Once teed up, Topgolf now absent from Everett Mall redevelopment plans

The owner of the Everett Mall is scaling back plans to redevelop the aging shopping center.

After buying the mall for $36 million in 2017, California-based investment firm Brixton Capital worked to transform the 490,949-square-foot property into an open-air, walkable shopping and entertainment destination.

In mid-2024, Topgolf had emerged as the anchor tenant for the redevelopment project.

The new site plan, dated April 15, shows a self-storage facility taking over a portion of the site, where previously a Topgolf location was planned. Brixton is also proposing to convert the former LA Fitness location into a 60,000-square-foot office development.

There is already a driving range a couple of miles south of there on 128th. There may have been questions about the viability of having a second one so close.
