We have residential, suburban builders and developers in the core of downtown doing what they do best, and that is building residential, suburban type buildings.

The more I look at this project the worse it gets. Just think this is as good as it is going to look right now, being that it is new. That stucco / siding that is being used on the Legacy will look like junk in about 5 years. I know this because I am in the residential building business, and I see it on apartments all around the metro.

When is the city going to put their foot down and say NO?, say NO to projects that are sub-par of what they could be. The city is so desperate to be BIG that they are making poor decisions. The city needs to raise it's standards all around the metro, and if that means that some builders aren't willing to build than so be it, there will be others that will.

I love the master plan that I see for downtown and the Core to Shore project. On paper it looks fantastic, but let's see how it plays out with the city. Will the city get desperate and sell short? Let's hope that the city will learn from it's mistakes and realize that downtown Okc is a prime spot for building and development and not just another spot in the suburbs. Downtown Okc deserves better.
