I'm still curious about the 50/50 paint scheme.

Me too. I really don't like it.

Only Man U and Arsenal for all us soccer fans. How sweet.

seriously, not every soccer fan is a bandwagonning follower of big money BPL teams

if they dedicated to showing all nationally televised MLS games, all USMNT and USWNT games, etc, then we'd have a bar truly dedicated to the soccer fans of OKC

They tweaked their design (top); previous version below.

[catch22]

I like the newer (top) version much better. Flows better visually.

The other one was giving my OCD a nice twitch.

Sorry if this was already asked, but does are they also renovating the top floors for leasing while they're at it? Just wondering about those windows...

[Urbanized]

Makes a lot more sense than the first iteration.

[HangryHippo]

Love the revision! Looks a lot better than what we'd seen previously.

The upper floors are already used as offices by the company that operates the Hudson's/Bricktown Brewery/S&B/etc. locations. They are nicely done.

They are owned by Emerging Brands.

Does anyone have an idea of when they plan to open?

They just told me it may be as soon as the end of next week.

Wow, that's much quicker than I was expecting! I am looking forward to seeing how much the inside has changed.

[CCOKC]

I just drove by and noticed they have a now hiring sign out front but the old Brix signage is still on the building.

They've run into some delays with the design committee on some of the details for their new sign but they should be fixing that soon.

[OKCisOK4me]

They still plan on having their soft opening this Friday. Could have sworn I posted something similar in this thread but it's gone..

How can they have a soft opening if their design is not approved and if the Brix signage is still up (presume it is from the weekend)?

[Urbanized]

A banner..?

[shawnw]

I guess that's true, but what about the design? Are they going to soft open, then close for re-design, the re-open?

[Urbanized]

I'm saying they can soft open with a banner over the Brix sign, then work out facade/sign design issues and do installation during a slow day/time in the near future. If the interior is ready to go they can be open for business. Not optimal, but possible.

[shawnw]

OH.....

okay, I was thinking design included the interior, as in they didn't have permission to proceed with interior redesign... sorry for the confusion on my part.

[Urbanized]

Yeah, interior renovations are not within the purview of BUDC. About the only time you will see an outside agency exert influence over interior design items in a renovation is when the owner is utilizing historic preservation tax credits, in which case the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) has say so. The Skirvin renovation was an example. The distressed historic tile in the lobby and the stenciled graphics near the elevator bank (among other things) were preserved because of this process. Otherwise, you can do pretty much anything you want with the interior of a building, as long as it meets building codes for electrical, fire, etc..

[shawnw]

I think I'm confusing the design approval with the building permit process

Gotcha
