A concept plan for a "Zipline Drone Charger" is under review at Lakeland Square Mall, alongside a steady run of store buildouts.
Lakeland Square Mall, at 3800 US Highway 98 North, has a concept plan under review for what the city record calls a "Zipline Drone Charger." The filing (CPT26-072) is still early in the review process, so the details of what would be built and how it would operate are not yet public.
Around that filing, the mall has seen a steady stream of tenant and building work. City records show buildout permits tied to Box Lunch in two spaces (248 and 114), a store remodel in space 160, a tenant improvement in space 614, roof restoration, grease-trap plumbing, tent permits for sales and a "Foodees Fest," plus routine electrical and HVAC replacements.
The property owner on the permits is listed as Lakeland Square Mall LLC (one 2026 record lists COMM 2013 CCRE7 Lakeland Square Mall LLC). Together the filings show an active, occupied mall rather than a single new project.
