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. The Cheesecake Factory (in dark gray) was dedicated in June 2014. A vacant Linens 'n Things, in the mall's northern periphery, morphed into Dick's Sporting Goods. By this time, LAKESIDE CENTER has cemented its position as the preeminent New Orleans shopping mall. It 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.
