a chipotle or qdoba would be great. no existing locations in the inner core, so a win/win.

Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
With Echo's recent problems, I wonder how many employees they have left to move to this building?
Anyone know?
For all Echo's problems, work is continuing here on the Parkside Buildings (photos from Lingo Construction's FB page):
Took these last night:
Echo already moving out...

Our CBD is about to be completely dead.
They also filed for bankruptcy a week ago. That probably has more to do with it than the ‘Rona.
Wonder why steve-o left that out
Who needs $$ office space when those who can are working from home?

Hilarious that the CEO is calling the building "The Zig." I'll give him some credit, though: he and Kate do know how to raise cash, even if they aren't necessarily great at generating returns.
Kanady said his company also remains committed to maintaining Kerr Park “as active and vibrant as possible.”
“We view Kerr Park as a public backyard perfect for lots of outdoor activity and we want the entire city to enjoy it with us,” Kanady said. “The Zig should be nothing but to be additive to Kerr Park and the downtown community. Now that Echo has moved in, our hope is the Zig functions as more connective tissue at the intersection of Automobile Alley, Deep Deuce, Scissortail Park, Film Row and Bricktown.”
Zig short for Ziggurat? Oddly not pyramidal.
They definitely have considerably less than 80 employees currently. Cut that number in half and you are closer to the truth.
As for the bankruptcy, this is their former operated business line which sold at auction a couple months ago. They still have their mineral fund which has kept them afloat, but is struggling like all other companies in the energy sector.

Wow...that is awesome! Now for that tall, brown, empty building right behind it. Hmmm what creative guy owns that...who could it be??
The economics for it probably aren't there, but one of the levels of that would make for a restaurant with a lovely view. Though I suppose it would be better if we had a similar setup facing Myriad or Scissortail.
I think they were trying to get a restaurant for the ground floor
There is restaurant space on the southeast corner which would include the big patio just outside.
At one time, A Good Egg group had signed up to operate there but after all the delays and change in ownership, that fell through.
The current owner (Echo Energy) has been trying to find someone to operate that space to no avail.
This building is being referred to as "Ziggurat building" in an innovation district article...
Oh good, thought it was like an official thing
Wheeler Bio just filed plans to renovate the "Park Level" and second floor of this building. Makes sense since they are backed by the same guy as Echo Energy.
