As we were first to report in June of last year, a large hotel developer based in Tulsa bought a .7 acre lot and warehouse in the Core to Shore area east of the MAPS 3 Central Park.

The company had the property for sale for several months but recently filed an application to demolish the structure.

As a part of that filing, it was revealed the building would be replaced by a 5-story Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott.


Anish Hotels Group and its CEO Andy Patel have developed a number of hotels in the Tulsa area, including a planned Residence Inn downtown. Anish also recently announced plans to build a 9-story Canopy Hotel in Bricktown.


The news of this latest project comes as the MAPS 3 Convention Center Committee considers it's options after plans to acquire a parcel directly south of the Myriad Gardens fell through just last week.

One of the three sites the committee and paid consultants had identified as finalists was the “Core to Shore South” area, which is directly west of the proposed Fairfield Inn.

Although no other development has been announced for the area around the park other than law offices near the Oklahoma River, there has been a considerable number of property sales by a variety of investors and developers.

The Fairfield Inn would add to the fast-growing list of 21 hotels completed or planned for the downtown area. See our comprehensive Downtown Hotel Summary for much more information.
