    It looks like the infrastructure for this project is starting to wrap up. The area is still blocked off with road block signs but streets and sidewalks are in, and street lighting is close to being installed as well.

    It will be interesting to see how quickly that the commercial and retail takes off next year. Huge potential for this development and it's SW-OKC location.

    I kind of have a feeling retail will be about as slow as the rest of this project has been.

    I think this infrastructure was probably a difficult task considering the location and the getting it set up for the aggressive future plans. I hope it doesn't take as long for development to start.
    This area seems like such a prime spot to capture the SW-Okc retail tax revenue that is being lost to Moore and even Norman.

    I 100% agree with you, and hope it's successful. I'm just not getting my hopes up right now. I'm all for them proving me wrong though cause this is right down the street from me.

    Yeah but the City of OKC isn't in the retail development business so unless they offer tax incentives (which might be counter-intuitive), not sure if they can expedite the solution to the "problem".

    I really wish they'd redo the intersection of 104th under I44. That thing is terrible. And do away with some stop signs since they plan on having a light 100 feet away.

    What are they doing North of 54th on the West side of Meridian? Looks kind of like rental cars or something similar.

    ^That's it. Off-site rental car facility. Being moved from the parking garage.

    Consolidated Rental Car Facility

    Good. I always thought the current location was pretty poor.

    Is there anything currently planned for this area?

    The Portland realignment from 74th south to 54th is under construction. There are no major tenant or construction updates at this time.

    Pretty much. For better or worse the Walmart across the street is probably what could spur growth. Seems like wherever Walmart pops up other stores follow. And we wonder why Walmart continues to be so powerful.

    I believe the city is still working on the Portland realignment. I know I drove on the new portion they recently opened up and it was awesome. I would have preferred it be built a six lanes, but I suppose they can always widen it. Not sure how development will start until they are done with entire road, however.

    I would love to see an urban, walkable village type shopping center be built like planned and then some larger, big box stores with large parking lots or whatever built to the south.

    I can't imagine how traffic in this area would ever require 6 lanes. 4 lanes with some occasional turn lanes should be entirely adequate. 6 lanes would be counter to your desire for an urban, walkable, village type shopping area.

    It reminds me of the Norman shopping center with 2 miles of a 4 lane windy road. I have a feeling it is going to be pretty similar with stores.

    And really that's not a bad area in Norman, so I wouldn't mind that. Very busy though.

    Looks like the rest of the Portland realignment went out for bid so the final part should hopefully be starting soon.

    Hopefully once this is done we will see new announcements regarding development of this. Couple of good gets would be Super Targer, Costco, Gander Mountain, and an Ikea or Nebraska Furniture Mart.

    What kind of overall development are we looking at here? Is it just going to be commercial such as stores, or are we looking at warehousing, distribution, industrial, etc?

    Closest to the interstate will be retail and commercial. Midway office. Runaway access is direct aviation.

    Is there newer maps than what's on google?
