Future freeway?
Um no.
I took it as a reference to the extension of the Hefner Parkway, which would be 1.5 miles to the west.

Um no.
Whether you like or not, Hefner parkway is currently being expanded.

Pete, are we sure this is completely dead? I went by last night and I'm actually going to go there tonight to double check, but they are building what looks like to be some urban housing right up against the streets. The existing development within Tuscana doesn't appear to be in the development area.
This is the original plan

This is where new construction is taking plan that looks to be in line with original plans

Here is a smaller piece for reference

I'm going to go work out at Golds right now and I'll swing by; if it's bright enough I'll get some pictures & I'll get some tomorrow as well. These apartments are being built right to the street. Parallel parking already exists. I will try and see tonight if they are building out new roads. Also, I know the existing construction was nothing near the urban development they had planned, but if you notice, it's not specified was going to go where they are located now.

The more I look at it, the more it looks like those apartments were built so they could continue the original plan if they wanted to.

When I get back home I'll update the map I outlined in blue. Unfortunately it does not appear that they are building a parking garage and it looks to be suburban apartments with a clubhouse. :(
Does anyone have any renderings or plans for the current development?
Its on the OKCgov website somewhere but I'm having trouble finding it but I know the phase they are building to the south is all apartments and what they just got approved on or have been pushing on the east side is all duplexs, tri and quadplexs I believe. From the original PUD they specified exactly how much housing they could have in this development and planning was giving them a more difficult time because they are already pretty close to that number since all they have done is housing there.
Alright Plu Pan here is what I was able to find. 10510
and here was their december application that I'm sure they have changed a little. http://www.okc.gov/agendapub/cache/2/4cf3zp55vkl0jp45bqw2wg55/254961103252015090749412.PDF
And then the area thats being built farther south which is what you were asking about to begin with is this proposal http://www.okc.gov/agendapub/cache/2/4cf3zp55vkl0jp45bqw2wg55/259155103252015091451576.PDF

Apparently development on this land is getting ready to go full tilt. I live in one of the neighborhoods north of the development, and our HOA has been approached by the lawyers of the developer(s) to discuss the development. It looks like all of the land is going to be developed, but I can't tell from the materials that have been distributed if it is going to have the Tuscana theme. The layout of the development does not look at all like what Is shown above.
It looks like there are going to be at least 3 apartment complexes on the property (that includes the one already completed), homes/garden homes/duplexes (it is not very clear), office buildings, and retail. I don't see anything that resembles a big box retailer or a fast food-type building in the plans. Our HOA has called a meeting this Thursday to talk about the plans. I'll share anything that I find out.

It will be interesting to see what becomes of this and if there will in fact be any mixed use components. There are developments all over suburban DFW that are primarily residential but have retail/restaurants on the first floor. It would be nice to see a few of these in OKC.

I highly doubt it will be as ambitious as originally planned, but one can hope.

Agreed. However, the fact that it is getting developed at all is a pleasant surprise at this point.
