OAK (formerly Penn Central)

[Pete]

The building permit was just filed for Mesero.

The pace is really going to accelerate at this development as everyone is aiming to open this fall.

I'm just gonna avoid that whole mess on pages 63/64. Anyway; are there any listed or scheduled improvements coming to the the Penn/Expressway block for pedestrians? Speaking out loud but it seems rather hard to justify going from Penn Square to OAK when there's 15 lanes of traffic to navigate.

[Dob Hooligan]

Man, that a lot of work. Here how I live 7 days a week.

I was just onsite at the OAK this morning for a tour. they are trying to get the MAPS4 Will Rogers trail to run along there. Not sure if it will happen but there is a chance. They are shooting for September 1st for the opening. The stores will follow behind a few days except for Restoration Hardware.

The bike path (the infamous 'sharrow' markings, anyway) runs down Youngs right near OAK.

From there, Youngs runs south and under I-44, so cyclists can make the passage safely.

You'll see about another 10-15 new-to-market retailers at OAK in the near future.

How many, total, are they shooting for?

Do you get the sense that there's already LOIs for all the currently built space?

[GaryOKC6]

They are currently working with a new to market clothing retailer. Also restaurant pad sites across the street at Red Carpet.

They have about 10-15 retail spaces depending on the size of the tenants; a few of those might be small food places. They have all the Phase II space which will likely be all restaurants. There will also be retail/restaurant space on the ground floor of the office building and it looks like they are planning a small building between it and Pottery Barn.

I think new announcements will start trickling out soon. I've heard lots of different names, but no idea which ones have actually signed on the line which is dotted.

If I haven't mentioned it before, I know they were close with Design Within Reach but now it appears they are plenty loaded on home places. I hope that mean DWR goes elsewhere in OKC.

Pete, Based on one of their social media posts I think that
Small building will be an event space that can be rented out.

I mean, if it's a total lean in, I'm like 1000% here for this.

Also, having this connected to the Will Rogers trail would be BIG for me and I love hearing that.

I'm gonna ask here, and not google....what are you saying? Is this some kinda young people slang?

[Dob Hooligan]

I hope my comments read as funny as I think they are when I'm typing.

[Colbafone]

Shout out Value Village Thrift Store in Del City. Them threads are built to last.

This place is SO GOOD! The Del City/MWC area has some PRIME thrift stores. My spouse and I drive from north Edmond (I guess Edmond is too good for thrift stores? It sucks) pretty often just to check them all out.

It’s an involved way of saying you dress sharp, haha.

Don’t worry, they do - at least to me - hence my responses.

[formerly405Tulsan]

This is a completely false narrative (Tulsa gets stores first) that is easily disproven:

OKC v. Tulsa Retail

Just FYI, Pendleton closed in Tulsa, and they are getting or currently now have the following. I'll try and update the thread with some other things I see around tulsa.

Lego Store
Floor & Decor
Rye 51
REI
Dry Goods
Dashmart
Johnny Was
Popshelf
Dick's House of Sport (71st location currently being remodeled)

Cover the nakedness, don't embarrass the family, and don't frighten the general public. That's my clothing mantra.

Wonder if an Abercrombie and fitch would ever come back to OKC?

[progressiveboy]

Anxiously waiting to see what new to market retailers and restaurants sign actual leases! As I mentioned earlier in this thread, Peter Millar would be a great fit for the men and Tori Burch for the ladies. Louis Vuitton too!

[Patrick]

Wonder if an Abercrombie and fitch would ever come back to OKC?

Doubt it. Abercrombie just isn't doing well. That being said, they did re-open Hollister at Penn Square, which is owned by Abercrombie.

Man, Pottery Barn is flying. They must be ready to get out of Penn!
