Plans have been submitted by Northline Development to renovate one of Midtown's biggest eyesores, the old Transmissions R' Us property at NW 10th and Harvey.


Northline has the property under contract with a closing date in the near future.

The property has been the subject of controversy for the storing of many inoperable cars in it's main parking lot facing the booming 10th Street corridor. Recently, the owners bowed to pressure from the City of Oklahoma City and removed all the autos some time ago.


Much like the Swanson's Tire project directly to the southwest, Northline plans to leave the orginal structure in tact but completely renovation including a new roof, replacing the six overhead doors with modern glass versions, and completely replacing the front drive.

The remaining large windows will be replaced with steel casement windows.

Northline will actively market the 12,000 square feet of space to restaurants and retail tenants and renderings show a patio facing NW 10th.

The project is directly south of the popular Bleu Garten food truck court, and located in the middle of a thriving 10th Street, with many new bars, restaurants and retail tenants set to join an already large number of the same: McNellie's, Fassler Hall / Dust Bowl, R&J Supper Club, Barrios (coming to the Swanson's Tire devleopment) Broadway 10, Sidecar, Packard's, Nic's Diner, The Garage Hatch, Twisted Spike Brewery and Kamp's 1910.

Renovation would start after closing and after obtaining necessary approval from the Downtown Design Review Committee.
