Piece of local history comes down as former bowling center is demolished
Demolition was taking place this week at the former Narrows Plaza Bowl, 2200 Mildred St. W., University Place, to make way for a new apartment complex.
Plans call for development of nine new apartment buildings spread across two parcels, which includes the site of the former AMC Narrows Plaza 8, 2208 Mildred St., Tacoma, according to documents on file with Pierce County Planning and Land Services.
The former bowling center was sold March 3 for $2.8 million to an LLC representing Wood Partners in Seattle. The former AMC theater was sold March 2 for $2.9 million.
The bowling center, which opened in 1983, closed Feb. 20.
The proposed project includes seven apartment buildings, each of approximately 24,275 square feet, one apartment building of approximately 50,050 square feet, and one of approximately 57,025 square feet. Each has its own parking area. Seven of the buildings would be three stories each, and the other two are planned at four stories each. A pool is shown with one of the buildings on the planning documents.
