Its a great project, and Tulsa will have the bragging rights to say they developed the first large scale mixed-used development in a downtown core, compared to OKC.

BIG DEAL, it's way past time everyone gets over the Tulsa vs OKC BS anyway.

I totally agree Rcjunkie. It isn't productive. They should be talking about how to work together not bash one another.

I agree. The Tulsa-OKC rivalry is silly. Having said that, if the competitiveness and/or jealousy can lead to better projects then I'm all for the pettiness continuing.

I don't think he was trying to start a rivalry thread, he was just saying that Tulsa would have the first major mixed use development in downtown. Hopefully OKC will have one soon. I'm glad that Tulsa has this, and it is kinda fun that we have it before OKC. Again, not trying to start a fight, more like healthy competition, no reason for anyone to be bitter. There is plenty that both cities have going for them.

Thanks, some people are just so defensive, lol. I'm just simply congratulating Oklahoma's second largest city, good job Tulsa.

Here's another rendering of the Place One development, shows the scale of the whole development:

^^Thats as good as it gets right there,all buildings will be built right to street level,and all on one block!Any word on the parking sitiuation for this complex?

Underground.

And there's an existing parking garage across the street

As this will be Oklahoma's first true mixed use development is there anything that you guy's could compare this too,so I could get a feel on what this might look like when completed!Also,someone might want to go over to SSC or SSP and start a new proposed thread for either the tallest tower in this development or the entire development in the Tulsa compilation thread!

It's not the only one. The Village on Main in Jenks is ahead of this one. Some of the outer buildings are completed, site work is about done and the core of the buildings is supposed to start in the next two weeks or so. Condos, restaurants, a hotel, an organic grocery store, retail, offices and a medical clinic all with structured parking in the middle in downtown Jenks. The medical clinic and one restaurant are open now.

It's the same developer doing both projects.

I think I like the OnePlace proposal better than this one even if this one is allready off the ground!I just like that OnePlace will be in dt Tulsa across the street from the BOK center and it will be vertical,and more urban imo.

I obviously prefer the one in downtown Tulsa. But given that this is in a suburb, I'm pretty impressed by the density.

^^Agreed,given that is IS a suburb and still Oklahoma's only true mixed use development say's alot!Any new info on this project?Anyone?

dmoor82, I like the one in Jenks better, because there is whole lot more greens. This is extremely important. The one in Tulsa...destructive. Just look at it. Is that what you want Earth to become?

^^Destructive?I? think you mean efficient,urban,sustainable,AWESOME!

Thunder, while that one in Jenks is more spread out, (surface parking, lower density, not AS walkable) it won't be including much green. I frequently drive by this site and can tell you that the size, amount, and even existence of many of those trees is WAY overblown.

If you're worried about saving the planet, then you would prefer the One Place project. That project takes up a lot less space, (leaving more room for trees and grass elsewhere) and includes a lot more square footage. While Village on Main is impressive for a suburb, it is nowhere near as urban or sustainable as One Place.

There was an article in the Tulsa World yesterday about the second groundbreaking for the 5 story office building at the NW corner of this project. It will be primarily occupied by Northwestern Mutual Insurance with street level retail space. The 18 story office building broke ground in July at the NE corner of the site, across from the BOK Center. It will be occupied by Cimarex Energy. The hotel and mixed-use apartments will begin construction next year.

Why are there no decent renderings for this project?

It's a good question....here is the most recent I have seen, of any phase, pete.

That's a good rendering, but the tower is still a gray box.

Anxious to see what the tower itself will look like.

Should be a good infill development for Tulsa.

Yes, not a signature building by any means but much better than a parking lot. The entire complex should be pretty cool once it's complete with the hotel and mixed-use residential components. It should help integrate the BOK Center and Convention Center area better with the rest of downtown to the east.

...see renderings of The Office Tower at One Place:

pretty disappointed with the design, the design doesn't say urban at all, and I hope that is not cement cladding or stucco...but its "ok" they could have done better.

Also disappointed in the design but I think it'll come out fine. It's still overall a great development.

The exterior cladding is precast concrete. I'm curious... what kind of things would make the building more "urban?"

Thought it was as it seems like I've seen it before but was just making sure. Gracias.

Looks like an uglier version of OKC's Robinson Plaza, which is marginal to begin with:

:omg: Pete's right!

Pretty decent for an infill tower..will look better when the 2nd St streetscape is extended west in front of it. Definitely an improvement over a parking lot across from the BOK Center. Both office buildings and the second phase with the hotel and apartments with an interior courtyard and pool will make this a top notch development. The second phase is also supposed to have more retail and restaurant space.

Like I said; not so impressive design, but great development.

Oh lawd have mercy!!! Please don't let it look like that...

While the design of this building is horribly unimaginative, it adds more office and retail to downtown and is a heck of a lot better than a parking lot. I actually don't think it will look bad upon completion, it just won't be anything you want to stare at. Hopefully the rest of the complex will look more like the insurance company's building.

Even though the design for this building is nothing to get excited about, the entire development is definitely a huge gain for Tulsa. And you never know, one day this may be a cool style that we think looks good. No I'm not kidding.

Also, the other renderings do make the building look better.

You and BG918 made the same points and I agree with both of you, I've just been more "short sentence" about it. Lol

Thank you so much!

The street level is actually kind of nice. But that tower is seriously fugly.

Here in Okc we throw these measly $38M into the gutter. Just ask Bomasada,.....
A $38 million housing development was recently scrapped in response to ongoing delays by Oklahoma City to create a railroad quiet zone along Automobile Alley.

Been discussed already over in the Automobile Alley thread.

The exterior cladding is precast concrete. I'm curious... what kind of things would make the building more "urban?"

Brick or masonry, tall narrow windows, and thick exterior walls on the lower floors. It also helps getting the building as close to the street as possible, and of course the narrower the street the better.

Kerry stresses the same point everytime he posts about urbanism. LOL

He asked what makes a building more urban so I told him. Do you not think the 3 story building I posted looks more urban than the 20 story building in Tulsa? The Tulsa building might as well be built out in a suburban office park - it is indistinguishable from every other building built in every office park across the country.

LOL I never said I disagreed with you...it does look more urban though since you asked.
