Re: NW 50th & Western
BTW, I wouldn't be surprised if Chesapeake finishes up with the various zoning and street changes then sells the land for someone else to develop.
They've already sunk a bunch of money into this, over $5 million (!) just for the land; almost $2 million an acre. That does not include demolition, attorney, engineering and architecture fees.
They'll never get their money back but it's pretty clear the new leadership wants to get out of the real estate business.
And don't forget, they already have a relatively new CNG fueling station on the southern end of that property.

Re: Chesapeake empire marches on
Did anyone see in the Journal Record that Chesapeake was denied to develop a site on 49th and Western?

Re: NW 50th & Western
It sounds like the only thing that was denied was re-zoning of the two lots on 49th street, although that's not made very clear in that article:
The Oklahoma City Council on Tuesday denied Chesapeake Energy's bid to convert a residential lot to business use, a decision Councilman Ed Shadid characterized as a “turning point” in efforts to preserve residential neighborhoods in northwest Oklahoma City.
Chesapeake owns commercial property wrapping around the corner of NW 50 and Western Avenue. It wanted to expand parking onto its adjacent residential lot at 1009 NW 49.
These are all the properties they own in that area; you can see by the original site plan below that it didn't even include those two now-demolished houses on 49th; however, it eventually changed to the last image which shows expansion into the neighborhood and the closing of 49th:

Re: NW 50th & Western
Their secrecy has never served them well. From today's story in the Oklahoman:
“City staff and neighborhoods are all left to guess how the development is going to grow,” he (Shadid) said.
Shadid asked attorney Dennis Box, who represented Chesapeake, whether he could tell council members what the energy company planned for the proposed building at NW 49 and Western.
“I would if I knew,” Box said.
A spokesman for Chesapeake Energy, Jim Gipson, declined to comment.

Re: NW 50th & Western
It doesn't surprise me that the lawyers don't know, they have always operated under a "need to know" basis don't feel like anyone needs to know what they want to do. I know in Austin there were a few who tried to operate like that but were routinely shot down by the planning commission, they could never get anything to the city council because they wouldn't tell the planning commission anything. They wouldn't listen to the advice of long time Austin developers, they were the type who didn't like anyone questioning what they did. Some were used to the behind closed door deals they did in the Houston area and were shocked they couldn't get the same type of response in Austin.

SEC NW 50th & Western
Planning Commission approved an ABC-2 liquor license for a proposed Hideaway Pizza on the property owned by Chesapeake on the southeast corner of NW 50th and Western.
You may recall that CHK originally proposed a high-style convenience store for this location after scraping multiple acquired properties. The land has sat vacant for several years.
The property as of yet has not been sold and the plan shows a bank building and drive-thru lanes to the east and another proposed, smaller restaurant to the south.
With a patio on the north side, the Hideaway would have approximately 6,900 square feet.
There is a current Hideaway location about 1.5 miles north on Western. The Wedge is very nearby as well.
McGuiness -- directly to the north -- offered a letter of support.

Re: SWC NW 50th & Western
Why would they put one so close to the other location on Western? Is that Hideaway moving here?

Re: SWC NW 50th & Western
Fascinating. This would be a great addition to this strip! I'm quite confident this would not compete much with the Wedge. The two pizzerias just have a totally different vibe and product with Hideaway is also much more focused on takeout orders than is the Wedge. But what I do wonder is how much this will compete with their existing Nichols Hills location? I feel that is likely to be a much bigger drain (on both locations) than the Wedge might be on this location (and vice-versa).

Re: SEC NW 50th & Western
If they actually build that to the corner of 50th/W as it looks on the little map I'm going to give a big kiss to whoever made that decision.
It's the small decisions that make a difference in the long run.

Re: SEC NW 50th & Western
I've been hoping for an OnCue at that location. Now I will be ble to walk to Hideaway.

Re: SEC NW 50th & Western
Although they spent a lot of money on the rebuild after the fire, I suspect most if not all of it was from insurance. I hope they close the northern Western location once this one is open. I don't like the old location because of the terrible parking and poor layout, even after the rebuild.

Re: SEC NW 50th & Western
This property just sold to the new development group for $1.6 million.
Aubrey / CHK paid $4.6 million about 10 years ago.

Re: NW 50th & Western
New plans for this intersection as per Jack Money of the Oklahoman.
http://m.newsok.com/article/5542967
Hideaway Pizza's owners and a local development group are teaming up to bring a new project to a busy corner in north Oklahoma City.
Restaurant owners Brett Murphy and Darren Lister are working with William Mee and Greg Downs of Pro Realty to develop a mixed-use, three-building project with enough room to park about 155 vehicles at NW 50 and Western.
He added the project will be integrated into the neighborhood using both sidewalks and lighting.
"We want to see a lot of walk-up business. We want to enhance that, both from the schools, the surrounding neighborhood and the Western Avenue commercial district," Mee said.

Re: NW 50th & Western
This is actually a super important project. Getting a high quality project pushed to the corner of Western/50th establishes the urban fabric from 36th all the way up to 50th. Right now, you get to 7/11 and it starts to feel more cut off.
