They sold well enough they are already starting the 2nd phase.

I'm sure they'll look very nice once finished and fully landscaped.

When they finish all 3 phases it's really going to make this area feel sooooooo different - may even have a bigger impact than everything happening between Grand and Western.

We frequently choose Saturn Grill, Zoes (now Cava), and Flower Child to dine outbecause they have lots of healthy options that our 2.5 year old likes, so we're driving to and from this area a lot and it is impressive how many people are constantly running and walking in the early evening in this area. I feel like the biggest tragedy of the Canton fire is that the best apartments in all of OKC to live at without owning a car got put on hold for several years - which likely makes these $1M+ homes the new best place to live without a car (lol as if).

Seems like people here have a hard time adjusting to other than the usual architecture. Once complete, it’s will have a very positive impact on the area and will be visually interesting. No it isn’t brick ranch, or faux stucco McMansions, or now popular modern contemporary. It is an upgrade to the area by far.

Yes I don't get the reflexive negativity for quality projects. Sometimes the negative reactions are warranted. People should learn to choose their battles.

Recently, a friend from California was visiting and I drove her around a bit and we ended up having dinner at Republic in Classen Curve.

She is a reserved person but was really impressed by the area and these units will only add to the appeal.

They are going to end up looking very expensive, which of course they are.

These are going to be so nice for the area. My wife and I were reminiscing about our first condo we had when we were married 20 years ago. It was located right on this land. It had an underground garage where tenants parked and there was an indoor pool. I always thought that the building appeared to have been some sort of 1970s medical building that was outfitted into condos. The pool was in an indoor atrium that all the units looked in on and it was a concreted pool constructed above the ground (because there was a parking garage below. None of the exterior windows opened so as newlyweds learning to cook when you burned something it took a week to get the smell out of your unit. LOL.

That could be part of it. I've never been able to visualize things like construction, so it's just odd seeing this lone structure out there. I don't really care one way or the other about it, but I would love for it to be amazing and successful. That area is becoming very interesting.

Beautiful! Love this style of architecture!

Agreed. They look better in person.

Yes, I drove by the other day and I think I'm starting to get it. I'm not a real visual person when it comes to that stuff.

They've got the walls and roof up on the 2nd phase.

Are these selling well?

From their FB page:

We are pleased to announce that we are starting the second phase of 6100 Grand. Response to our initial phase has been phenomenal and we have only one unit remaining. 2 units in phase 2 are sold as well. Priced from $1.73 million. Oklahoma City’s first boutique residential community. An embodiment of architecture, art, and lifestyle.

Nice! Glad to know. They are stunning in person, as well. Driving by them daily has been a treat to see.

I think it will look quite nice when all the phases are finished due to the size.

Did the site of the Canton end up getting cleaned up and/or regraded?

Really love these buildings, haven't drove by them in a couple months but man that first phase has always been good eye-candy.

Yeah, it looks like they tore up all the concrete at the Canton.

Drove by this development today and they're working on the facade of the 2nd building.

I wound up driving by yesterday and I have to admit they look really good at street level. I wanted to be all snarkuss based on drawings and drone pix, but I was wowed in person.

I think they are selling very well.

Good for them; sometimes going big is the answer.

^^^ any rumblings about The Canton?

It's sounding more and more unlikely that project will be rebuilt as originally planned.

Delays by the insurance company, rising construction and interest costs.

They my need to find a new developer and plan.

Drove by this property today and it looked like from my view sitting in my car that they're starting on the 3rd phase.

I would really like to see some updated pictures on this project. It's so posh and prim, something that's completely different from the other stuff around the city.

Strangely, none of the units are listed on Zillow and they've removed most of the renderings from their social media.

Looks like they've started on the 3rd and final phase (last photo):

Is any of those units occupied?

Not completely sure but I don't think so. I could see chandeliers in a couple of them in the center building, which seems to indicate they are getting close.

I think the far left unit in the center phase is occupied. It's pretty decked out and personalized inside on a drive-by and also a dinner at Cava.

They just filed building permits for the 3rd and final phase, which would be on the south end of the property.

This is probably one of the longest (slowest) projects in OKC.

Not even close. Especially considering the cost per unit and special market it serves.

Quality usually takes time.

They have only been starting on new phases after selling existing units.

I found this. Absolutely beautiful. https://www.trulia.com/home/6115-nw-grand-blvd-oklahoma-city-ok-73118-2079847209

Ever heard of Boulevard Place?

The good news is that this has been built as planned and is selling. This is a premium project and has buyers. The project wasn't downgraded and cheapened to sell quicker and has methodically moved from concept to execution to sales. Bravo to good quality premium infill. Kudos to Rick Brown (RBA)

There is no doubt about the quality here and I'm glad they are doing well. It just feels very cold to me form the pictures. I suppose each can be finished out according to what the buyer desires.

No debate about the quality either.
It seems well made, but the style…it feels totally out of place so lack of good taste.
We are in Oklahoma City, not Versailles.
It likes our bored but wealthy mother in laws finally find a way to waste more money than changing of kitsch furniture every year and went for the whole estate instead.

What a post.

Well, that's another one of ... as well. I'm indifferent with that project because the current design is too fugly for that prime location, another lazy design that can be found anywhere in the US.

This development is opposite of poor taste. Gaw

I have had reservations until I saw it in person. I think it looks really nice and fits in. Not sure how, but it does.

Is this about class friction or architecture and interior design?

I would love to see one of those units staged/virtualized with some normal home decor and not the gaudy stuff in the photos. Not my taste of decor, but I think the floor plan is interesting. Not sure about having the kids on the top floor, that might drive me mad being between floors. I'll never afford one, in any case.

The finished product looks nice. I also thought the initial renderings looked a bit cartoonish, but the quality is apparent. It may not be everyone's taste, but it is really well done. I like it significantly more than I expected I would.

Based on the handful of sales that have been recorded, the units are going from $1.7 million and up.

LOL. Renderings are drawings and cartoons.

The materials used on the project are first class. The furnishings and accessorizing will be according to each owner's style and taste, so everyone shouldn't get worked up based on some fictitious rendering of what it MIGHT look like decorated. We worry about the darndest things that aren't even real or complete.

Cartoonish like a Disney World hotel. Of course the renderings are drawing.

Gaudy stuff..? Since when is Le Corbusier gaudy?

I wish Classen Curve had this style of architecture. It would have given it a truly upscale/high end retail feel. I’m not anti modernism but the current design is stale and looks cheap. IMO.

Glad you said that. This style adds so much character and we need more like it. Would be neat to have this type of architecture for mixed use/retail in the downtown area.

It is very difficult to develop this quality construction for retail. Most retail doesn’t have the margins to support the cost this demands.

Gaudy stuff..? Since when is Le Corbusier gaudy?

I don't know what Le Corbusier is, but since it feels like you're quoting me here, I'm referring to the renderings of the interior posted a few posts up. I think the interiors look gaudy and overdone for a spot on 63rd and Western in Oklahoma City. Solely my opinion, and one I will absolutely not defend, because I don't care.

The exterior and interior renderings look almost exactly like the home the architect/developer built for himself in Gallardia, which he recently sold.

I'm sure he moved a lot of the same ornate furniture to his new home in the middle of this project.

We must be looking at different interiors because the one I was referring to was surprisingly minimalist for such an ornamental, Haussmann style exterior. I referenced Le Corbusier because the furniture shown in this photo was clearly inspired by furniture he designed to complement his early modernist, minimalist projects such as Villa Savoye in Poissy, France:

18656

Here is Villa Savoye:

186571865818659

His chairs are famous in their own right, much like Eames chairs. They may or may not be someone’s individual taste, but what they are NOT is gaudy. In fact, they’re quite the opposite.

Like I said, I won't defend a dumb opinion of mine on the internet. I like Eames chairs. You can keep telling me I'm wrong about my opinion, though, if you'd like.
