I noticed they still have space for "grocery," which could mean they're still holding out hope for getting a Costco eventually. It could be an Uptown Grocery even, and I'd be happy.

But there are a few buildings facing Memorial that look to be pad sites and we have no confirmation of them. You can understand my confusion.
Who knows? Maybe they have plans for a big sign/entrance area right there. I would think that area would be better used for something they could lease/sell though.

In 90 days, Chisholm Creek developers will break ground on a complex called Tract 30 that will house retail stores and restaurants with patio spaces.
None of those retailers have been announced yet.

is it safe to say this is already better than UNP?
also, Pete, what kind of hotel chain do you think would go in here? I would think it would be more than an express type. Something along the lines of the Embassy in UNP without the conference center.
It's interesting that the Norman and Edmond conference hotels were heavily subsidized; Norman got a good one, Edmond got an awful looking one.
The Memorial Corridor and North OKC submarket in general are pretty strong office markets. I hope OKC doesn't also TIF the conference hotel here, but we probably will.
I think this conference hotel will be private and not part of a tif incentive. The demand in the Memorial corridor is strong.
Excited about this development, but phase one so far hasn't impressed me. Anxious to see the housing and office development to see if it will be truly a mixed-use development, or just a cluster of big box retailers and a couple apartment complexes.
If it continues to bring in new-to-market retailers and has a lifestyle-center feel, I will say the development will be a success. If it actually does have ample housing, that will be icing on the cake. If the final product is as ambitious as planned, I wonder if it will be competition for downtown. Thus far, OKC has lacked that cool, hip suburban area that a lot of cities have as an alternative to downtown. This could be OKC's shot at such an area. Is it in Edmond or OKC schools?
This is just a wish but I really hope it ends up with a cinema at least as nice as the Harkins. North OKC is really in need of something more modern than the AMC Quail Springs or Tinseltown. Maybe this would be a great opportunity for an Alamo Draft House.
Is it me or does it seem less likely that Costco is coming to Chisholm creek??

If/when they come, I don't think it will be Chisholm Creek.
They really wanted the corner where St. Anthony is being built, then stalled and the property was sold out from under them. Then they came back, but decided they didn't like the options and decided to go to Tulsa first.
You can see by the more recent site plans for this development they are not allowing for anything the size of Costco.
They could have gone literally across the street. What is so bad about that?
Someone is hinting at the possibility of a Fuzzy's in Chisholm Creek. I wouldn't be surprised.
"...and maybe even tacos." I think you'll see a Fuzzys, not Texadelphia.
