Bon Carré lands LSU as a tenant. Could pickleball be next?
By Jordan Arceneaux
LSU’s health care services division will occupy just under 19,000 square feet of space for its administrative offices at the Bon Carré Business Center on Florida Boulevard.
The university has signed a lease through the end of February 2029, with two three-year renewal options, according to a lease agreement recently filed with the East Baton Rouge Parish Clerk of Court’s office. The lease totals $1.1 million and is structured into 36 installments of $31,521.

Home flippers see smallest profits since the Great Recession, real estate data firm says
By Diana Olick
Higher mortgage rates, high home prices and tight supply are all conspiring to squeeze investors in the home flipping play.
In all of 2025, roughly 297,000 single-family homes and condos were flipped nationwide, according to ATTOM, a real estate data provider, which defines a flip as a home purchased and sold in the same 12-month period. That was a decrease of 3.9% from 2024 and the lowest number of flips in any year since 2020. Investor flips accounted for 7.4% of all 2025 home sales, down from 7.6% in 2024.
Flips are falling because profits are making it less and less worth it.
