    They shoulda just built a new tower

    Why would it better to have a dated and underused building on the market than to upgrade the inventory we have? I think it's this disposable mentality that has hurt Oklahoma City's development over the years and I think it's great that they are modernizing an existing structure rather than leaving it to rot.

    Default Re: SandRidge update....

    I agree, If everyone who came along just builds a new building, you would have a lot of empty, underutilized space on the market.

    The only reason Devon is building a new building is because there is NO building in OKC that can hold all of its employees.

    Default Re: SandRidge update....

    Yeah, and I think what they are turning over to the market has been improved by their stay there. So now, with their move we have increased the inventory of desirable office space and are getting a new tower. I think overall, we want to see an overall upgrade to our office inventory in general and/or a conversion to residential where creating class A space would be difficult. This all works to making downtown a unique and desirable place to locate and build, hopefully offsetting the cost advantage of building on the outer perimeter, which only fuels the disposable building cycle.

    I think once Sandridge gets big enough, they will build a new building, and how great is it that when they leave the kerr McGee building it will have a new interior, well not completely by that time but not out dated by any means

    I would love to see before pictures and renderings for the interior plans for that building.

    It just occurred to me that I don't think I've ever been in it.

    My grandfather was an accountant on the 29th floor when I was a kid. I went there a couple of times then.

    According to the story it should be just as you remember it. Right down to the harvest yellow appliances in the break room.

    I hope someone got some good photos before they started renovation.

    I wonder if they are keeping the pool in the basement?

    If they leave it long enough, it'll come back into style.

    I agree completely. Sand Ridge could easily build a new tower in a decade or less but at this point in time renovating and bringing our current infrastructure into the 21st century is a huge step forward and if/when they move on to bigger/better buildings they will have left a building move in ready for modern tenants.

    What disposable mentality are you talking about?

    I hope you realize that historically there hasn't been much construction downtown since the 70s. I also hope you realize that comparatively there still isn't much.

    Um, just look at our urban sprawl and that's what he means. Build it, use it for a bit, then build a new one further out...it's not a good thing to have low density downotwn, which is exactly what you end up with when you don't renovate older buildings to bring them up to par because then they stay VACANT. We're lucky duck SandRidge decided to renovate that tower.

    From the Wal-Mart school of real estate development. Build a new building and leave the old one to rot.

    Makes me think of Reno & Midwest Blvd. Old Target, Walmart and Albertson's big boxes just sitting there at that intersection.

    As a SandRidge employee, I would like to provide a few details that you may or may not know. About half of our corporate employees are already downtown. They office in the lower floors up to the 16th floor. Floors 17-29 are currently being renovated for the employees who currently office at the Valliance Bank Tower. I've seen some of the conceptual drawings and they are quite impressive. It's a very creative and modern design. The first round of Valliance Tower employees will be making the move as early as September. Then the remaining departments will move in one by one throughout the end of the year. The 28th floor will be all conference rooms and the 29th floor will be executive offices. Those floors are scheduled to take the longest. They say everyone will be downtown by January 2009. In addition, there are plans for a restaurant and to expand/renovate the existing fitness center. Also I know they have picked a firm from NYC to design the rest of the city block. All of these details were presented at our last quarterly meeting so I'm sure there will be more details to come at the end of September. Hope that helps!

    Wow, thanks for the good info!

    Thanks for the information, taylor.

    As much praise as we've lavished on Devon, Tom Ward & Sandridge deserve a lot of credit for stepping in and taking on that building and now spending tons of money to bring it up to date.

    Looking forward to seeing the progress!
