The #okcfoa hashtag on insta is churning out some pretty great skyline shots right now.

I would think there is an opportunity to enhance scope now that AA infill is finally happening. More rooftops and window shopping traffic to spill into some kind of hip outdoors spot.

That brick veneer wall borrowed from some new Del City housing addition couldn't possibly be appealing to anyone with a college degree. There's just no way.

This entire project screams of not...

So do people who drive through believe they are more entitled to the streets than the people who live on them?

I don't see class undertones at all here. We have a lot of low-income areas of...

This. Especially on 13th. I think if they tackle speeding on 13th and Classen, the way that traffic is mostly pretty calm (and slow) on 23rd, it will set the pace for how drivers go through HH and...

If Oklahoma was smart they could make every single LIHTC deal look like this. I would say this type of product is at least half of the allocations in OH or PA.

Morisette is a good guy. I don't know his stances on urbanism issues specifically but I know he's been friendly toward OKC, really helped champion a lot of city hall causes as the Henry...

He's a low cost home builder who previously worked for a cell phone company. He's a republican whereas Morisette was a democrat.

The Big 12 is throwing OU/OSU's wishes under the bus because they don't bring as many TV sets as you'd think. I'll concede that OU is a national brand that always attracts interest, same as OSU when...

There's no reason for OKC to not match the top tax rates in the state. That's a pretty standard practice for all larger cities in a single state. Council seems to be the only people deliberately...

I know you're smart enough to distinguish between a smart personal finance strategy and that of a major city with one of the top bond ratings. The interest that OKC would theoretically pay is so...

OSU has Pickens, Ross McKnight, Sherman Smith, Wayne Allen, Malone Mitchell, Peggy Helmerich, Bob Funk, a few others, all have given more to the school than even the universally-reviled AD who gives...

Reality check: OKC has all the amenities and more that you'd expect in a city of its size, still needs to work on weaving it together into a pleasing environment without construction detours in...

I wouldn't be surprised if that area around Classen Circle becomes the next SoSA. The surrounding homes are probably the best candidate for tear-downs inside I-44, and the location is great. Even...

Come on, For Immediate Release has feelings too.

I hope there are certainly more than just 600 people looking to spend $400/sf for a downtown condo, or else we can just quit now lol.

I think there's going to be a lag when it comes to the Criterion replacing the Diamond Ballroom. The latter will always have the advantage of cheap facility fees and huge capacity = higher revenue.

Do you see the gate or not? lol

For you and I that's great. But it's not a rewarding public finance strategy.

Campus does have to cancel night classes, and even afternoon classes closer to the stadium (CEAT, Business, Arts). Also losing the OKC/Tulsa crowd (granted it's not all 60,000) is significant,...

The problem is the lag between funding projects and actually building them, and placing them in service. In OKC it's extended by the city's relatively low bond load, as MAPS pays cash after revenue...

In the rendering it looks really good, so I'll be curious if real life turns out that way. We know what happened with LEVEL...

Well keep in mind also that cap rates in OKC have dropped from around 9 to 6-5 depending on a deal's NOI. That has to be the main reason that condos are feasible now.

The Factory was certainly...

The frustrating thing is that it's not as if we're short on potential uses for a unique funding source like downtown ad valorem revenue. That's exactly how Seattle just financed a streetcar, and how...

What is the building facade material?
