Classen Curve

[bchris02]

But even if Crescent was on it's last legs, why not configure/expand for Whole Foods instead of building new on a completely separate island??

The whole way this stuff evolved defied common sense and as I said earlier, OKC is darn lucky Aubrey wasn't booted earlier, otherwise that area would have been permanently scarred. Although I'm still not convinced that Classen Curve is even viable in the long term and remain somewhat worried about NH Plaza.

Classen Curve is in such a prime location I would hate to see it just sit vacant. Hopefully eventually it will get a new owner that can find a way to make it work.

There is an old saying in speculative development: "It isn't important to be first, it is important to be the first to be second". In other words, the speculative developer pays what it is...well..."speculated" to be worth while the second owner pays more nearly what it is worth at the current time. The second owner takes advantage of the risk and timing miscalculations and usually can afford to modify the project to more nearly suit demand. Hind-sight is always better, right?
