315 White Street

Is it open yet? I'd like to see check it out after the WVU game Saturday.

Not even close.

Edit: I am more just talking about the building being done, but maybe the ground floor is further along. Here's a pic I took on Friday.

Holy cow.

That building is so out of proportion with it's surroundings. Thought it might look a bit different once it was largely finished, but nope.

[Urbanized]

It's really odd in person.

If they building to the east were redeveloped into something mixed-use 3-4 stories tall it wouldn't stand out as much. That, the Box property at White & University and the parking lot across the street are ripe for that kind of denser development. I think it will blend in just fine over the next few years.

Perhaps CC will continue to rebuild up on other spots as well.
Someone is always going to be first.
Here is hoping they are simply the first of many.

What strikes me as weird is the oddly shaped part of the building on the back that's covered in what looks like EIFS. It's just weird and detracts from the otherwise attractive brick structure. But, I hope it's just the first of many structures that start to build up in that area.

What is that part of the building in the back? If it weren't for that it wouldn't stick out all that much at all. Also, do they expect a two story building next door?

Norman planning commission lol.

That's the part that bothers me. What the hell is that funky stucco extension/tumor of the corner? It really detracts from the building.

[Pete]

No doubt the elevator shaft.

[Urbanized]

So, SO weird.

[dankrutka]

Yep, this building is strange in person. It's not all bad, but just strange. Pete White is the guy who bought the Sandridge properties on Automobile Alley. Hopefully he does something good with those properties... The completion of this building has really dragged...

Feels like this mofo has been under construction for like 5 years.

Getting close. There are a couple of private events this week. Place looks great.

As an aside, is there a ****tier website than normanfranscript.com? If there is, I've yet to see it. Just an awful experience. It's 2016 and you'd think the website would get the attention it deserves.
