Alley North (Old Dolese Headquarters)

I never said I hated this, go back and read my first post, and I quote:

"eh, looks cheap, they could do better. If its designed by the same agency who designed the mass timber First United bank in Moore, it might turnout alright."

so please quit reaching.

This just made me more excited for the prospect of regional rail. Is this the first project to show renderings of it?

[bamarsha]

Yeah, because an engineering and consulting company like Guernsey won't get treated wood for their building.

I get it, you want to hate this, because it's in OKC. If this were in Dallas, you'd be gushing. But mass timber is used around the country and world, so please stop this thinking.

I was about to say, I think an A&E firm can probably figure out the details, but you beat me to it. The building looks cool (as long as there isn't any confidential information near the windows)... would rather it be some place cool, like Chisholm Creek, though.

We are getting off subject but downtown okc is cooler than some upscale rest area along the turnpike.
Of course, it is only my opinion and purely subjective.

If you think Chisholm Creek is cool wait til you see Westgate Marketplace

Not much new in here. Just can't wait to see this development take shape! I love mass timber buildings, and Guernsey's looks great!

Sooooo ready for all of that land to be filled in! Shame that there won’t be a mid-rise just to the west to accompany this project anymore but this is still a great improvement for the area.

Yes, the site of what was to be The Hub has an "available" sign on it. It sure seems that project is dead.

Didn't St. Luke's also have big plans to expand their daycare operations with a bunch of new buildings on 14th as well?

I go to St. Lukes and know a lot of the leaders and haven't heard anything lately. I didn't realize they owned not only the parking lots to the north (15th and Robinson), south (SE/C of 14th and Harvey) and west (NW/C of 14th and Harvey), but also the parking lot directly north of Harvey Bakery. I was always under the assumption that property was owned by Pivot's LLC that redeveloped the property.

St Luke’s floated the expansion plan for 14th st by the planning commission. It was not well received by the commissioners! A lot of possible changes and revisions were suggested with no real buy in that even then, that the project would have received approvals. So the plan died on the vine.

Has all the land been acquired by all the necessary parties? I'm really excited for this, and to see Guernsey's new building!
