Thread: Heartland HQ

    ^^^^^^^
    Yep. Also for liability and long-term maintenance reasons. This came up in the dicussion regarding the building under construction on Broadway north of 10th. The City generally will not allow balconies or other protrusions to extend over public rights of way such as sidewalks and streets. Note that the cantilevered room extends over private property.

    And I don't know about you, but I'd probably get more distracted in a meeting in a glass room floating over Broadway than in a semi-private area.

    Asking for $1,000,000 in incentives. Well worth it.

    The company, which recently confirmed its move, is guaranteeing 345 new jobs over five years as part of the proposal... ...The application indicates the average first-year wage will total $59,172 and that the company's total investment over the first seven years will be $489 million.
    Saw the article in today's Oklahoman; will they also qualify for Oklahoma's Quality Jobs' incentives?

    Should be well worth the ROI.

    Never been a huge fan of all the incentives, but this is an exception. They helped us beat places that are well-known to throw the bank at companies to get them to move there.

    I hate incentives but if it’s what we have to do to win, I much prefer winning. Especially for things like this.

    Everyone does it. Denver and the State of Colorado gave VF Corp $27 million in incentives for VF to locate part of their corporate HQ to Denver in return for 700 new jobs.

    Corporations over inflate those job they promise to bring; however if they can deliver on half where they claim to generate say 1,000 or more job it's more of a win situation. They will qualify for the Oklahoma quality jobs programs as well as any incentives provided by the city.

    They closed on the land a couple of weeks ago.

    I imagine they are working on construction drawings.

    Building permit application filed today for this project.

    Work should start not long after the first the year.

    I'm not at all the kind of person that wants to see three 40 story towers go up at the expense of infill, but I will say that I would much rather see five 7-10 story buildings go up than ten 3-4 story buildings go up. A good mix is ideal in general, but we sorely lack in buildings that are 7 to 15 stories. Those heights require concrete construction and they are better use of land. Would love to see this be a relatively pedestrian type development for south Midtown (4th to 8th, Robinson to Walker).

    Beautiful design and a home run project for the gateway of Auto Alley. An LED band around the crown would be a nice touch though. Are there any nighttime renderings that show potential exterior lighting? Heartland HQ, Broadway Park, and the OKC Contemporary are all amazing projects that bring quality, height, and infill to this area.

    They have already worked out a deal to share that garage.

    Nothing happening here yet.

    Building permit is likely a few months from being issued.

    Just drove by today and a considerable amount of steel is going up. They aren’t playing any games with this

    Did they set up a tower crane for this. I was hoping they'd get a tower crane set up. The more the merrier!
