As an unwritten law states, a shopping complex must be renovated every 10 years, else it will loose favor with the (fickle) buying public. In the late 2010s LAKESIDE was given a 10 million dollar makeover.

LAKESIDE CENTER, 2019. A new The Cheesecake Factory was dedicated in June 2014. On the mall's northern periphery, Dick's Sporting Goods replaced a vacant Linen's 'n Things. By this time, LAKESIDE CENTER has cemented its position as preeminent New Orleans mall and eclipsed two former rivals. BELLE PROMENADE MALL closed in 2000 and was razed in 2002. LAKE FOREST PLAZA shut down in 2005 and was bulldozed in 2007.
