Hogum Bay Road NE (residential component: 2463 Hogum Bay Rd NE), Lacey, WA
MASTER PLAN — not a single building. The Hogum Bay Town Center plan (City project #22-0188, binding site plan dividing two parcels into 8 lots) totals roughly 353,800 square feet: six commercial buildings at the west end and four mixed-use residential buildings at the east end, with courtyards, a community garden, play area, and pedestrian connections. Businesses open at the town center include 23 Kitchens and Super Chix; Cooper's Bar & Grill and Dough Zone were reported as upcoming tenants by The JOLT's City Council update. Approximately 350 market-rate apartments are planned; the residential component (Hogum Bay Apartments, 2463 Hogum Bay Rd NE) is now pre-leasing with first residents scheduled for September 2026.

Total project size is roughly 141,600 square feet. The City of Lacey carries it as the Martin Way Mixed Use project (#19-0205).

A 213,000-square-foot mixed-use development at the northeast corner of 41st Avenue NE and Marvin Road NE, including 198 apartment units — six of them live/work units — plus 15,000 square feet of commercial space.
