University Town Center

[Pete]

I think he is saying in #773 that the builder for this apartment project in Norman (Terra) is also doing projects in OKC.

Which is true, because it's Gary Brooks (Steelyard, Edge, etc.).

[dankrutka]

Post # 773 is confusing me. Is this apartment for OKC or Norman?

Norman

It looks like La Madeleine's is going into University Park. This is a great fit!

I am pretty sure World of Beer is dead.

They are breaking ground next to Legacy Park across from Red Rock but I can't find any info on that lot.

Hampton Inn is building next to Holiday Inn Express and will be closing the Ed Noble Parkway location.

[FighttheGoodFight]

Forgot to add that Tucker's is hiring in Norman so I would expect to see that up soon.

Will the ENP location close up completely, or simply come under a different flag?

I'll be very curious to see what Norman does with the Ed Noble Parkway collection of empty buildings. It seems like a prime opportunity to redevelop it into a new urbanist setting!

[FighttheGoodFight]

Update: Tuckers is now open in this area, Hibdon Tires also open and Tropical Cafe.

Anyone have any insider information on what's going into the new building by Academy and the park?

No idea. Thinking it will be part of the la Madeleine.

Found the updated CBRE map at the below link...then click on flyer.

Bad Daddy's Burger Bar by Torchy's
Burlington by Guitar Center
Petsmart by Guitar Center (assume the ENP location would close)
Carmax by Chuck E Cheese

New businesses shown but not listed as Proposed:
La Z Boy by Chuck E Cheese
Ranch Steakhouse by Hibdons

Also shows future buildings north of Crest and a proposed activity center north of Embassy Suites.

Thank you.

Holy cow, this place is just so massive. I'm sure it will soon be the biggest retail development in the state.

[Pete]

BTW, this would be a great location for Costco.

I'm not sure how close they are to a deal, but I know they have been talking.

There's already a Petco next to the Office Depot. Wouldn't this me some sort of conflict of interest for the landlord? That's assuming that Petco put in a non-compete clause in their lease.

[HangryHippo]

They're putting a CarMax in this development?

[Pete]

Facing the interstate and behind the strip center.

Is there an actual chance that Norman could land a Costco?

[Pete]

Is there an actual chance that Norman could land a Costco?

Yes, and in fact Norman may be the first place in the OKC area they choose.

No. Typically conflicts of interest are only if the landlord also runs a business of the same type on the same or nearby property. You don't want to compete with your landlord.

Example, WRWA will not allow parking operators to operate anywhere on airport property for this reason -- the airport has their own garages they take revenue for and thus cannot enter into a lease where they compete with their tenant. The massive size of the airport's property really restricts any private competition in the airport parking business for this reason.

Think of all of the developments which house a McDonald's and a Burger King? Or an Outback and a Texas Roadhouse. Plenty of examples and it is certainly not uncommon.

Will that be just the second Ranch location? Think they could do well in Norman.

Looks like it. This has been on the development page for a while and no building has started yet. Would love to see it.

[Soonerman]

I'm still hoping for a Cost Plus World Market.

[Plutonic Panda]

Renderings look as if they will continue Conference Dr. over the interstate via a new bridge. Is that the case?

Not sure I would agree with this development being the biggest in the state. Memorial Rd. seems to be the biggest by far and it seems like I-40 in West OKC Metro is coming in at second.
