Thread: Costco

    I was sold by him but bought by Western Healthcare Parteners. Sounds like a surgery center of some sort will go there.

    This is who bought it.

    I wouldn't be surprised if this was part of a deal with Costco.

    I also heard Costco at that site will be part of a much larger development, including possibly Crate & Barrel.

    COSTCO usually needs about 18 acres.

    If they are part of the bigger development, they could get by with less.

    The stores themselves are only about 3-4 acres.

    I know a few years ago when they were looking they wanted 15 to 18 acres for 145,000 sf warehouse retail building and a separate gas station and they didn't want to share parking. If I recall correctly they wanted 750 spaces minimum for parking.

    They do have a "newer" business concept that is smaller and can fit on a smaller lot.

    Looking back at post #51 and then looking up the Planning Commission meeting this is what i find.

    SIRE Public Access

    Meeting notes from June 13th.

    Western HealthPlex.

    I still think Saints North

    Ive heard its St Anthonys as well.

    On the other side, I would expect a Costco to eventually happen with a large scale development surrounding it to follow.

    That's $24.30 per square foot!

    The seller is Houghton Heights Limited Partnership which I traced to Don Karchmer (a local developer).
    The buyer is Western Healthcare Partners who I traced to G. David Neff (another local developer / Builder).
    Here is his bio:

    Here is the county assessor link:

    Don also owns the adjacent 92 acres, but I wonder if this 8 acres was carved out for Costco?
    Pete - I think this is $10 per sf.

    Unfortunately Oklahoma City doesn't have the economics demographics that C&B looks for. But who knows.

    OKC could get a Container Store though which I think is a similar concept. Little Rock has one. For C&B, OKC would run into the same problem it has with a lot of retailers, which is why they usually end up in Tulsa. If they decide to overlook that, I can see it being possible. Maybe they know if they can get in the same development as Costco, which will draw from much further than the 5 mile radius they usually look at, it could work.

    So is that good or bad news?

    Good news because a hospital is being built there. Bad news for anyone hoping it would be Costco.

    So is OKC getting a Costco?

    Yes, they will be coming, just nothing official yet.

    I've been told Cabela's has also looked into the site in question.

    Haven't you been following sgt. pepper? Everything that OKC is lacking is due to Walmart saturation.

    That's only the grocery market that is affected/hindered by Wal-Mart.

    Upscale stores like Crate & Barrel may take issue with lack of enough high-income rooftops within a 5 mile radius.

    Here in Lubbock on business. Just saw costco under construction. By the way little over a mile away from SAMs. At 630 pm there were propably about 150 vehicles for the construction crew on site. Lots of people working. Looked it up they are planned for a 100 day construction start to finish to opening.

    That timeframe is typical for Costco. Their normal schedule for a "typical" store is 110 days.

    So Tulsa is not saturated with Wal-Mart's and that is the reason Tulsa gets all the cool, popular stores?
