OG&E Energy Center

[Of Sound Mind]

Wow, I really love this development! Can't wait to see the final product! So much better than an office tower. Can we set up a cam to watch the progress? OG&E really gets a thumbs up for this one.

Still prettier than the Stage Dump.

Don't say that too loud or someone will write you a two paragraph post about its nostalgia, artistic meaning to downtown and all that other good stuff.

The mayor tweeted that the Blake Griffin Foundation was contributing to this

I love that this thread is still titled the way it is. Really drives it home. Although I did not like Stage Center, I am still ashamed of what we got in place of it.

Mine would be longer than that, but its seems you already get the gist.

The irony of all this, if there were more residents downtown, this wouldn't be a terrible idea as a placeholder. But there were supposed to be multiple residential towers here, now none. Just ironic.

nothing wrong with basketball courts in downtown, I do think they are needed and should be put in areas where other development is not possible (like parquet parks). But NOT at this location, looks very bush league for an OBVIOUS CBD expansion area.

I love how dense the top third of this picture looks!

[TheTravellers]

The lighting around the top will make a nice addition to our skyline...

Time for someone to do the calculation on how many floors this would be would set to the scale of an ant.


There has been a couple of shipping container developments maybe someone could do that with the rest of the site and it will look like the way it was before.

Would love to see a level of residential added on top, but otherwise it's quality infill.

Will they add a parking garage to support it?

So last night this happened: https://twitter.com/codylusnia/statu...53132817829889

Guess we have a new addition to the Parking District.

That is completely against city codes.

Parking must be on hard surfaces; gravel doesn't even suffice.

How did this happen?

They should have left the Stage Center, standing --- plenty of concrete there to justify the parking!

What were they parking for? Was someone charging for parking?
