    Does anyone have any information on recent development in this area (post hideous storage spaces at Brandon Place)? Something is underway just west of ProCure on NW corner of the intersection, and steel is being erected east of the climbing facility just south of the development on Memorial Eastbound, west of MacArthur. Pete? Anybody?
    TIA

    Directly east of Threshold Climbing is a 4-story Homewood Suites hotel.

    Next to ProCure is Mabrey Bank (1 story).

    Thanks Pete! I’ve been wondering why the opaque fencing on the bank site. Perhaps secretive for installation of vault.

    Can’t find it on map nor a thread, but seeing a new building and curious what it is. This is west of MacArthur close to Memorial Rd and behind (south and east) of Hideaway on Westlake Memorial Parkway east of Threshold Climbing. Looks like apts?

    Anyone?

    https://homewoodsuites3.hilton.com/e...ng-hotels.html

    Volcano Sushi Bar is going in the new strip center just west of Charslestons.

    They have locations in Moore, Del City and the southside.

    Very good value for the price. On tuesdays they have bogo rolls.

    I hate this area. It's not thought out or planned at all. They just put up boxes on empty lots because there is an empty space there. And then surround them with a sea of parking.

    Maybe if a developer planned this out then it would be a coherent and walkable design. Same goes for the north side of Memorial as well as the west side of MacArthur too. And this isn't the only area in the metro like this. This seems to be the standard in OKC rather than the exception. It's a poor and inefficient use of land. And it looks ugly.

    I really do hate to be a negative Nelly but when I drive by a place like this, I just see wasted potential.

    It's exactly like every other development along Memorial.

    And I agree, it's all pretty bad.

    Would look a million times better if they spent some money burying the power lines and putting in some evergreen-type landscaping along the frontage, but none of the developers / tenants seem interested in losing street visibility.

    There is a sports clips sign hanging on this building. Did that fall through?

    Great Clips.

    I think it's going between the two restaurants.

    Is that the same Pepperoni Grill as what is in Penn Square? If so, will this be a 2nd location?
