Do you know who the developer is?
It's the OU Regents.

Cool... the point is, who gives a crap about a Target.
I don't mean to be dumb, but what does EIFS mean?
EIFS = "Exterior Insulation Finishing System(s)" = synthetic stucco.
Can be attractive, but often isn't, and New Urbanist types hate it because it reeks of suburbia.
Not because it wreaks of suburbia, but because it is a cheap, low-quality material.
EIFS no longer reeks of suburbia - it reeks of all things new. Even here in San Francisco new residential buildings go up covered with this crap. Go to Arizona or Nevada and see every house clad in it. And now they try to trowel it to look like concrete, but it's still the same chemical styrofoam beneath. EIFS is a nifty solution to use... sparingly. But because of its quick installation and affordability people like Randy Hogan use it inhibit the aesthetic of most new developments.
Does anyone know what all the work going on North of Target in UNP is going to be? Is it just one project that they're working on now or many?
I think it's just infrastructure work so when tenants are ready for UNP, the infrastructure will be there so they can start construction sooner. I could be wrong but that's what it looks like.
K, thanks.
It's a new retail / strip mall center. It's not the big mall that has been talked about.
OKYBOY, JCPenny is building a new store in Moore. South of 19th. I appreciate your information but please portray them as your thoughts, not as facts. Could you let us know where you got those ideas? I wouldnt think Home Depot would move two miles north, closer to the big store that is in moore! Either Way, keep up the enthusiasm!
Guess Pei Wei is an official go from what I read in the Transcript...Pretty much all the places okyboy listed in his post was also in the Transcript release today
So excited to have a TJ Maxx or Marshall's near me...Can hardly contain myself
Yeah, I'm a little disappointed that there aren't bigger players yet..... My guess would be that we won't get any commitments until the city council takes care of the TIF. It's making Hammons wait, so I hope that it all gets worked out and this can get some upscale stuff coming in.....
But the Pei Wei news has me VERY excited..... I am a big fan.
Have to agree about Pei Wei...Excellent every time I have eaten there
I'm guessing you're being sarcastic about the tj maxx and marshall's, if not I'm not trying to make fun. This was built up to be such a big development, as something special and different for the area but it sounds like now it's just going to be a glorified strip mall. Maybe they'll put in a nail salon, Gamestop and Cingular store to boot!
Maybe now the "real" unique and more upscale businesses/restaurants will locate in a revitalized downtown Norman/Campus Corner rather than in a development by the highway. I was never going to frequent UNP anyway because it's not near where I live (central Norman). If this was a really stellar development I'd be afraid of it negatively impacting downtown and the Corner but it looks like it won't.
There will be a new AT&T(Cingular) store opening between July and September
I never expected UNP to be a 585 acre development of only upscale shops. However, I do have higher expectations for the lifestyle center. The lifestyle centers in The Woodlands, Plano, and South Lake all have these types of stores around them. 585 acres is huge. I think it is too early to write this development off as a "glorified stripmall". It actually seems like some people hope this does turn out to be a failure just so they can complain about it and say "I told you so". I hope I'm wrong.
I'll take the nicest Super Target I've ever seen over a big mound of dirt (Mt. Williams) any day.
I am excited over the SuperTarget...Made frequent 40 minute drives just to shop there on Memorial....Also excited about Pei Wei coming in....Rest of the list not so much...Same crapola coming in the Moore Strip Center just different names
I too hope there will be some better tenants come along...Definitely don't want it to suck being so close to home
I had high hopes for this development but am now disappointed. With the latest news of the same ol' crap coming to the development, I'm not holding out alot of hope for the lifestyle center.
