Anyone have any more information? Just found these for pre sale on realtor.com, looks like an interesting use of a long time empty lot in a great spot. Cant believe that price per sqft though.

What pedestrian plans. Pretty boring in my opinion

The price per sqft is fine given that these are live/work units.

What is sorely lacking in these is the work unit aspect of the development. People are not going to pay $285/sqft for live units that masquerade as live/work units. There's nothing functional about the business aspect of these units.

I like them. Simple but classy.

Any known interest in the First Christian Church property across the street?

I'm told there is but the roof has to be repaired first before there are any serious discussions.

Yeah that's a really busy street, and busy intersection. That lot's been for sale for a little bit, curious to see what happens.

Even though a few are pending over the $200/ft mark in Edgemere, it seems that it has hit it's critical mass over the last few years. Even they are going for more when I sold mine back in 2013 (~$170/ft, which was near the highest at the time) more houses seem to be sitting longer. More of the updating/flip action has moved to the east and southwest towards Paseo. So the $268/ft is not TOO crazy in my opinion for new builds in that area, it's just that where it is located is the headscratcher.

Facing 36th is not the same as being "in" Edgemere.

I like it, but it's NIMBY-bait.

Not sure why you would say that. There are these types of town homes elsewhere in the city and I don't recall any objections or problems from neighbors

What is the distance from the southside of the townhouse to the Northside of the garage?

hmmm, look a little too "plain jane" for me..

15 feet.

Because Crown Heights.

This has been public for awhile. Any sign of protests?

Hey! a sidewalk on 36th!! Right now, you have to walk into the street to avoid the overgrowth if you wanna walk over there.

Pete, are these still on as well?

Nope. Dead as far as I know.

Bummer. Thanks again for the update. The property across the street is ripe for something cool. Hopefully it won't suffer the same fate as the Founders Building.

Nope. Dead as far as I know.
Damn. I actually liked these quite a bit.

The condo project died at this site, and it will now be a 2-story office building.

They have been performing dirt work but the building permit has yet to be issued.

Will have rendering soon.

Office building under construction at the SE corner of NW 36th and Walker.

That sucks.

It's unfortunate that there's a driveway entrance so close to the intersection off of 36th. The property owners should consider closing off that driveway and pushing those buildings out to the corner of 36th/Walker.

Fully agree. Otherwise this isn't terrible.

I think all the curb cuts are in pre-existing locations, and these plans have gone through review by all city departments that might be affected.

If this is the Energy Financial people I'm thinking of, they are good citizens. As in good, long range thinkers.

omg, those no sidewalks on such a major intersection is horrible. What's taking so long with the sidewalks in the inner city, I thought that'd be a major focus (and quick/easy win).

It looks like there are some small sidewalks in the plans. Pete, who is building this?

There are no sidewalks on 36th. There are no sidewalks on Walker from 30th on north. The sidewalks from 23rd to 30th on Walker are unusable at many points. There are no plans to change this that I can find.

The intersection on 36th and Walker is set for $1,215,000 in Go Bond funds for "intersection improvement" but the details of it are vague. Perhaps adding the ability to turn left when coming west on 36th.

horrible. I suspect this will change given the new council member.

Again, to me it's obvious that the densest part of the city should be first in line for sidewalks since these folks needed to use them yesterday. ......

I recently heard from someone on a sidewalk committee that there are extra funds in the Better Streets Safe City pot of money for projects not yet identified. They advised neighborhood groups show up at committee meetings to lobby for some of those funds in their areas. They said that during the MAPS 3 process every neighborhood that did this (showed up) got some money for sidewalks in their area.

This development is horrible. It sucks that the last two ones were good proposals yet this sh!tty proposal had no issue getting built. :/

Walker between 23rd and the Paseo really, really should be in the front of the line for sidewalks. Not only are they unwalkable, they're dangerous. I've seen people take hard falls from tripping on jagged sidewalks or underestimate how far the fall is off some of those gigantic curbs. And it connects to walkable districts.

+10000!!! Since Cooper lives in the Paseo, no doubt he's very aware of that and will push to get them done ASAP (as much as he can if his hands are tied by bureaucracy).

He's ranted quite thoroughly about it at each of the public meetings I've been to with the new councilors. I'm certain he'll do the same at council meetings and behind closed doors as well.

Love these great little quality infill projects.

Great looking infill.

The brick and the clay tile at top are fantastic on this building. The two round windows at each end seem odd but overall this is great infill for that area

loving these homages to Art Deco...this one and the one on Western are great!

They did great work on both buildings. Hope to see them continue!

I'm guessing the brick and roof tile are recycled.

Thx. Damn I must have walked or driven by that building hundreds of times when I lived in OKC, and never noticed it. It is neat, though.

I think it was completed in 2017, maybe 2018, so if you've been gone for a few years, it likely wasn't there.

What would be cool is 2 blocks , both sides of the street, similar architecture buildings, all different but attached as a little neighborhood retail development - like 16th & Indiana Tower theater area.

You are describing what used to be the norm for every neighborhood in every city and town across the country. At least until we collectively decided that building cheap garbage pad sites and strip malls were the answer. I don’t think anything close to what you are describing has actually been built in over 60-70 years. Pretty much the reason why there isn’t any part of a city developed after 1960 that’s even worth stepping foot in. IMO

I agree. Western started it in OKC, now 16th Street and 23rd street. But there aren't that many in OKC. Denver has a lot of those old neighborhood retail zones and they are all desired places to have a business and to visit.

This is a greatbexample of new - to -look-old construction bunched together would be infinitely better than the cheapo shoddy strip centers being built even in Denver.

This is one of the reasons I think Capitol Hill has the most potential of any area in OKC. The building stock on 25th Street between Walker and Broadway is great.

If l had money to buy and piece together, l would look at old Britton.

That's the other good one for sure.

Could not agree more with you on this.Capitol Hill will be the move in the next 10 years.

I agree. Western started it in OKC, now 16th Street and 23rd street.

I don't know the construction dates or precisely what part of Western you're referring to, but I have a strong suspicion that Paseo predates what's left of what you're describing.
