Ascension Parish Sees $400K Office Sale to Veteran Services Firm

A 4,000-square-foot office building on East Josephine Street changed hands for $400,000. American Soldiers Evaluation Services (ASES) bought the property from Nolan and Sharon Aikens. ASES CEO Dr. Sandrine Nkouga represented the buyer in the transaction.

The organization provides evaluation and support services for military veterans transitioning to civilian life. The new office gives ASES a permanent base in Ascension Parish after operating from temporary space.

Separately, Guillot Properties has filed plans for a mixed-use development near the intersection of Airline Highway and La. 73. The project includes retail space and residential units, though no construction timeline has been disclosed.

Permit activity in the parish this month includes two commercial renovations and one new single-family home permit in the Dutchtown area. No major industrial permits were filed.

A parish planning commission meeting scheduled for next Tuesday will review the Guillot Properties proposal. The agenda also includes a zoning variance request for a small warehouse on Old Jefferson Highway.
