Lakewood’s Mixed-Use Anchor District
Lakewood Towne Center sits at the heart of Lakewood — the city’s central retail-plus-residential district, anchored by a mall that’s been redeveloped more times than anyone can keep straight. Surrounding it: dense apartments, condos, small commercial, and the property-management infrastructure that keeps it all running. It’s a high-turnover neighborhood — leases come and go, tenants change, units need cleanouts, and the truck routes get used a lot.
What Hoss Does in the Towne Center Area
We work both sides of this district:
Residential — single-item pickups, apartment cleanouts, end-of-lease haul-aways, downsizing for the condo crowd, post-move junk.
Commercial — retail tenant turnovers, post-construction cleanups for the small businesses that come and go, office cleanouts, property-management hauls.
Apartments & multifamily — we coordinate with property management for unit turnovers, common-area cleanups, and yard cleanouts. Roll-off dumpsters drop where you have parking-lot access; junk hauling on foot for tight-stairwell jobs.

About Lakewood Towne Center
Lakewood Towne Center sits at 5731 Main Street SW, owned and managed by Kite Realty Group. The current footprint is an open-air “power center” of roughly 58 stores — the format that replaced the enclosed Lakewood Mall after it was demolished in 2001.
Current anchor and major tenants include Safeway, AMC Theatres, Crunch Fitness, Barnes & Noble (planning to relocate within the center), plus a deep restaurant lineup (Red Robin, Panda Express, Chipotle, MOD Pizza) and a Wells Fargo branch. Bed Bath & Beyond closed in 2022 as part of that retailer’s national wind-down.
Active redevelopment. In February 2025, the Lakewood Hearing Examiner approved the Lakewood Towne Center Apartments — 309 market-rate units (one 5-story building and seven 3-story buildings) on a 34.11-acre site, replacing the existing Barnes & Noble building and a large parking lot. The plan includes 473 parking spaces and 40,132 sq ft of open space with a pool, clubhouse, and playground. Construction starts once site and building permits are issued.
The Towne Center sits inside Lakewood’s broader Downtown Subarea Plan, which targets 2,250+ new attached housing units (mostly mixed-use) over the long term. Roughly two miles north of JBLM’s Madigan/North Gate, with Pierce Transit routes converging on the center.
