Gov. Bobby Jindal and his family will be moving to University Club when his term ends at the end of this year. A spokesman for the governor confirms Jindal is building a “family home” in the development. He did not provide additional details.
However, homebuilder Jackie Braud confirms that she and her husband, Ted Braud, who own the residential construction company Traditions by Design, are building the custom home for Jindal, his wife, Supriya, and their three children. Braud says construction is currently under way on a vacant lot the Brauds previously acquired in the developments eighth filing.
“It’s a beautiful large lot,” she says. “It’s near the golf course overlooking the lake with woods behind it so the children will have a wonderful area to play.”
Additional details were not available as of this morning’s deadline, but Braud confirms the house will be near that of LSU President F. King Alexander.
Jindal, who is spending much of his time these days on the presidential campaign trail, has a little more than four months left in the Governor’s Mansion. The new governor will be inaugurated in early January. However, Braud says the Jindals hope to be in their new home by early December.
