OAK (formerly Penn Central)

What is the small pavilion supposed to be?

It will be a restaurant; rumor is Shake Shack.

I went to Shake Shack at Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamonga the other day and the structure it was in is very similar to the pavilion in OAK. Just going off of that, I could absolutely see the pavilion housing a Shake Shack.

Went to one with a similar set up in NYC, same.

The last photo is Williams Sonoma.

Shake Shack is a really good place to eat! Hope this is true. I am hoping when they demolish the Red Carpet CW, maybe a La Madeleine. Closest one is in Norman. This seems like it would be a good fit.

Here’s the OAK sign. First time I’ve seen it lit up!
This was around 5:00 Wednesday (09-04) afternoon

So nice to see some verticality in the area with a modest amount of visual. Here's to hoping that more developments with similar height or taller gets put up in this area.

Got an email from pottery barn announcing the opening of their new location on October 4th.

I went into Pottery Barn today to find most of their smaller items already boxed up, and larger items marked down for final sale. I was looking for a smaller item, and while they offered to go through boxes, they clearly preferred that I order the item online (which I did). Their last day at Penn Square is September 19, and they’ll open October 4 at the Oak.

They are gutting the west half of what remains of the Registry building, which will be renovated and repurposed as office and commercial space. The east half will be demolished to make way for more restaurants.

Signs are up on Pottery Barn, but as the one photo shows, nothing inside as of yet.

The video board on the side of the Lively Hotel is now active.

The RH Gallery building has been topped out, complete with a flag and tree. The tree thing has become common and is believed to be based on this:

The practice of "topping out" a new building can be traced to the ancient Scandinavian religious practice of placing a tree on the top of a new building to appease the tree-dwelling spirits of their ancestors that had been displaced.

This all looks amazing! Great shots, Pete!

Really looks like a "quality" development! This is stuff you see in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston. Any more updates on more retail and tenants? This development is close to where I live so hoping property values will increase too!

Cloud Puncher Restaurant was posting about a soft open and they were doing photography for their menu items. They will be ready for October opening!

[Pete]

They are spending a fortune on landscaping and hardscape.
