  • New mixed-use container project coming to Automobile Alley

    The shipping container craze is set to continue in Oklahoma City, with firm plans to bring a mixed-use development to the east side of Automobile Alley near downtown.


    A local group has leased two vacant lots on the north side of NW 7th between Broadway and the railroad tracks.

    Similar to the popular OKSea project in Deep Deuce, the 7th Street project (a final name has yet to be selected) will be even more elaborate and on a larger scale. A residential development made from containers, Squirrel Park, is currently planned for the Classen corridor.

    Featured will be an area for food trucks and a dedicated kitchen / restaurant with indoor and outdoor space which will allow year-round operation.

    In addition to a large amount of outdoor space and a full bar, container space will be leased to small offices and retail tenants.

    The project has multiple levels which adapt to various grade changes on the parcels.

    David Ledbetter is the designer and work should commence soon.

    The area between Broadway and the railroad tracks is seeing quite a bit of activity, with the massive 330-unit Metropolitan Apartments set to open in the next few months.
