Would MicroLofts or Tiny Condos work in downtown Oklahoma City? I found an article on TinyHouseBlog (weird interest of mine) about tiny lofts in Vancouver. Very interesting as we're going through a downsize craze in this country anyway. Here's the article on the MicroLofts and a couple others I found.
Micro-lofts - The Shrinking Condo (Read the post comments too - interesting.)
CoolTown Studios - Mini Condos
fashionable living, with money left for life... moda apartments
With so many people clamoring for affordable housing downtown and so much talk about getting and keeping young creatives, twenty and thirty somethings, this seems like a way to provide "rooftops" at an affordable price downtown. These obviously aren't for everybody, but for many this is all they need or want. Seems like an opportunity for a developer with some guts. I think it just might work in OKC and shake up the center city living scene.
Take a look at what I'm talking about and leave your thoughts. It's nothing if not interesting.
By the way, that Cool Town Studios blog is awesome. You should take a few minutes and look through some of the posts. It's all about urban creative "crowdsourcing."
