COVINGTON, LA Stirling Properties, NAI Latter & Blum and Greenleaf Architects announce Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar is coming to River Chase mixed-use development in Covington, Louisiana. This will mark the first Northshore location for the highly anticipated sports restaurant and bar.

Stirling closed on the purchase of 1.82 acres of property located on the northwest corner of Stirling Blvd. and Brewster Road next to Sam's Club. Construction on the site will commence within the next couple of weeks. The restaurant will occupy roughly 9,600 square feet and is expected to open by the summer of 2017, according to Arkel Constructors who has been chosen as the General Contractor.

Stirling Properties' Senior Retail Leasing & Development Executive, Rhonda Sharkawy, represented the property owners, and Beau Bourque with NAI Latter & Blum represented the tenant. Greenleaf Architects was selected to design the custom restaurant for the new Northshore location.

The popular restaurant started by two LSU students in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has thrived throughout the years, and expanded into multiple locations. The next stop for Walk-On's is in St. Tammany Parish, and Greenleaf Architects is fortunate enough to work closely with Walk-On's Enterprises in making this happen. As a firm full of LSU graduates who frequented the original location on Burbank Drive throughout college, this is truly an honor for Greenleaf Architects. The Covington location will include a rooftop bar, "The Upper Deck," an element unique to the design by Greenleaf Architects. The Upper Deck will feature group seating and additional space for catching a game under the skyline of St. Tammany Parish.

"Stirling Properties is pleased to welcome Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar to River Chase," said Townsend Underhill, Senior Vice President of Development at Stirling Properties. "They join a dynamic assortment of restaurants, retailers, hospitality, multi-family, and office users offering a one-of-a-kind, mixed-use destination for the entire region."
