The Foodies building is so cool. Can't believe it hasn't been turned into a little bar with patio. Perhaps it has something to do with that half-moon residential project next door dying.

I remember someone saying there wasn't a bathroom there and that was the biggest issue. That's why a food truck area with new bathrooms on the land would make sense. I don't know if that's accurate or not.

That Foodies lot is an example of a lot where in cities like Austin, Nashville, and Portland, they build that up. Put a residential skyscraper there. I wish OKC could get to that point.

please link or show any example of a "residential skyscraper" in those cities on a 12,000 sqft lot?? that has nothing over 7 stories around it?

Maybe an exaggeration. But these small lots in those cities get built up. Maybe not huge skyscrapers, but more than just a food truck lot or restaurant. Plenty of restaurant sites in Austin are being demoed and tall building put in their place. Maybe this is too small for that, but the point stands in general.

The former Alder Street food cart pod in downtown Portland is now the site of a 35-story mixed use tower currently under construction. The site plan is designed so the podium will maximize the 200 ft by 200 ft lot, but from floors 19 to 35, the tower is roughly half the size of the lot, so somewhere around 20,000 sq ft. That’s still significantly larger than what y’all are talking about, but it’s a potential example that immediately comes to mind.

yep this lot is just over 120 x 90

You love to see more infill getting some work done. It's always a good sight to see.

So, this is a 48,000 square foot mixed-up or Boutique hotel project: https://www.velocityokc.com/blog/dev...ty-midtown-lot

Hope I didn't confuse two different projects.

Both are ice!

I will say the first design would be better suited for somewhere like Bricktown. The Renaissance hotel pretty much broke the mold for that district when it comes to height, so the idea of seeing this there with a few floors added would've been pretty neat. The second one is more midtown-looking, at least style-wise. Wish it could go another three to five stories, but I'll take good infill over an empty grass cough*parking*cough lot any day.

An office building is being planned for this site.

It's interesting, Pete posted the new office building being built for this space in mid-April of 2022. Looking at an article from May of 2022 from a Tulsa thread, the Pivot guys are moving forward with an Arrive Hotel in Tulsa as part of a larger development with Chris Pardo.

I wonder why the Tulsa one worked, but the OKC one didn't?

Probably because the state is paying for a nearby pop culture museum.

I assume the area on the roof that has poles around it is for the mechanical aspect of the building, correct?

Confused why the sidewalks are so small. Think they should have shrunk the building footprint and built up alittle more. Just dont get why they allowed the sidewalks to become almost nonexistent.

they didn't

They look like normal sidewalks in that picture.

This looks like really solid massing and infill for the area. We could use more of this scale if the demand is there.

Did you not look at the site plan? or the images above?
Red is average width, Blue is tiny. They should have had a setback. expand the sidewalks and add trees so it feels safer to walk. Whatever square footage lost, build it on top.

that is the same size the sidewalk was before this project ..

and the size it it all the way down 11th

[HOT ROD]

also looks like they will be adding landscaping in urban manner (curb, landscaping, sidewalk, landscape building)
