There's so much we need to update on this Tulsa thread. Might try to do a recap later when I have time.
To get started, here are a few cool recent news bits:
Massive Santa Fe Square project downtown takes another big step forward, will start construction this year on hundreds of apartments, massive parking garage, office tower, retail, etc. https://tulsaworld.com/business/loca...b39719566.html
City looking for RFPs for major parcel near downtown with historic building: https://www.publicradiotulsa.org/pos...-site#stream/0
ORU is using their recent basketball limelight to build momentum toward a bunch of campus expansion including a renovation and expansion of their basketball stadium and several new buildings for media arts programs https://tulsaworld.com/sports/colleg...64a1582af.html
Please do! Is the Santa Fe Square project still going to have a grocery store? A Whole Foods would kill it there.
The grocery store was a Reasor’s but the project is the PAC parking lot site, not Santa Fe Square. That project is also still being worked on.
Santa Fe Square was supposed to have an Alamo Drafthouse, but it’s unclear if that’s still possible with their COVID related financial problems.
^The Annex was announced a few years ago and made us all very excited since it includes a ~20 story condo/apt tower, but it is in a holding pattern for the next few years at least. Got to wait until after Santa Fe gets done. There's so much housing coming online in downtown. All the more reason for a grocery store though... https://flco.com/company-properties/the-annex/
Another old tower downtown getting a facelift and being turned into apartments:

The new location for The Brook is a great infill project re-using an existing building. It turned out amazing. There are photos posted on TulsaNow: http://www.tulsanow.org/forum/index....3952#msg333952
Okay thanks for all the information. Planning to take a Tulsa trip soon and camp up in the NE part of the state as well. I’m excited to see all of the changes.
Are there any renderings for the Santa Fe Square project available? I'm especially interested in the 20 story tower!
To be clear, Santa Fe is a mixed development covering an entire box. There is a 12 story office tower proposed as part of it. I don't think there are any recent renderings, but this is the most current version of the tower: https://www.commercialexchange.com/p...tulsa-ok-74120
The Annex is the one with the 20 story tower, but we'll see if that ever happens.
The Annex is being developed by an out-of-state developer Flaherty & Collins. They still have the option on the land but are likely still figuring out what type of unit mix will work best and if they can secure a grocery tenant. With local ownership, designers and contractors we always knew Santa Fe Square would get developed but the energy downturn, WPX leaving downtown and COVID extended the timeline. Excited to see the new renderings and for that project to start construction later this year.
Here is the latest on the former WPX tower. It's a massive building. Really hope they find a company
The new Black Wall Street museum and a new office building at 21 Greenwood are getting closer to completion. This street was empty not too many years ago, but now it is forming into a nice urban canyon.
This is from a month ago, but the outside hasn't changed that much at the new OKPOP museum.
Really appreciate the pictures! That WPX building is going to be awesome.

Here's a couple recent shots of some of the major downtown projects that I took yesterday:
The View Apartments:
WPX HQ
They have also started setting up for the Santa Fe Square development that will include another massive apartment block and large parking garage. Eventually there will be a 12 story office tower as well, and hopefully some retail/dining.
They've begun construction on the other phase of Santa Fe Square:

Tulsan on the Tulsanow forums pointed this development out to us. The heart of this development is a historic dairy building (tan). Those are some pretty cool looking infill apartments filling up what is currently an ugly vacant lot AND they are saving an awesome building. This is in the area of 11th and Lewis next to Mother Road Market. There's another large new mixed development happening a few hundred feet away on the NE corner of the intersection that should start soon. This area is turning into an impressive district, and it's right next to the Meadow Gold District, Brewery District, and Pearl District so someday they will grow into each other and create an awesome urban core.
Glad to see Tulsa continue with growth and some potential new projects and developments in line.
Keep getting the vibe that something big is in T-town's future. What it is, I'm just not sure. Why am I getting good vibes? Seeing the recent Tesla and WPX 'disappointments' usually leads to better things to come.
Best of Luck, Tulsa.
Here are some downtown project updates:
Awesome! Thanks for the pictures.
Where’s the location of the last picture?
