Two new student housing developments near Louisiana State University are located just steps from campus and will include a wealth of amenities. Sterling Tiger Valley and Sterling Southgate are scheduled to deliver more than 1,700 beds ahead of the 2027 and 2028 academic years.

Sterling Tiger Valley will offer 259 units ranging from 1-bedroom to 5-bedrooms, totaling 845 beds. The property is surrounded by pedestrian-friendly streets, nearby trails, and a growing mix of student-oriented retail and dining on Burbank Drive, offering students a walkable lifestyle in the center of academic, athletic, and social life. 

Amenities include a clubhouse, fitness center, resort-style pool and spa, BBQ grills, jumbotron, pickleball court, game room, personal and communal study rooms, EV parking stations, and controlled entry garage parking. The project is under construction and projected to be delivered prior to Fall 2027.

Sterling Southgate is close to LSU’s engineering and business schools, student union, and other campus life centers. The community is projected to have 285 units ranging from 1-bedroom to 5-bedrooms, totaling 899 beds. Sterling Southgate is directly across the street from the proposed new LSU arena, retail, and economic hub.

Just a short walk from LSU, the site is adjacent to major student-focused retail corridors, and the continued expansion of LSU’s athletic and entertainment footprint. This location offers students a vibrant living environment that pairs accessibility with space, scale, and the atmosphere of a rapidly evolving university-oriented district.

Amenities include a clubhouse, fitness center, two resort-style pools and spa, BBQ grills, Jumbotron, sky lounge, pickleball court, game room, personal and communal study rooms, EV parking stations, controlled entry garage parking, and select elevated units with glam rooms. Sterling Southgate is slated to break ground in 2026 and is set to be delivered prior to Fall 2028.
