These are the type of developments that help provide quality customer bases for the restaurants in the Plaza! But a few 100+ unit developments to truly make massive progress!
Dusty Gilpin and Carlos Barboza have announced they took over the lease of 1717 NW 16th Street in the Plaza District. This is the old Gas Station in between Lyric Theater and Rad Bar. They are going to make into Art Studios.
Wonderful news! Barboza is an incredible artist.
Your post is what made me curious and I started watching out for signs of what was going on. I go way back with Dusty Gilpin all the way to Tree & Leaf Clothing, so I follow him closely. He posted some demo videos yesterday. I think this is going to be an awesome space.
One of the coolest things about Dusty making art in this space, my Grandfather was a graphic artist and had rented a studio just across the street behind Rad Bar. It was probably over 50 years ago. Dusty's Grandfather was also a graphic designer in OKC at the same time as mine.
Looks like the property located at 1304 NW 16th has been torn down. I am sure something new and expensive will be built in its place. JPF Properties LLC is the buyer. From the County assessor, it looks like they own a bunch of rentals, but no new builds. Also, further west down 16th, almost to Villa, the same people that renovated the property at 2421 NW 16th into a high end AIRBNB are building three new properties across the street from it. I live at 17th and May and have a rental property at 21st and May. It will be interesting to see how long it take to see properties in Crestwood being bought up, torn down and McMansions built on them...
I'll take the under on that bet. Crestwood feeds to Cleveland Elementary, one of the better-perceived schools in OKCPS. Parent priced out of Wilson Elementary (another well-perceived school) will skip over Miller/Vegas and put pressure on Crestwood (it is already happening actually).
This is the converted church and large addition at NW 12th & Blackwelder, now called Plaza Flats.
Wild how much density is increasing in CTP. Typically gentrification is associated with *decreasing* populations density (duplexes become single-family, etc.) but CTP is a hard contrast to this trend.
the first pic looks amazing!!
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
