Thread: Century Center

  1. Default Re: Century Center

    It seems pointless for them to end negotiations with CVS bc they didn't want to open the store right away, when this project has all kinda of delays anyway. No wonder CVS didn't want to open up on an aggressive timeline within this project.

    After 20+ years of $100 a month to COTPA, I'm not a happy camper.
    We will at least have trolleys from parking lots, but evidently not wheelchair compatible.
    Not that it solves your problem but you paid $100/month EVERY year for over 20 years? Seems like only in the last few years has inflation raised most of COTPA's rates from around $80 to $90-100?

    I've actually thought about that as well. As ugly as the Convention Center is, there is at least a plan to replace it. The main street parking garage is the same style of ugly as the Santa Fe parking garage and takes up an enourmous amount of Main Street frontage. I like that there are at least some store fronts but would like to see them closer to the street.

    When we moved to current location, parking in lot that turned into Devon tower ran about $90 for reserved. That was in1994. Prior to that move, we were in Federal Courthouse and many of us parked in church parking lot for $35.

    So did I pay $100 a month, every month? Naw - I rounded up. When the reserved cost went to $130, I dropped down to non reserved for $90. However, I have not been able to work since last May, but have continued to pay $108.38 every month so I won't lose my monthly parking. I hope to be released to return to work by late May.

    On another note - found out shuttles from the surface lots for Century Center are wheelchair compatible. Props for COTPA for getting it right!

    Man, the $49/mo I pay for the Bricktown parking garage (up from $39 - couple of years ago) sounds better with every post I read. Who knew?

    Yeah, that's about an hour's charge in NYC.

    So, what do we think is going to happen with the holes drilled through the facade and the numbering?

    Will be interesting to see the demolition process.

    Perhaps they are going to insert something into the holes the grabs the inside (as in the interior side) of the wall. And they will pull the wall out as a panel?

    They should learn to count higher than 3.

    Yeah, maybe the plan is to cut the panels loose from inside then attach cables and lift them away.

    But Bricktown's outrageous, right?

    I remember staying at the Marriott Copley Place in Boston back in 2000 or so, and as a guest paying $225+ a night for the room parking was STILL $50/day. I talk with visitors all of the time who think $5-$10/day downtown is "cute". We don't know how good we have it here.

    I'd take the park bench my own self.

    Last time I was foolish enough to drive a car into Manhattan, it was $40/day with no in-out privs, so $40 each time I came back if I left, so I never used my car, thus why it's stupid to drive into Manhattan...

    Yeah, I didn't rent on that trip to Boston, either. The garage price sealed the deal for me. I'm glad I didn't; it allowed/required me to use the heck out of the T (my first subway experience) which was excellent training for the much larger London Tube which I used extensively a couple of weeks later, and also for the Chicago El and NYC subway since. Screw renting cars in cities like that.

    Here are the detailed plans for the OPUBCO space in the Century Center.

    When looking at the detailed plans, it's amazing how little space is devoted to reporters and how much is for video, circulation, sales, IT, HR, etc.

    The two-level space will feature a large opening in the middle with a perforated metal staircase -- very modern detail.

    The video studio will be along Robinson and of course, the huge, curved video screen will be on the corner of Robinson & Sheridan facing the Myriad Gardens.

    No word yet on who may be taking the remainder of the lease space, although we hear Mahogany Steakhouse is still interested in the ground floor.

    BTW, it's interesting to the note that the old OPUBCO tower (now owned by American Fidelity) has just over 282,000 square feet.

    The space OPUBCO is moving to in the the Century Center is only 65,000 square feet, so they will be taking less than 25% of what they built in 1991.

    This does not include the plant which OPUBCO will continue to lease at the old location for the foreseeable future.

    Hearing that the YMCA will be taking about 12,000 square feet in the Century Center.

    They would be taking the space behind (east) of OPUBCO on either the 1st or 2nd floor.

    Interesting. Will this just be a second YMCA downtown? I know the other one on 4th is always very busy.
