Good article on the booming construction in downtown Tulsa:

Tulsa is overdue for a skyline update. Hopefully a super tall is announced for the financial district this decade at some point. Good impressions will be made for people passing through the state on I-44.

Tulsa is overdue for a skyline update. Hopefully a super tall is announced for the financial district this decade at some point. Good impressions will be made for people passing through the state on I-44.

Office is likely set for awhile with two new towers currently under construction. It would have to be either residential or hotel. I'd rather see more 4-5 story infill in the existing parking lots rather than another tower at least over the next several years.

The 4-5 story infill is going to come no matter what. I don’t understand why that always has to be pitted up against skyscrapers.

A nice boutique hotel slated to break ground in north Tulsa and wrap up around 2023:

Oh wow! This is great for North Tulsa. Naming it after J.B. Stradford is icing on top.

PAC approves sale of adjacent parking lot... going to be mixed use apartments, hotel, retail, and grocery store. Not going to be the massive tower as some speculated, however this is a huge development for Tulsa. Downtown population has been booming, a grocery store will solidify that for years to come.

This means that two full blocks of downtown tulsa will be under construction with mixed use developments. Two giant surface parking areas turning into mid-rise buildings full of apartments, offices, hotel, and retail. Massive, massive jump for our downtown. When these projects are finished in a couple years downtown will truly be vibrant again. There are still plenty of empty lots to fill, but this is critical mass at this point.

There's been a ton of new apartments added downtown in recent years and several more projects ongoing. At this rate, one project leads to the next and I am truly excited to see what comes after this.

Very nice and informative article too. I was only briefly taught about the tragedies that happened in Tulsa but nothing in depth so it is interesting to learn more about it. I need to watch a documentary on the issue. Very happy to see more investments being made here.

Tulsa is getting a 2nd Costco - Apparently up north by the airport. An odd location in my opinion; if they wanted the owasso market then just build it there.

It’s within Tulsa city limits so will likely pull from central Tulsa and northern suburbs like Owasso, Collinsvillle and Claremore

Another rendering from the 2nd & Detroit intersection. Parking will be located underneath the grocery store

I love that!

Another construction crane going up in Tulsa, this time at the Santa Fe Square development. There will be another on the other side of this development as well. With The Annex kicking off next year, there will be a handful of cranes around downtown for some time.

I need to run around again get a full update of what has been completed in the past year for this forum. So many projects that would have gotten us tremendously excited a few years ago have wrapped up with little fan fare.

[formerly405Tulsan]

Downtown today and all I can say is WOW. The former WPX building is coming together great. May be my new favorite building downtown. Has such an amazing presence.

congratulation on the supermarket for DTT.

I for the life of me can't understand why this is so difficult for Downtown OKC - isn't there more people/residents there? yet getting an urban (or any) supermarket seems like such a long reach. ...

The residential portion of Santa Fe Square will start construction next summer. There will be two brick-clad four story buildings with apartments over a large amount of retail/restaurant space surrounding a plaza on 2nd St. The parking for the office tower, apartments and retail will be in the new garage under construction at 1st & Greenwood. New renderings will be released soon.

[shavethewhales]

It's a far cry from what was originally proposed for the block in terms of apartments and retail amenities, but I guess we should be glad we are getting "something". The retail under the apartments will be the biggest game changer in this area. Finally some cohesion between the McNellies block and the rest of the Bluedome rather than having a parking crater in the middle of it all. The parking garage will be useful, and the office tower on top of that will at least make the area look more dense and maybe provide even more foot traffic during the day.

The WPX building is indeed awesome. Just a massive building that would have been a tremendous corporate HQ. What a waste to chop it up into suite office space.

[shavethewhales]

Former WPX HQ, now just a massive spec office tower.


The OKPOP museum is nearing completion.


21 Greenwood (Greenarch phase 2)



This is a twelve story parking garage/office tower going up on Santa Fe Square.

[Laramie]

Good looking building.

Glad to see that progress was completed on this project. A great addition to DT Tulsa.

$60 Million Development near Mother Road Market (11th and Lewis). One of a few larger mixed use projects in the mix for this area. Should turn into a neighborhood that can compare with Cherry St and Brookside eventually.

https://tulsaworld.com/business/loca...=home-breaking



Really like the quote about creating a neighborhood with walking at the forefront.

"We want there to be walk-ability. We want more people in a dense area in a hub where you can have commercial offerings and public space and where you can co-mingle with the neighbors and really kind of create a neighborhood experience."

"Community spaces will include 11,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, a central neighborhood gathering space complete with trees, native plantings and festive lighting, planned public art and added lighting and security for the area."

Shoutout to the lobeck-Taylor foundation for making 11th and Lewis a desired destination.

Not long ago 11th & Lewis was a sketchy area. Great to see the transformation there and also along 11th closer to downtown. Hopefully this leads to more redevelopment just to the east by TU, that stretch has a lot of potential to be a “Campus Corner” type area. Same for extending the Kendall-Whittier Square area further south along Lewis where TU plans to build a new Cyber District.

The PAC lot project is moving forward. Sounds like construction could start as early as this summer. Another giant empty surface lot covered up in mixed use development. As has been mentioned, Santa Fe Square is also underway and the apartment portion of that should be starting around the same time. Lots of empty space suddenly being filled.

[Swake]

New mixed use project in Brookside on the SE corner of 36th and Peoria where Brookside Baptist Church is now.
