Maywood Apartments

[Pete]

When I visited last fall, I said I thought the Deep Deuce / Triangle area was getting very close to critical mass and becoming perhaps OKC's first true urban neighborhood.

With these three new projects that will definitely be the case.

[betts]

If that's the case, betts, then this is going to be a pretty vertical project to get 140 units on half a city block.

I agree. We will see when the design is presented. If I weren't out of town I would go to the meeting, as clearly this is of significant interest to me.

A friend of mine that I work with attends that church on the corner of 3 and Walnut, called New Covenant Life, and she has mentioned all the development in Deep Deuce, but also stated they are not going anywhere for nobody but Jesus! lol...as they own that property it sits on and north adjacent gravel parking lot...

I am not suggesting they go anywhere, I was only stating how hot this real estate is. They may get an offer that they can't refuse.

That's interesting, because I'd heard the possibility that it or the adjacent parking lot was going to become a music venue. It is a very active church, however, and I would hate to see it repurposed. I like walking by and seeing people coming and going and congregating on the grounds outside the church.

If you look at the renderings in the paper it looks like they are 4-5 stories

The Old Baptist Church building and surrounding vacant land at 3rd and walnut is looking prime!

Any ideas or suggestions?

Urban renewal owns about 1/3 of that land. Calvary Baptist church owns another sizeable portion. Another portion is owned OIC Inc which is located just across 3rd street from the property.

With three different property owners (2 non-profits and OCURA) - that block will be vacant for a long time. The OCURA land will go to bid at least 3 times with multiple extensions.

LEVEL has a full block and they only have a 222 units with the parking taking up seperate land from the units..

i would expect this to be no more than 6 stories including the parking

Where do you see renderings? I can only look at the article online, since I'm out of town, and there's nothing but a city skyline pictured in the article.

i had heard the same thing .. i wonder if there is an agreement to buy the church building already

[okclee]

That is funny; worthy cook.

None of us online has actually seen the hard copy of the paper?

[Pete]

Looks like 4 levels of apartments above two levels of parking:

[okclee]

I give it my online stamp of approval!

What else do you have Mr. Bradshaw?

[Pete]

Looks a lot like the Maywood Lofts.

[BoulderSooner]

Looks like 4 levels of apartments above two levels of parking:

looks like it has 4 levels of housing with the west end being a full 5 stories off the ground and the east end being 4 stories off the ground .. with 1 level of parking fully underground and another half underground as you move up the property.

this pic is probably not even for our project, lol...how do we know its for OKC? just looks like a pic, could be from anywhere or anything...not too legit to me...I am not stamping this rendering...

[betts]

I wonder if that's two different colors of brick we're seeing, or if the top is stucco.....hopefully not EIFS. I certainly don't want to have to look at cheesy apartments out my back windows. Also, hoping the dog run is for all of us, as well as the pool. Those are two things I've been telling them would be nice for our complex.

[Pete]

G. Walker, that picture is from the article in the Oklahoman and that is Ron Bradshaw standing next to the rendering.

[G.Walker]

Oh ok, well then I am not too impressed...doesn't look urban or high density...

[wsucougz]

Looks like 4 levels of apartments above two levels of parking:

The Lofts at Maywood II, Electric Boogaloo.

[betts]

Why bother with a new architect? Although I will say..."What is urban?" At least they don't look like the Legacy or Tannebaum's apartments on Lincoln.

[Kerry]

It looks urban and high density to me. No massive surface parking lot and vertical development thoughout the entire floor plan.

Actually, they've made it quite clear in the real estate community they're willing to move, and I'm told they have stated their price at $1.6 million

Ummm, isn't that building a historic landmark?

[Patrick]

I think you are correct wsucougz. I don't think people fully appreciate at how fast downtown is going to fill in once the pieces are in place. Not to open old wounds, but this is why I was saying Bricktown might very well 'design standard' themselves right out business once all these new areas come on line. You have to strike while the iron is hot and Bricktown had the only iron in town for a long time.

My guess is this new building will by 5 stories (2 parking, 3 apartments).

You can't even begin to compare Deep Deuce to Bricktown. The former is mostly a residential area, the latter is an entertainment district.
