Great news. And someone suggested recently that OKC is slowing down...we are just getting started, baby!

Yes, OKC has been growing and building at a time when most other cities and really the whole country has been languishing in terms of commercial development.
Now that financing is starting to flow a bit more, we may see the development pace in town really start to accelerate, especially if oil prices stay firm.
Big private developments in the central core as they seem to affect the psychology of developers, lenders and even the general population. Even though we have tons of medium and smaller projects in the pipeline, another big tower or two downtown would really help in this regard.
Pete is too busy to waste time in Dallas! He just sees the lack of building in California!
I said "most other cities" have seen little commercial construction during the economic downtown, not all. And I'm not talking about public projects which aren't subject to the same financing issues.
There is plenty of building in California and most other places, the point is that it's just less than the past and that's all due to a soft economy and the tight lending markets.
That is all clearly starting to change and I believe it could really help accelerate development in OKC, which has done very well despite these recent economic challenges.
Has there been any more articles about the Marion Parking Garage Deal?
Huh? Don't be so dramatic... You're reminding me of the end of Seven. "What's in the box?!?" Spill the beans...
Trying to wrap my head around this, but wow, maybe I don't wanna know after all.
The three buildings have to be renovated and the parking structure built in order to receive the incentives.
There is a time limit for them to make this happen, and I'm sure they will do some serious number-crunching and construction bidding before moving forward.
But they can't be forced to do all this work; it's just that in order to receive the funding it all has to be complete within the outlined parameters. Very similar to the Osler arrangement.
Spartan, what are you talking about?
So what did we not want to know about that was in it?
I too, would like to know what would be so controversial about the TIF agreement? Demolition of some historic building? Are 1100 and 1101 both going to be office instead of residential? What's up? I can't see anything to be unhappy about with the deal. If someone is going to be unhappy about it, I doubt informing them now instead of later will make a difference.
These are from 1212 N. Walker. Another awesome project from the Midtown Renaissance group:
Wow! Nicely done.
Those look like staged pictures. The furniture is the same from when I was at the staging for the Cline.
Those pics look very very nice. The standard for urban Okc living has been raised with this latest development by the Midtown Renaissance group.
Well yeah, they're not furnished units.. I think I could do even better :P
It is very clear that the Midtown Renaissance guys have far more taste than anyone else doing downtown residential, especially rental. It is truly no wonder why/how all of their developments are fully leased before they even finish construction.
