Memorial Canal is looking, Memorialy.

What's sad is this is actually a big improvement over the prior standard for lower Bricktown (which shows how low the standard really was/is).

[Plutonic Panda]

I think it will be fine. It looks good and I really love the landscaping in the canal.

lol... I just don't understand the consternation about this.... I mean it is BRICKTOWN. And this building looks like it definitely belongs in BRICKtown.

Not too worried about Lower Bricktown...it's really not as bad as the board makes it out to be (save for the UHaul, which is horrendous). By no means is it my favorite, but OKC is so far away from being an Urban mecca with so much land that we can develop correctly, that this really isn't worth any time or energy save for not allowing something that is totally unacceptable.

Let Lower Bricktown make its mistakes and if it can't compete in 25 years, it will be redeveloped.

The U-Haul building is the best building in all of Bricktown. And I'm being dead serious. It is just covered up with a bunch of tin siding. Which in itself might actually be a blessing in disguise. It will have its day.

This is all still there, and intact:

Yeah, we need to get that beyotch naked... seriously....

Right, even in its current state I was referring less to the building itself and more to the usage.

Looks perfect for residential.

[Plutonic Panda]

I never knew! That's an awesome building.

Has an opening date been announced yet?

On their Facebook it says they are now hiring for all positions.

I saw work being done on the canal-side deck patio the other day when I walked by, and I must say it looks more spacious than I was expecting. Hopefully customer demand helps reinforce their decision to build it, and even encourages them to expand the outside presence.

This is from the Downtown OKC Builds Twitter feed... And you are right, the deck does look bigger than I would have expected:

[Bellaboo]

Anyone know when this opens ?

[Pete]

As Will posted above, they are hiring.

When they broke ground a year ago, the opening date was announced as October 2013.

What kind of food are they going to have? I heard it was going to be soul food. Wasn't too sure about this.

Could have changed a bit, but last I heard it was supposed to be based around KD's favorite southern dishes

Here are a couple of site plans -- first one shows the deck configuration:

[Patrick]

Does Hogan plan to develop any of the surface parking lots? Or is KD's the last official project for Lower Bricktown?

[GoThunder]

Bricktown tweeted this, signage going up.

Nope, no plans to change any of the surface lots.

Only one more lot for development, down near the land run monument:

More specifically, Chesapeake Bay cuisine: crab cakes, oysters, fried chicken. And the typical soul food fare (greens, mac & cheese casserole, yams). Can't wait!
