Development

Just wondering if anyone knew why all of the trees were being cleared on the east side of 1-35 south of 19th st.??

[Easy180]

I have been wondering what's going in there too...That will be one large addition if they expand The Woods all the way west to the access road

I am personally hoping for an apartment complex. Something upscale to compliment all the retail there.

yeah!!!!! maybe one with a square mile of parking lots!

[Spartan]

Errr...since when did apartment complexes get known for parking lots?

Considering...



...that this is the typical suburban apartment complex.

My buddy that lives just to the North of this area tells me that Cabela's is actually going in where they are clearing the land...Not sure of his source, but it makes sense with the rumors floating around a few months back

It would be a welcome addition to Moore and my house value!...Hope it pans out

[metro]

That would be nice. I imagine some more retail as well. Glad to see the gap between Moore and Norman closing.

[ETL]

I hope what he said is true!!!!!!! Why is there nothing of this on the internet? Nothing on the Moore website!

[Easy180]

I have also looked for any info online etl w/ no success...But I did look at Cabela's website and they are expanding into smaller cities all over it seems so I have no reason to doubt what my friend said...They are clearing a huge portion of that land so there is definitely room there

It would be a nice catch for Moore as it seems to be even better than Bass Pro

I emailed Cabela's yesterday and got this response today:

Sincerely,

While it doesn't confirm our speculation, it doesn't rule it out either. As I noticed and probably Easy 180 noticed it too. The have future locations on their website (Moore was not listed), however they also have a "potential locations" section on their website where it does mention they are expanding into smaller markets. It looks like they run their locations almost like a franchise really. It listed the qualifications for a store, 25 acres minimum, 1 million people within 30 square miles, and major interstate access frontage. All of which Moore offers at that location. I guess we'll know either way soon.

[Easy180]

Thanks for trying metro...I will ask my friend who his source was since I didn't remember to ask him at the time....Well with them clearing out all those trees someone must have signed the dotted line for that property

[Nuclear_2525]

I just can't believe that if it is a Cabella's, an outdoor's and "nature" store, why would they be clearing ALL of the trees and filling in th small creek instead of enhancing those to go with their theme, as Bass Pro does...

[JOHNINSOKC]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it will probably be another major retail development. I can't see there being housing right there so close to the frontage road of I-35. Who knows, really? There aren't any signs posted there yet. Hopefully, we will know something very soon.
