    One of the spaces is already rented; I believe to a restaurant / bar.

    That's great news! Any idea on whether it will open in 2016 or will renovations push it into 2017?

    This is awesome news! I've always thought that was a really neat corner and I can't wait to see it come back to life!

    I believe they hope to get started right away and this shouldn't be a super complicated project.

    The previous owner had already fixed the roof and done some other work.

    Big projects in the works for Uptown | News OK

    Apparently a speak easy style bar is going in the basement. I'm not sure what that is though.

    A speakeasy was an bar that served liquor illegally during "prohibition" and wasn't open to view. I'm thinking the term here is meant to indicate that it will be somewhat hidden downstairs.

    Not at all trying to be negative but when do we (or cities in general) reach critical mass for bars? I guess there is always a market for bars?

    I'm guessing that would be when people quit opening bars and some start going out of business because of lack of patrons. Until liquor is outlawed again, there will continue to be a market for bars. Some will succeed and some won't. OKC is certainly not oversaturated with a surplus of quality bars.

    That was fast. Wow look at Uptown taking off.

    This building is uncannily similar to the John Brown's dept store in Capitol Hill. Wonder if architect was the same.

    I've mentioned this before but properties are now selling at such premiums in the core that when something changes hands, it's almost imperative that they fill it up with tenants just to service the debt.

    An update by Steve.

    http://www.oklahoman.com/article/547...o_redirect=yes

    Plans are moving forward for redevelopment of the former Citizens State Bank building in Uptown with renovations set to start this spring and wrap up later this year.

    Owner Bruce Fraley and his leasing agent, Chad Elmore, were in Dallas Thursday surveying potential tenants and concepts for the project.

    "We're assembling a list of restaurant and entertainment uses."

    You can't tell by these photos but I stuck my head in and they have done a ton of work to the inside.

    Plans have been filed to completely redo the parking lot directly north, which is owned by the same group.

    The existing lot is a pretty big disaster right now.

    I live about a block away, they don’t seem to be in a hurry. And they’ve had a lot of flooding issues with the basement. But I still see a crew or two just about every day. Some days the job site looks shut.
