disappointed about the demos
disappointed about the demos
Do we know what they plan on putting in place of the demoed buildings?
I suspect and fear surface parking for the concert venue
I wouldn't think so. According to plans released for 901 W Sheridan, renderings and site plans hint at 3-5 story infill for that lot, perhaps a mixture of residential and retail.
Pete has posted those in the 901 thread and Steve also wrote a story with the same pictures on newsok.
ah, missed that
So how do we demo these buildings without knowing? Does it just not even matter at this point?
Keep the metal bldg but tear down the brick ones.. Pete, any chance it's the other way around? That would make more sense..
The nearer buildings in that photo (that I like) are West-most I thought. Was I just confused (likely) about which were getting demoed?
This area would be perfect for a development similar to West 7th Street in Fort Worth. West 7th Property | Fort Worth, Texas
Google West DT Fort Worth or West 7th Street. Pretty great stuff they have going on.
All the apartment include parking but none of it is on the street front. All is wedged between the development. DT Fort Worth is one of my favorite places and has a TON our leadership can learn from. Basically if we hasn't destroyed 80% of our DT over the year our street life/retail/development could be on par with DT Fort Worth. If you haven't been I highly recommend you visiting.
West 7th is really large and well done. I've been over there a bunch of times. My one complaint is that the development feels too sterile, too clean. It just goes to show that some old building stock and grit complement new developments like West 7th. Having said that, it'd be great to get something like it.
Steve's update on this area.

New plans being submitted this week to the Downtown Design Review Committee indicate developers are moving forward with efforts to build a dense mix of housing and retail surrounding the historic Fred Jones Assembly Plant.
The newest plans show the facades of two decades-old brick warehouses at Classen and Sheridan also will be retained as the base for some of the apartments and garage parking.
Fantastic
Posting this link again since it got cut off by the page break.
Flipping cool project:
OKCTalk - Detailed plans revealed for Residences at 21c on Film Row
Wow, really excited to see all of these projects popping up! Can't wait to see what this area looks like over the next few years.
Game changer!
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
This area needs a future streetcar spur, or whatever they call it.
Yassssss!!!!
Pete, do you know if there are any plans to redo the alley between the development and the 21c? I would think something like what the did in midtown between Packards and The Garage would work well.
