Convergence (formerly Innovation Plaza)

The September luncheon for CREC was today at the Convergence building and Dick Tannenbaum and Mark Beffort presented. Did anyone go?

I was there. Tanenbaum has a lot going on!

Is the hotel still happening soon? Haven't seen as much about it, and with the crane down, figured I'd double-check.

This, The Harlow, OKC 577, Westgate, Britton Industrial complex... and those are just the ones we know about...

New renderings came out in June and are still on their website, so I would guess so. The crane might not have worked for that area so they might have to place it somewhere else.

Tis fair. Just thought I read it was going to start in the summer of 2024. But who knows.

The building permit has not been issued; waiting on the corrections required of the developer.

Crossfirst Bank is taking 9,000 square feet on the 4th floor.

They are currently located in Gaillardia. Not sure if this is a move or a new location.

And they are merging with Busey Bank, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Is Gary going to be their spokesperson?

Ha!

In all seriousness, Phil Busey (pronounced Bus - EE) is the head of DRG. He is cousin's with Gary Busey. Busey Bank has nothing to do with either of these. I wanted it to, but it didn't

No construction yet for the hotel; that area is still being used for staging.
