I hope we see some architectural diversity with this. Not holding my breath though.

Oh yeah, I've been saying that for awhile now. Seriously don't think it'll happen though.

I'll take the same design with street front interaction.

I believe they said they would have street-level retail in this phase.

Work set to start on $20 million second phase for Maywood Apartments in Oklahoma City
By Steve Lackmeyer

Over the 28 years Larry Jones has been detailing cars at the corner of NE 4 and Walnut, he has seen the area transformed from a sea of parking used by Kerr-McGee employees to a vast paved desert, and now, a thriving neighborhood that is about to slightly change his own business address.

Ron Bradshaw and Charlie Nicholas, who are building the 139-unit Maywood Apartments at NE 4 and Oklahoma, are set to start construction this summer on a 160-unit, $20 million second phase that will provide a new space for Jones' Bricktown Auto Bath & Shine. At the same time, the developers plan to restore the 80-year-old former Conoco station that has been home to Jones' detail shop and convert it into retail.

Glad to hear in the video that they're going to keep the car wash building and actually spiff it up!

I must have missed the NewsOK folks because the footage looks like mine. I was done around 4pm.

Great interview in that video. Larry Jones is one happy guy right now (and rightly so!)

Have these designs been approved already? I really, really like these.

What an awesome looking development for that Phase II section.

Ok, all the folks hoping for something a little different here, something with a little variety for Deep Deuce should be happy.

Have these designs been approved already? I really, really like these.

No, they haven't been submitted yet.

No, they haven't been submitted yet.

I'm a little confused then. Steve's article said they're set to begin construction this summer, but if they still need to get these approved, that doesn't seem likely to start this summer. Or am I overestimating the time required to get approval for the drawings?

First, this is AWESOME way to go Bradshaw. His entire portfolio of downtown development is going to represent an extremely wide array of price-points, with the Maywood Apartments as a LEVEL-equivalent, this as an Edge-equivalent IMO, and of course the Brownstones are unrivaled.

But I have a lot of questions:
1. The elevation I really want to see is NE 4th.
2. The Walnut elevation doesn't seem completely depicted given that the car wash will be preserved (shouldn't be the same scale/massing as the Oklahoma Ave side)
3. Are those storefront windows on the street level? I see a ton of awnings
4. Is that structured parking built into the back of the development with ventilated openings?
4. The Walnut elevation doesn't seem completely depicted given that the car wash will be preserved

Your question #2 and question #4 (the second #4, not the first) are remarkably similar.
:)

Lol, damn iPad typing. I wanted to move #4 up in the ordering just because I hate seeing awkward stair-stepping in text. I wanted to mix up the length of each line... one of the many things I am OCD about

At least the Conoco restoration sounds good.

WTGB!

(Way to go Bradshaw)

Terry?

:wink:

Finally, some good architectural diversity.

Does the reddish area represent brick?

I am curious if the parking is going to be like Level in that there is an internal parking garage. From the look of the renderings, it doesn't look like it will be under the apartments like the Maywood Apartments.

Parking on the first two floors behind the retail, it looks like.

Finally, some good architectural diversity.

Does the reddish area represent brick?

Agreed. This is really great to see. I like this proposal a lot.

I believe so. I'm wondering what the light colors are? Is it a stone, light brick, stucco, EIFS?

The darker color is brick and I'm sure the remainder is EIFS.

BTW, this is the same architect that is working on the East Bricktown project that will be revealed at the next Bricktown Design Committee meeting.

Pete, at what meeting will these renderings be considered?

Hmm... So they're covering this and the East Bricktown project tomorrow. Is there an agenda somewhere?

Edit: I found an agenda for tomorrow's meeting (http://www.okc.gov/planning/planning_library/bricktown_ud/agenda.pdf), but I don't see this project on it.

Hmm... So they're covering this and the East Bricktown project tomorrow. Is there an agenda somewhere?

Sorry for making this confusing.

The connection to this project is that it has the same architect as the East Bricktown development. East Bricktown is the only thing being presented tomorrow, as this project hasn't even made design application as of yet.

Also to be presented in tomorrow's meeting is Chris Johnson's revised plan for House of Bedlam on the canal:

I know it probably isn't, but if the remainder was authentic stone materials like a limestone, this would be a home run. We have discussed Oklahoma and Oklahoma City not having a "style". Something like this might be a nice "style" to semi-adopt. It is appropriately contemporary but utilizes some classic elements, transitioning our past to our present. It seems to use native materials in a good way. This style could be adapted generally to a lot of large and small structures.

I also especially like the fact the balconies are part of an significant architectural design and aren't just a bunch of slabs and railings stuck on the side of the building like so many are.

Any chance for renderings of the side facing NE4?

That's what I really want to see, too. I'm going to assume it looks like the Oklahoma Avenue elevation with brick up to the 4th floor, or else I don't think this development will have incorporated enough brick in the facade to make it past design review.

Since this isn't in Bricktown, I don't think brick requirement is the same, is it? If it is, Level never would pass, nor would the ALoft.

correct .. this is under the downtown design review and OCURA not under bricktown urban design

Looks pretty decent. But I am having a hard time reading those rendering in relation to how the car wash is going to have bays in the building for operations. Those renderings for the Walnut side look like there is no consideration of such.

They will probably just have part of the garage allocated for his business.

It's a common practice elsewhere. I've worked in several buildings that feature car washes in the parking structure and it's little more than some equipment and some roped-off parking spaces.

http://autodetail.me/data/images/parking_garage_wash.jpg

Ah, you're probably right. I know Devon has one in their garage.

I think the term "bay" is what is confusing.

His current operation is all hand wash (I believe) so there won't be a mechanical drive-thru car wash. Just some guys with hoses, sponges and buckets (I assume).

That is how Bradshaw described it to me, much like the picture above.

As to parking -- there will be two levels of parking, with four floors of apartments above those.

Really really nice. After what has seemed like a lull for most of 2013 (outside of speculation, of course), we're really starting to get some major projects announced and some really important projects under construction

This is so exciting. If they can get some really fun tenants in the non-residential spaces, I think this could really help cement the viability of Deep Deuce as more of a mixed-use neighborhood rather than dominantly residential. The car wash is just amazing and such a cool way to handle the situation.

Huge ups to Bradshaw for this development.

Would be really cool if their plans also included a green element in regards to capturing and reusing the water. Plus a green roof.

I like the look of this project and the incorporation of retail. I have been driving thru Deep Deuce to go to Thunder games since their first season and have seen incredible change in this relatively short period of time.

When Phase 2 of this project is completed Deep Deuce will be over the 1,000 residential-unit count and climbing. It will also have 2 hotels in the district, the massive East Bricktown apartments just to the south, and 2 extended stay hotels in nearby Bricktown, and there is possibly a major residential development going in on 6th-8th & Oklahoma and a variety of residential units in the CBD and Midtown.

...If I had the money, I'd be plopping down a grocery store on about Walnut and 4th

If I owned the automated gas station just north of Maywood Phase I, I'd close it and turn that whole triangle into some kind of grocery store. But yeah, if you want a mega store, the lot just to the east of that may be better.

It will be 3rd & Walnut. You were close.

SE corner? If so, that's awesome! That has been my preferred location for a store since we knew of the Maywood Apts. going in to the north. It's really central to Deep Deuce.

My only concern was that the lot may be too small and it would be difficult to get parking situated with limited room.

Perhaps something smaller would be a better long term decision as I'm not convinced that Deep Deuce and Midtown can share a grocery store in the long run. Midtown could build their own on or about 9th/Walker.

It will be 3rd & Walnut. You were close.

I feel, sir, that you're wanting to say something. So... by all means, say it.
:)

Tis not my place.

Ah, no fair. First you giveth, then you taketh away. Rats :(

Tis not my place.

If, theoretically, a grocery store was coming, would you see it as a threat to Native Roots? Or would it be a different enough concept for them to co-survive? Theoretically, of course.

Ah, no fair. First you giveth, then you taketh away. Rats :(

That's in the Bible, but I don't think Sid is God; Is he?

Tis not my place.

Now sid, please don't become another one of those "I know something that you don't know but I can't tell" posters. LOL

That's in the Bible, but I don't think Sid is God; Is he?

Probably not. But he seems like a nice enough fellow (that is, when he's not teasing his fellow OKCTalkers with tidbits of secret info).

They applied today to demolish the steel building and surface lot on this site.

Looks like they are getting ready to get busy.

I hope they remember the lessons from Phase I about not doing pours at 2am.

Crazy to think this is getting demolished. Isn't a lawn company or something still using it? I see activity in there every day.

I hope they remember the lessons from Phase I about not doing pours at 2am.

During cooler weather, it is not necessary to do the pouring at night. The temperature of the mix needs to be controlled and cooling it in the truck is expensive. Temperature is a problem. So, to avoid the problems in high ambient, pours are often started at night when cooler.

New renderings of how they intend to integrate the two existing buildings on Walnut with new retail space:

just a note .. 2nd and 4th building from the right or left are the existing buildings... the outside 2 and the middle building would be new construction

No way?! I did not see that coming but it is very cool I love that
