Thanks guys.

I've updated the numbers in the first post to reflect the changes.

This article says that 2/6 City Place penthouses were sold. Did 2 more just sell?

http://www.newson6.com/story/17051723/downtown-okc-penthouse-provides-luxurious-views

Yes.

Sweet.

The news story probably played a role in that.

Believe the Hill is closer to 20... Have sold 6-7 in last month.

The numbers on The Hill (and others) are straight from the County Assessor's site.

There may be units under contract but not yet closed and with a recorded deed.

Very nicely done, Pete.

are there no units in Automobile Alley, Film Row, or the other districts? what about Midtown and SOSA?

If 4 City Place apartments have indeed sold, and they are primary residences for local people, then a paradigm shift has occurred in Oklahoma City. That implies that the idea of living downtown is now acceptable to the wealthy in OKC. That was not the case four to five years ago. Pretty much, if you had large amounts of money, you lived in Nichols Hills, with only a few outliers, none of whom were downtown.

Well keep in mind, Gailardia was once an outlier for the uber wealthy also.

are there no units in Automobile Alley, Film Row, or the other districts? what about Midtown and SOSA?

I'll do a separate list for Midtown / Auto Alley.

As for SOSA, that's very difficult to determine because it's mainly single family residences.

Well keep in mind, Gailardia was once an outlier for the uber wealthy also.

Gailardia is primarily an outpost of the nouveau riche. Most of the uber wealthy live in Nichols Hills. Except for the penthouse, City Place is probably for the riche, not the ubers. It will be interesting to see who else is living there.

nba player(s) perhaps? :)

I think that may have been the target buyer for the penthouse, but there are only so many of those now. Of course, ironically, KD (and perhaps some others?) now live in the aforementioned Gailardia.

Here is a brand new downtown housing study; or at least the executive summary.

I've added a bunch of information, including an index to all downtown housing projects.

Click on the ARTICLE tab at the top of the page.

What about the Garage Lofts, The Sieber Apartments and wasn't Marva Ellard's 6th and Hudson project supposed to have more than 2 units (I didn't know any were completed)?

The old Allen's Cafe - they're working on the historic bldg now, and they were going to build I think 4 townhomes after that. There's a thread for that project around here somewhere. This is a work in progress as Pete is constantly reminding us, but even if there's something we've left out (even if you think we're already aware), please remind us and let us know!

Can anyone edit the article? Cline has 2 units.

Thanks, I just didn't see the Garage Lofts or the Sieber.

Yeah, anyone should be able to, the just better know their stuff. I think The Cline has 6 units? Its article is here: http://www.okctalk.com/showwiki.php?title=Cline+The

Thanks for the input.

I've added the Sieber and Garage Lofts.

The Cline has 12 units, and I've made that change as well.


Normally, any subscriber can edit an article (plus others who write me and ask for access) but in this case I actually keep this information on an external spreadsheet, due to the calculations.

So, merely list anything that has been missed and it will be added.

905 NW 12th and Francis Residential Building (1217 N. Francis), both Midtown Renaissance projects.

http://midtownr.com/View.aspx?type=res

Cool. Good job Pete. As far as the Hudson&6th Marva project. Only the Allen's Cafe Building has progress although they have work permits posted for the other new projects.

Pretty comprehensive list with links in the ARTICLE tab.

Pete, if you go to the Facebook page for Studio 910 you'll note that they are actually also renovating Studio 900, across the parking lot. You will probably need to at least double the number of projected units for the property.

Here is a great summary document from Downtown OKC Inc., showing properties for rent and sale in the downtown area:

Bumping this up... Go to the ARTICLE tab above for a great summary and index of all downtown housing projects.

An update by Steve about what is happening here.

Kevin Durant's purchase is just one sign of downtown Oklahoma City's housing boom | News OK (http://newsok.com/kevin-durants-purchase-is-just-one-sign-of-downtown-oklahoma-citys-housing-boom/article/3862605)

As he indicates, housing construction underway will soon top 1,000 units.

And no, I didn't have lunch with Steve or go out walking around with him to get advance knowledge about this story. LOL

I've updated the article to reflect the addition of the Metropolitan and Mideke projects.

Seems the Condo side is fairly out of date. The 18 Hill units under construction are still in the Proposed slot, and I think far more than 8 Brownstones are sold, and I would bet more Lofts at Maywood as well. It also doesn't include Lisbons 7 units, the Clark Building, Firehouse @ Deep Deuce. And I might recommend putting all "Single-family units" under that one heading on the chart...you can footnote the addresses/names so as to keep the chart easier to read.

In terms of discussion: What would people say an optimal ratio of Rental:Owner units is?

I'm thinking between 6:1 and 7:1?

You could add the Sorosis Club Condos - 3 units all owner occupied at 15th and robinson..... orginally developed by Mark Ruffin South of the Aberdeen....

Steve's article from today summarizing some of the larger downtown housing projects.

A new addition is that the Marion will be converted to 10 residential units -- I've updated the article above to reflect this, as well as moving a bunch of the units into the "under construction" category.


OKC Central: Oklahoma City downtown apartment boom continues | News OK (http://newsok.com/okc-central-oklahoma-city-downtown-apartment-boom-continues/article/3883618)

Someone needs to step up and build a first-class residential tower -- with for-sale units.

Pete, I believe the numbers for the Guardian are short. It has 37 units.

Also, does this include the section 8 and other housing downtown? There are several units -- perhaps hundreds, in lower income buildings. These count for downtown residential as well.

If we were to assume the average occupancy is 1.6 residents per unit, that brings the inner downtown population up to more than 5,700 residents, not including the aforementioned lower income and special services properties.

Thanks, adjusted the Guardian number to 37.

A condo tower in the CBD would be perfect timing, IMO.

Here here! :Smiley199

A condo tower in the CBD would be perfect timing, IMO.

It would have been so perfect on the Stage Center site.

However, the next best place would be 4th & EKG/Broadway, and there's plenty of options right there.

There may be a nice infill lot too. I like tall, thin condo towers. They don't have large footprint.

It's extreme but even a couple infill buildings like this: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/18/realestate/18Deal1.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

The Oklahoma wind would snap that in half like a cracker ;)

How about across from the Montgomery?

http://dl.dropbox.com/s/h69axba712cqr8r/condo_tower_across_montgomery.jpg

You'd have the beautiful old Montgomery building on one side, already used as residential, and the Bicentennial Park on the other side.
Lovely location. Unfortunately, you'd have to demo a few buildings to clear the space -- could be a big problem.

Or...

To avoid demolition, grab the parking lot at Hudson and 4th.

http://dl.dropbox.com/s/wtzv21eg24c8drg/condo_tower_on_parking_lot.jpg

The Regency is just to the north and Legacy Arts just to the west, so residential would not be out of place in that area.
The views of downtown would be unreal awesome.


(Both images taken from aerial photos by Holly Baumann)

I like the idea of residential going just to the north of the CBD or just on the north edge of it. More people in that area makes good sense as MidTown and Automobile Alley and even Deep Deuce start to offer more amenities.

I tend to agree. That infill spot near the Montgomery would look great in the skyline, though. But there aren't a lot of amenities nearby. Oh wait, streetcar. Nevermind.

Because the SE corner of 4th/EKG is probably not going to happen considering in whose hands the property likely sits, the lot directly across from the Buick building would really be a great spot. Easy walk up Broadway, quick access to Deep Deuce and Midtown, both of which will be substantially further along in amenities by the time any Residential tower is finished.

Anyone care to take a stab at the probability we have a high rise residential project for downtown announced within the next 5 years?

I'm guessing 85% -- because I'm optimistic. :)

I'm all in for a residential high rise, preferably featuring for-sale condos. But the Central Business District would be less attractive than the areas just outside the inner core, such as lower Midtown, Arts District, that vacant space in Auto Alley at Sixth and Broadway, etc.

For mid-rise buildings (say 7-8 to about 12-14 floors) all those locations would be great. If we're talking a true high-rise (about 20+ floors) then it would definitely fit better in the skyline if it was in or very near the CBD.

While it's not new, we do have the Regency Tower, which is an impressive 24 floors.

We also have The Classen (21) and the Park Harvey (17); City Place has condos on the very top floors (26-33). It's looking more and more likely that the Dowell Center (20) will be converted to residential. And further afield there is Founders (20) and Lakeview (15).

People love to forget/overlook these when bemoaning the lack of local high-rise living units.


I'm sure more will follow, especially if all the projects currently underway stay full.

I thought about that, that would be awesome to tear out those buildings and build a 50-70 story tower there.

I read this without seeing who posted it...then I scrolled back up with PluPan in my head ;-)

I read this without seeing who posted it...then I scrolled back up with PluPan in my head ;-)Ah, come on man, a 70 story high-rise here in OKC isn't too unrealistic, is it? lol

Ah, come on man, a 70 story high-rise here in OKC isn't too unrealistic, is it? lol

70 stories? That may be a little ambitious. I have no doubt a residential project that is 40-50 stories would be doable with the right developer.

You can add the Maywood Flats to that list. Work has begun in earnest now. They will be for sale housing. I don't know how many units - minimum of three, maximum of six in the first building. And we will finally get rid of those awful unfinished walls on the west side of the brownstones. Two more brownstones are sold as well.

I've updated the article and summary to reflect the Lisbon Lofts and 10th & Shartel Apartments.

We are now close to 4,000 multi-family units.

Pete,

It occurs to me that this list does not include some of the lower-income and specialty properties downtown. Should those be included so we can get a more complete number of downtown residents? Or is this more specifically related to new / newer projects?
