University Town Center

[twade]

Ok, so I went straight to the source and emailed Maureen Hammond, who is the Director of Operations for the Norman Economic Development Coalition, on the status of University North Park, and this was her response:

NEDC plans to move forward with Phase I development of UNP Corporate Centre this summer. The City of Norman can provide you with an update on Legacy Park and the lifestyle center. Their main number is 321-1600. I hope this helps.

What did they say about Legacy Park and the lifestyle center when you talked to them?

[G.Walker]

They didn't say anything about the Legacy Park or Lifestyle Center, I suppose its on hold, due to budget issues with the City of Norman. The reason why the corporate campus is moving forward is because the Norman Economic Development Coalition has big demand for the office spaces, and NEDC is doing the construction.

There was never a movie theater planned for N. Park.

[G.Walker]

There was a movie theater planned for the UNP in the Lifestyle Center, in conjunction with an open air shopping mall. Nothing has been scrapped, just on hold.

so when do you think they will finally start on this open air mall/lifestyle center and movie theatre project, because norman needs a theatre badly.

I really don't believe they will start Corporate Centre, Legacy Park, and LifeStyle Center at the same time. Since phase 1 of Corporate Centre breaks ground this summer, I wouldn't expect Legacy Park, and Lifestyle Center to break ground until next year, more likely Spring/Summer 2011, but I do expect for Legacy Park and LifeStyle Center to be done simultaneously.

I've got a pdf from Sooner Investments/Colleit Assoc. that says differerent about the theater.

I think it is planned to be an upscale type indepent movies theatre.

why dont they concentrate on making a nice walking area around there where folks can take a nice stroll or just hang out instead of focusing on more stores and more stores. at least for now! i heard there were plans for a nice park?! ill bet if they came up with something really nice, norman residents would be totally for doing a sales tax to fund it.
right now it looks like a project gone astray..

This article talks about the plans for Legacy Park.

Umm, aren't stores the point of a retail shopping district?

Looks like the bids are in and Legacy Park will start moving forward finally.
