Hogum Bay Town Center: What's Coming to Northeast Lacey?

Hogum Bay Road NE, Lacey, WA
If you've driven Hogum Bay Road NE lately, you've watched a real town center take shape. Hogum Bay Town Center is not one building — it's a master plan by Urban Olympia (with Thomas Architecture Studios as architect) totaling roughly 353,800 square feet across the site, organized as a binding site plan with eight lots (City project #22-0188).
What we know
- Six commercial buildings anchor the west end of the site; four mixed-use residential buildings sit at the east end, each with 80-90 units — studios through two-bedrooms, plus ground-floor walk-ups — around courtyards, a community garden, play area, and a covered pergola.
- Already open at the town center: 23 Kitchens and Super Chix, per City Council reporting. Cooper's Bar & Grill and Dough Zone were reported by The JOLT as tenants expected in the summer 2026 buildout.
- The residential component, Hogum Bay Apartments at 2463 Hogum Bay Rd NE, is now pre-leasing, with first residents scheduled for September 2026. Roughly 350 market-rate apartments are planned across the town center.
- The project is in its third phase per the architect's project page.
What we don't know yet
- Which tenants will fill the remaining commercial buildings — only some have been named publicly.
- A firm final-completion date for the residential buildings.
