Pacific Retail Capital Partners, Lyon Living, and Silverpeak Announce Acquisition and Redevelopment of Lakewood Center
Located in the heart of Lakewood — a diverse, family-oriented community — the center will be reimagined through the development of a comprehensive master plan, transforming the property into a walkable destination that blends legacy retail with new residential, wellness, entertainment, and green spaces.
A Collaboration of Industry Leaders
'Lakewood Center is more than a shopping destination — it's a landmark of postwar American development, a cornerstone of the Lakewood community, and a symbol of how retail can evolve alongside the people it serves,' said Steve Plenge, Chief Executive Officer of Pacific Retail Capital Partners. 'Since opening in 1950, the property has adapted to the cultural, economic, and demographic shifts of Southeast Los Angeles, emerging as one of the most highly trafficked malls in the country and consistently generating over $1 billion in annual sales. Its legacy is woven into the daily lives of generations of families, workers, and entrepreneurs. As we look ahead, our vision is to honor that heritage while transforming Lakewood Center into a next-generation mixed-use destination — one that meets the needs of a thriving, diverse community and continues to anchor regional vitality for decades to come.'
The partners look forward to commencing the master planning process and will prioritize collaboration with local stakeholders, and city officials, to ensure the project reflects community values and aspirations.
Known for its expertise in creating vibrant living environments, Lyon Living will lead the integration of modern residential and lifestyle components into the redevelopment. 'We're excited to join PRCP and Silverpeak in delivering a destination that will thrive in Lakewood for generations to come,' said Frank T. Suryan JR, Chairman & CEO of Lyon Living.
Silverpeak, a leading real estate investment firm, will provide strategic vision and capital to ensure the project's long-term success.
Legacy Meets Vision
At nearly 150 acres, Lakewood Center is the second-largest single-level enclosed mall in Los Angeles County. It draws over 22 million annual visitors, ranking third in California and sixth nationwide for traffic. Anchored by retailers including Costco, Target, Macy's, and Best Buy, the center serves as the region's leading sales tax generator and a major local employer.
Surrounded by more than 10 colleges and universities within a 15-mile radius and supported by world-class K–12 education, the Lakewood community is among Southern California's most well-educated and family-centered.
'The Lakewood Center has been at the heart of our community since before the city's incorporation in 1954 and the City and the Center have both evolved and weathered the many twists and turns of time together. As we work with the new owners on a master planning process for the Center, this is undeniably an exciting new chapter in Lakewood history. We have great confidence the partners will re-establish Lakewood Center as a cornerstone of retail, dining and community connections and look forward to fresh ideas and amenities that will serve residents and visitors for generations to come.' – City of Lakewood
The redevelopment will introduce elevated retail and dining, integrated residential living, wellness amenities, dynamic green spaces, and unique entertainment — all thoughtfully woven into a pedestrian-friendly environment.
Further details on the Lakewood Center master plan, including timeline and design features, will be shared as development progresses.

What Canadian Market Should PWHL Expansion Target Next?
Another round of PWHL expansion will come soon. Potentially as soon as following this season. While an American broadcasting deal, and sponsorship dollars in the USA are tremendously important, it's hard to turn down the Canadian markets that have already, and will continue to show incredible support for women's hockey at the box office.

White House joins TikTok after delaying enforcement of sale-or-ban law
The White House launched a TikTok account on Tuesday amid uncertainty about the app's future, as another deadline approaches for its parent company, Bytedance, to sell to a US buyer or be banned in the United States. President Donald Trump has repeatedly extended the deadline of a sale-or-ban law passed under former President Joe Biden's administration, with the new deadline less than a month away on September 17. The latest delay in June kept the app accessible for its 170 million American users, despite the legislation that passed last year with bipartisan support over concerns that TikTok's Chinese ownership poses a US national security risk. And it came as both the United States and China sought leverage in tense trade talks. TikTok's ultimate fate in the US remains unclear, but the official White House account is a signal the app could be here to stay. The first post on the official White House TikTok account features video of Trump as he says, 'Every day, I wake up determined to deliver a better life for the people all across this nation. I am your voice.' The post's caption reads, 'America we are BACK! What's up TikTok?' As of 8 p.m. on Tuesday, shortly after launching, the account had garnered more than 20,000 followers. This is the administration's first official TikTok account. Both Trump and Biden launched accounts during the 2024 presidential campaign, drawing scrutiny as the leaders had previously raised national security concerns with the app. TikTok doesn't operate in China, but the Chinese government enjoys significant leverage over businesses under its jurisdiction. The US government has said it's worried China could use its national security laws to access the significant amount of personal information that TikTok, like most social media applications, collects from its US users. The TikTok sale-or-ban law went into effect on January 19 after Biden signed it last year. TikTok briefly took itself offline, sparking outcry from creators, but quickly came back after Trump signed an order delaying the ban's enforcement by 75 days in one of the first acts of his second term. The president's June delay marked his third extension of the ban.

The White House just joined TikTok a month before it's set to be banned (again)
A lot can change in a year — just ask TikTok. Last year, the US government took the extraordinary step of voting to ban the popular app used by millions of Americans, citing national security concerns. On Tuesday, the White House became its latest user. The White House TikTok account launched with a video montage of President Donald Trump narrated by the man himself. "Every day I wake up determined to deliver a better life for the people all across this nation," Trump says over images of him with UFC head Dana White, law enforcement officers, and American workers. "I am your voice!" The account's second post featured various shots of the White House during different seasons. The White House joined the app less than a month before it's set to be banned in the US on September 17 unless it's sold to a US buyer, though that deadline has already been extended several times. "The Trump administration is committed to communicating the historic successes President Trump has delivered to the American people with as many audiences and platforms as possible," Karoline Leavitt, White House press secretary, said in a statement to Business Insider. "President Trump's message dominated TikTok during his presidential campaign, and we're excited to build upon those successes and communicate in a way no other administration has before." The White House did not respond to questions about whether the divest-or-ban deadline would be extended again or if a deal was expected by the deadline. Lawmakers in April 2024 voted to ban TikTok unless its China-based parent company, ByteDance, sold its American assets. Some officials cited concerns that sensitive data belonging to American users could end up in the hands of the Chinese government, and members of Congress have said it could be used for Chinese Communist Party propaganda. TikTok has said it does not share data with the Chinese government. The TikTok divest-or-ban law, signed by President Joe Biden last year, gave TikTok until January 19 to sell or risk shutting down. The app briefly went dark that day for US-based users before coming back online, with TikTok crediting Trump for its return. The White House has said the president does not want TikTok to go dark and prefers it be sold. Trump has delayed the divest-or-ban deadline three times since taking office in January. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CNBC last month that TikTok will go dark again unless China agrees to a deal that will give Americans control over the app. "We've made the decision. You can't have Chinese control and have something on 100 million American phones," Lutnick said, adding that China's decision would be coming "very soon."
