Bricktown is building on the ongoing evolution of Oklahoma City with the addition of a $275 million project that will be erected by 2024.
The Dream Hotel Group, known for their luxurious lodging from New York to Nashville, South Beach, and even Bangkok, has now set its sights on Oklahoma City. The group will be collaborating with California-based Matteson Capital LLC on a large mixed-use destination.
The project will incorporate two towering hotel concepts, and a residential tower. Bringing a total of nearly 400 additional hotel rooms to Oklahoma City’s entertainment district, the Dream Hotel and Unscripted Hotel will serve as the main attractions of the project.
The Dream Hotel will be located on the corner of East Reno Street and Oklahoma Avenue and include 220 guest rooms and suites, five dining and nightlife options, a rooftop pool deck and bar, state-of-the-art health and wellness facilities, and 11,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space throughout its 14 floors.
The Unscripted Hotel will join the Dream Hotel at 14 stories in the sky, incorporating 174 guest rooms, two upscale food and beverage spots, and a lower-level rooftop bar.
The residential tower may include air purification and air quality monitoring systems, as well as water filtration systems that will supply filtered water throughout the property. Public spaces will incorporate a circadian lighting system designed to support the natural 24-hour cycle of humans, boosting energy throughout the day, and helping people prepare for rest in the evenings.
The project pulls in local partners of Matteson Capital; Brad Hogan, and Randy Hogan, recognized for their role in developing the original Lower Bricktown District.
“We are grateful for Dream Hotel Group and Matteson Capital’s commitment to bringing this project to life in downtown Oklahoma City,” the Hogan’s firm said.
“This [project] will draw locals, Oklahomans, and out of town guests to new culinary experiences, live entertainment, and one-of-a-kind hospitality that’s unlike anything else in the area.”
Dream Hotel Group’s Vice President of Development, Christian Glauser Benz, said the group began to take notice of Oklahoma City, following the success of their Nashville location. Similar in size, the group saw potential in these midsize cities that could support this type of product.
The $275 million project will join Bricktown’s current ballpark, canal, and nightlife scene. Paycom Arena, home to the Oklahoma City Thunder, will also be within walking distance of the project. The Oklahoma City Convention Center, Scissortail Park, Myriad Botanical Gardens, Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum, and more are a quick commute away, with a streetcar system connecting the Bricktown location with activities as far as Midtown.
To its east, the Boathouse District can be reached in minutes, providing a variety of outdoor activities.
Overall, the district’s diversity in businesses and attractions makes for the perfect platform for a Dream-like experience.
