DEAD MALL - Lakeside Mall - Sterling Heights Michigan (CLOSED) | ERA_Productions

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Lakeside Mall in Sterling Heights Michigan, north of Detroit. Opening it's doors in 1976 and being developed by Homart and Taubman, Lakeside Mall saw great success and lead to major growth in the town of Sterling Heights. Lakeside Mall made itself a staple through the 80s and 90s, and even did well through the 2000s. But would start struggling in the 2010s. As major growth happened around Lakeside Mall, competition became fierce. And with many ownership changes going on, stores began to leave Lakeside Mall. In 2018, Sears would close followed by Lord & Taylor in 2019. Today, Lakeside Mall stands with just Macys and JCPenney as anchors, and less than 50% occupancy. As rumors of closure keep circling around for redevelopment, let's take a walk through Lakeside Mall and see how it stands in May 2023!
