louisiana near the city of New Orleans.
The first phase of construction for Fremaux Town Center included roughly 350,000 sq. ft. of retail anchored by Dick’s Sporting Goods, Kohl’s and Best Buy. Phase II, anchored by Dillard’s, celebrated its grand opening late last year and added roughly 283,000 sq. ft. to the existing shopping center. “Following the opening of Phase II, a large portion of tenants reported increased foot traffic and sales” stated Unerhill.
More than 47 retail outlets and restaurants are currently operating in the center. Junior anchors include TJ Maxx, Michael's and PetSmart. Outparcels include Longhorn Steakhouse and Cheddars, with several outparcel opportunities still available. A variety of spaces exist for small shops and junior anchors to benefit from the opportunities these national anchors and high traffic counts present.
Construction continues on Springs at Fremaux Town Center, a 296-unit apartment complex, and is on track to be 100% completed in March with residency available. Additionally, two sites are under contract to hotel developers, and construction should start in second quarter 2016.
