I know fritts farms owns that property, as to what might go in, I dont know, Carls Jr is suppose to relocate there.The Carl's Jr is being built on the north side of 19th Street on the east side of the entrance directly north of Fritts Blvd at the light.

At the last P&Z meeting it was approved by the commission to allow about 80 of the mobile homes north of 19th to be moved to another location so that the Royal Rock Park shopping center could proceed. The road extending north from 19th at the light at Fritts Blvd will be named Max Morgan Blvd and it is planned to connect to 17th street which then connects to Telephone Road.

On the west side of the new Max Morgan Blvd at 19th Street (on the north side) is where BancFirst has purchased land for a new branch.

The Starbucks is on the south side of 19th Street on the Fritts Farm addition and is farther east - just west of the corner where the creek is located.

YAY!!! I'm so excited to have yet another bank branch. Hopefully a new church will go in right beside it or in close proximity. That would REALLY make my day.

That would REALLY make my day.You can complain and whine and make fun of it all you want but without the out parcel sales the development of the rest of the center is made much more difficult financially.

BancFirst is a financially stable, Oklahoma company. They very likely have customers in the market that would use a branch on 19th Street especially as fuel remains expensive. The out parcel helps the developer attract other potential tenants.

Arvest is on Santa Fe just south of 19th. IBC is just west on 19th. There's a First Fidelity branch inside the Wal-mart and an American Bank south of 19th on the I-35 access road. There's no BOK or BOA or Chase or any other banks that people using 19th might patronize. Market area still appears to be under served in any number of segments.

Moore is getting a Best Buy, Moore is not getting a Best Buy, Crossroads Best Buy is closing, Crossroads Best Buy isn't closing, and there will be one in Moore, too......

the rumors go on and on.

IS Moore actually getting a Best Buy? Does anyone have any information on that? I have seen sooo many rumors and would like to get an answer.

I saw the Royal Rock shopping center, I'm also wondering what would go in there. I hope it's not a bunch of randomness.

I figure that the big store being built just behind the new AT&T store is either Best Buy or Petsmart.

On the links, it had the proposed Super Target? I didn't even know that was even a consideration for the space between The Fairways and Home Depot.

On a side note, the phases of the development completely cover portions of the mobile home park.

Granted, mobile home parks aren't exactly beautiful, but they are homes. I'm wondering about property values in the area with all the commercial development.

The traffic.....between Southmoore, a possible Super Target, and all of that stuff, 19th Street is going to be the ultimate nightmare.

I live in plaza towers right by the elementry, we bought one year ago, our house value went up so far $2,500, so thats pretty good for older smaller homes. The problem is the traffic is reallly bad on 19th as it is and 4th is not that great..Just wait till all this is built, but it is nice to have everything you need within walking distance, plus the little river park has plans to connect to the river walk, so there will be one large walking trail almost stretching the lenth of the city in the western part of moore..

I always hate to see it when my property value goes up it just means less money in my pocket I hope it will soon level off or start going down some.

unless you are planning to sell, which i am not right away but maybe in 3 or 4 years, I want to live on the east side of moore by bryant and 12th, but for a young family starting out, it isnt much of a selection over in that area, houses are lot higher.

Any idea what's going up next to Office Depot in Moore? It looks big, and I'm hoping for something nice :)

Even though I don't shop there, I think it might be an Old Navy, I don't know why, but it "feels" like it to me.

Oh GAWD the Smell!

Really?! A Hastings? I love Hastings! I would love not to have to traipse all the way to Norman to get there. Moore is still a long way from Edmond, but it's better than Norman. Somebody needs to convince them to put one in Edmond. Maybe next time I drive through Amarillo, I'll have to stop and put a bug in someone's ear.

I want a good Bookstore. The Barnes&Noble in Norman is terrible (imo, mainly because of the layout) and I'd be happy with a Hastings. I'd really like a Borders...

I could really pass on another chain shoe store.

I hope they are not building an Old Navy next to Office Depot, considering Gap, Inc., is about to bite the dust.

Ok I might be a little off but if you are talking about the building just to the south of Waffle House/Carl's Jr. that is being built that would be a Bed Bath and Beyond that is under construction. I was told the Ricky's was 60 days from completion but the guy didnt seem to sure he was going to finish in that time frame.

Oh GAWD the Smell!

Well, it definitely looks like something is going on between the shopping center that has Alfredo's in it and Russell Stovers. A sign for DH French Construction is up, and I searched there website (Home | DHFrench (http://www.dhfrenchconstruction.com)) and found nothing related to Moore. They did have some other nice projects going on throughout the State, so I am hopeful that something nice will be coming to that area soon.
Any ideas on what it might be? Italian restaurant maybe?

Springhill Suites aren't generally high rise hotels. They're of the apartment-style variety with curb-side parking, usually.

There is a new Springhill Suites on I-40 and MacArthur. The one in Moore is 4 story and 84 rooms, it will have roughly the same footprint as the La Quinta off of 19th Street. From what I heard from one of the investors, they are also looking at building a Holiday Inn Express in that same area, not sure on this one though.
