123 Garage

[Pete]

The building permit was for $3 million.

I thought it was closer to the building fronting Broadway than what that picture shows. Kind of a weird gap there.

I think there is going to be a little plaza type thing there.

Was this pre-fab concrete? Is that why it was so fast vs Main St?

[Pete]

Yes, pre-fab similar to what is being used at Fassler Hall.

[Teo9969]

It's also an easier project than Main St. Smaller, no retail, etc. Yes?

A lot of Main st was poured on site IIRC. This seems to have been out together like Legos.

Revised rendering for the plaza between this garage and 1101 N. Broadway.

Not sure if the old Baum Building cupola will still be included or not; the bridge has been deleted:

[UnFrSaKn]

The Baum Building cupola belongs in the OKC History Museum.

[Bellaboo]

The Baum Building cupola belongs in the OKC History Museum.

I know of 2 of these - one was in the Santa Fe garage and the other accross the street from the Capitol in front of the old history museum, now the State Court bldg.

[shawnw]

There's one in Mesta Park also I think

[UnFrSaKn]

Yeah the smaller finials are in various parks.

[urbanCOWBOY]

If they don't use that space for the Baum building piece, they should definitely look into making that space functional. Small pocket park, bar, retail, etc. Shipping containers can solve all of our problems

But anyway, I am not a fan of the modernist flare on the landscaping. It looks like something Rand would do :/

[soonerguru]

I think the landscaping is pretty groovy, and to me, it evokes the style of Brian Fitzsimmons. Wait, isn't he the architect on this project? His work is aces.

[catch22]

Drove by last night. The density and street wall this provides is excellent.

[Dynamite]

I'd be interested to see what the back of this thing (north elevation) looks like as you're driving south on Broadway. Could somebody post a picture viewed from that direction, please?

[Pete]

Catch22 spotted these at 11th & Hudson.

Have got to be for this project:

[Urbanized]

Yeah, those have been sitting there for several weeks and I have been trying to figure them out. Thanks for connecting the dots!

I saw them as I was driving down the hill on 11th. Thought maybe they were tent poles/platforms for an outdoor festival. It wasn't until I got up to the fence to take a picture that I realized they looked like the panes for the garage. They are kind of neat and I will be interested to see how the finished product looks.

same here, I thought it was some project we didn't know about.

[Pete]

Those louver structures are starting to go up. Looks like they will have some interesting colors and patterns.

Thanks to Urban Pioneer for the photos:

Thanks 5Alive!

The patterns on those louvers is certainly interesting -- looks like old wallpaper.
