Across the street from the last project is a $70 million mixed use complex including 300 apartments and retail:


Another large development is at Main and US-75. The Gateway Development where Kevin Stitt's Gateway company is based. A second office building is under construction, a third is planned. A hotel just opened. A 8 story hospital is planned and an indoor shooting complex is planned.

Jenks is a powerhouse.

This development looks awesome.

This development looks awesome.

That is currently an empty lot on Main Street at the RR tracks. Hopefully it's able to get off the ground, it will fill a huge hole.

Another view of the Paine & Assoc. project which is on the other side of the RR tracks. It replaces an empty building and lumber yard next to Rustic Gate Creamery and George's Pub. Great spot for a future commuter rail station with a direct rail line to downtown Tulsa

[HangryHippo]

Awesome! I need to get up there and drive around. It seems like there are tons of these projects all over Tulsa.

ANOTHER huge Jenks development: https://www.newson6.com/story/63f36e...oming-to-jenks

Absolutely wild how much they are getting. It's like a dam has burst all the sudden. The outlet mall, the big mixed use, the Paine & Assoc. project BG918 posted above, and now this. Crazy.

Sure hope Sapulpa gets a little splash over soon. We've got a bunch of new business coming into our downtown but ultimately we have a new master plan to bring in some major development like this.

I wish OKC suburbs were doing this well. None are anywhere close to getting a Lululemon, or anything comparable to it.

Norman hates development, Moore only allows crappy strip malls, Edmond, for some reason, doesn't have any upscale retail developments. I just don't get it.

Ironically, I think the announcement of the new dam helped:

Agree, still a ways out but at least it's in the works

Survey, design, and engineering work is expected to begin in early 2024 and continue through 2025, with construction beginning in mid-2025. A completion date is expected by mid-2027.

The dam will also have a pedestrian bridge

Not tooooo far out. 4 years will be here before you know it and most of these proposed projects will start opening over the next 1-2 years. I bet that area becomes a lot more popular as 2027 nears...good call on them getting out ahead of it.

[shavethewhales]

It's insane how much has been proposed in that area for the next few years. It's said a lot, but it will be completely unrecognizable. I just can't believe it took so long for all this development to catch on. Jenks has been a hot spot for the suburbs for a long time.

This dam/bridge and all the revitalized green space will interact well with the several large new businesses going in which include new restaurants, pickleball courts, and other entertainment - not to mention the outlet mall!
