Oklahoma City Urban Renewal Authority

If you want to see the details ASAP and also probably see the plans for OG&E Tower, stop on by.

I'll request all the materials from OCURA and post them hopefully sometime that day.

Is anyone else as excited about tomorrow as I am???

[Pete]

So, the opening of any applications is today at 10AM.

I'm sure Steve Lackmeyer will be at the meeting and I've asked OCURA to send me the electronic applications as soon as they are made public.

We should have good information very soon.

Do we know how many submissions were made?

No, that is not revealed in advance.

There was talk of a locals submitting in addition to Clayco but I know one prominent group passed because the 60 day window did not give them enough time to do meaningful analysis.

Residential towers proposed by two firms for property south of former Stage Center site | News OK

Wow! A little variety would be nice, but very classy.

[Anonymous.]

Is this real life?

[catch22]

Four towers. Not bad.

[UnFrSaKn]

I said it before and I'l say it again.. Sweet!

[Pete]

To summarize:

Clayco:
North parcel: 25 story office tower (OG&E), 26 story residential
South parcel: 26 story office tower, 25 story residential
Also has small law office parcel under contract

Milhaus (developer of LIFT):
South parcel only: 20 story residential / commerical with parking

n/m, read the report too fast

[catch22]

Why is the Preftakes block leveled?

[shavethewhales]

I know we're already talking about this in the Stage Center thread, but I feel like we should move the discussion here.

So the Clayco proposal is actually for FOUR buildings!

What's up with that Milhaus proposal though? Looks like they ran out of time to scrap a real idea together. Or was it created just so there are supposedly two options to choose from?

[Pete]

Wait, so is that 4 towers on JUST the south block? Not including the demolished stage center north portion where OGE/Rainey plans to build?

No, read my post above yours.

Under the Clayco proposal the old Stage Center site is the North Parcel and it will have a 25 and 26 story building; same as the South Parcel.

Clayco will build on the North Parcel regardless of what happens on the South Parcel, which could still be awarded to Milhaus (unlikely).

[Bellaboo]

World Class at that ! Yes RAMSA !

These should be around 450 feet.

[catch22]

Without seeing the detailed plans. I like it, I love the design. I love the California ROW is preserved. I hate the sky walk between the two blocks. Oh well, can't win them all. Would like to see some site plans and more renderings. Looks good though.

[Pete]

It appears that the North Parcel building bordering the park (OG&E Tower) is 26 stories and the South Parcel building bordering the park would be a 26-story residential structure.

The behind (west) each of these: North Parcel 25-story residential and South Parcel 25-story office.

[jccouger]

So if Milhaus isn't awarded the contract, will the proposal by Clayco dry up all of the forecasted demand for residential, parking & commercial? Or do you think they will actively pursue another close by location?

[bchris02]

So basically the north parcel is guaranteed to be two towers, but the south parcel could still be awarded to Milhaus who would build a single tower instead of two?

I would be disappointed if Milhaus got the go ahead. 2 is better than 1

I would say Milhaus has a very tiny chance of getting it. They most likely made a proposal just in case Clayco got ruled out on a technicality or mistake on Clayco's part (failing to deliver the packet on time).

The Milhaus is for the south of Stage Center site and this one is for the Stage Center site. While this one (OG&E Tower) I completely blown away and enamored with, I feel a little let down by the other one (Milhaus). It looks like the old Oklahoman building on Broadway Extension which I never liked the looks of. Hopefully this is just preliminary and the final product will be much more attractive.
