Radisson (formerly Wyndham)

With your LA/OKC living we just presumed you already made it big.

I wish. Not quite there yet.

Seeing that aerial picture Pete without the Founders Building makes me sick. Can we get a developer to rebuild that landmark? I'll do it when I make it big time.

The neighborhood association tried...trust me. Now it will be, you guessed, an On-Cue come late 2022.

This sign is now out front along NW Expressway.

Did I miss something? Are they turning the hotel into housing or are they proposing a new building somewhere?

Hotel in NW OKC to become apartments

What was originally the Hilton Inn Northwest and most recently a Wyndham hotel is set to be converted to multi-family.

The property fell into foreclosure in 2019 and the lender iBorrow of Los Angeles had announced a comprehensive renovation with plans to reopen as a Raddison hotel.

But work stalled during the pandemic and now iBorrow has announced plans to convert the former 219-room hotel into living units with a 24-hour fitness center, resort-style pool, and other amenities.

Located at Northwest Expressway and May Avenue, the new name will be Highland Tower with an opening planned for the summer of 2022.

It's like Pete had that all lined up and ready to go

Would be nice if they could demo the back part to re-expose the mid century roof line

Of course another OnCue.

Of course another OnCue.

We reported this two years ago; they also bought some property from this hotel/apartment project:

As one who used to work at Founders Bank, It's too bad. The old Founders Bank with the arches would have made a cool OnCue store.

That’s right I forgot about that for some reason I thought it was gonna be a Taco Bell on some strip mall I don’t know why

[Bowser214]

I wonder if the remaining condos at Founder Tower got auctioned off?

[jbkrems]

This is also the former Crowne Plaza Hotel, right? Not to be confused with the current Hilton Garden Inn near the same intersection?

That is correct.

I know this isn’t exactly about the Wyndham, but the Hilton Garden Inn to the east is being remodeled. Saw a bunch of boxes and storage today. Could just be a refresh with new bedding, lighting, etc.

Work completely stopped here several months ago, and this property is no longer listed on the developer's website.

It hasn't sold so I have no idea what is going on. It was supposed to reopen as apartments this summer.

This property seems to be cursed.

^ Such a shame. First it was waiting for the Marriott on the other side of the neighborhood to finally expire (it was a long and painful process but ended up great) then this hotel which was on its way to a bright future before COVID and then that crushed out that project. Would really love to see it get going soon! As a neighborhood this is a priority. And if we could just see dirt move for the OnCue next door, that would lend some momentum to the area.

housing for the homeless!
