NEW ORLEANS – Stirling Properties announced major renovations to the Pan American Life Center, a 673,000-square-foot office building at the corner of Poydras Street and St. Charles Avenue.

The café and conference center will continue to be managed by Sodexo.

The restaurant will be located on the 11th floor. Renovation work on 11th floor restaurant includes a modernized dining area, upgraded furniture, new flooring, LED lighting and an exciting new menu. Construction began in early January and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2020.
