The large scale redevelopment winner was Packard/Guardian/Park Place. A bunch of us celebrated by going to The Garage, eating burgers and playing bingo, and noted that we were doing so in an award-winning building.

By the way, that burger/bingo group by itself contained owners/developers/staff associated with:


Downtown Oklahoma City, Inc
District Manager of Bricktown
OU Institute for Quality Communities
Better Block
Holiday Pop-Ups
Wheeler District
H&8th
Plaza District
Tower Theater owners (who also have other various projects)
I know I'm forgetting some folks

And that was just a microcosm of the people who attended the actual ULI event. On a per-capita basis and from a local development perspective that was honestly one of the most impressive rooms full of people I've had the good fortune to be in.
