    You can't help but feel cautious optimism for this project as we recall the halted plans to build OG&E's proposed new headquarters back in 2016.

    The proposed residential-hotel project will occupy a 550 space surface lot that will be replaced by one 300' tall residential tower and two hotels towering at 250' each. The three towers will have underground covered parking accommodations for 780 parking spaces; 302 residences, 178 hotels and 300 spaces open for public parking.

    The project developers are reported to be Randy and Brad Hogan who expect to release more details about the project this summer.

    The design Cube 3 did for this San Antonio development looks similar to the layout for the proposal for Oklahoma City. If we get anything close to this, that would be great.

    The buildings do look pretty cool.

    If our canal went through it (which it could as I've previously showed), then it might get pretty close.

    Any updates on this? I'm looking forward to more detailed renderings.

    I'm sure they are in the design process now. More details and renderings will probably be released by the end of this year.

    Anyone hearing about updates on this project? Really look forward to the potential of a larger downtown condos project. It's a huge hole in the market.

    I've been following the architects of this project CUBE 3, and I haven't seen anything new about this on their website or social media. I suspect they are still in the design phase, and we should see something more concrete before the end of the year.

    Since we’re on the subject of Hotel development….There’s an article in the Journal Record about OKC’s booming tourist industry. It was behind a pay wall so I couldn’t read the article.

    2024... if they move on it and make that, the timing could be perfect with the resort stuff coming not so far away.

    Opening in 2024 probably means they'd need to break ground next year, right?

    Dream Hotel Group Sets Its Sights On Oklahoma City



    NEW YORK, NY – Celebrated hotel brand and management company Dream Hotel Group today announced plans to open two new Dream Hotel and Unscripted Hotel locations in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 2024. Designed by Miami-based CUBE3 Architects and built by general contractor Hensel Phelps, the 220-room Dream Hotel and 174-room Unscripted Hotel will be the centerpiece of a large mixed-use development project with California-based Matteson Capital LLC.

    Located at the corner of East Reno Street and Oklahoma Avenue, the 14-story Dream Hotel will feature 220 beautifully designed guest rooms and suites, five dynamic dining and nightlife venues, including an expansive rooftop pool deck, bar and grille with sweeping views skyline view, state-of-the-art health and wellness facilities and 11,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space. Next door, the 14-story Unscripted hotel will feature 174 well-appointed guest rooms and two signature food and beverage offerings, including a lower-level rooftop bar.

    When complete, the $275 million development will add two new lifestyle hotels, 394 guest rooms and suites, seven restaurants and bars, and 150 private residences to Oklahoma City’s growing downtown district
    . Its proximity to Chickasaw Ballpark, Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame, PayCom Arena, and historic Bricktown Canal will establish the complex as a fully-amenitized destination, attracting local Oklahomans and travelers to experience the city’s emerging Bricktown Entertainment District.

    “We found a great partner in Scot Matteson,” said Dream Hotel Group CEO Jay Stein. “Oklahoma City is an incredible destination to launch our brands and we’re fortunate to collaborate with visionary developers like the team at Matteson Capital who share our ambitions to grow and develop our brands in Oklahoma City and other established and emerging markets across the country.”

    Scot Matteson, CEO of California-based Matteson Capital LLC commented, “We are very excited to announce this strategic partnership with Dream Hotel Group. Dream and Unscripted are the centerpiece of this landmark development and the ideal catalyst to help transform Oklahoma City and infuse new energy into an already exciting area of Bricktown.”

    Matteson Capital’s local partners, Brad Hogan and Randy Hogan, whose firm was the original developer of Oklahoma City’s Lower Bricktown District added, “This mixed-use development, anchored by Dream and Unscripted, will draw locals Oklahomans and out of town guests to new culinary experiences, live entertainment and one-of-a-kind hospitality that’s unlike anything else in the area. We are grateful for Dream Hotel Group and Matteson Capital’s commitment to bringing this project to life in downtown Oklahoma City.”

    Christian Glauser Benz, Vice President of Development for Dream Hotel Group said, “Oklahoma City had been on our radar for quite some time. Following the success of Dream Nashville, we recognized other midsize cities in the Midwest that were ripe for this type of product. Matteson Capital ‘s vision for Oklahoma City embodies the potential that this market represents, and we are honored to partner with them.”

The thriving urban district is now home to more than 50 restaurants, bars, and retail shops, and a plethora of family-friendly attractions and public art, museums galleries, even an urban beach for summer fun. And when the sun goes down, the party gets started. The canal that runs throughout Bricktown is sprinkled with live music venues and clubs offering a variety of musical stylings every day of the week. The diversity of businesses, educational institutions, housing, and leisure activities make it a true 24/7 destination, and one of the most distinct and historic in Oklahoma City.

    Nice that they are moving forward, however, according to the press release the hotels have downsized to 14 stories each. The original plan had them being 18 & 20 stories. Here we go...

    They will have the same number of rooms though, so I wonder if they decided to go wider instead of taller.

    I'm okay with 14. Nothing wrong with more midrise...

    14 stories is fine, for me. Otherwise, you get the sore thumb effect. Just my opinion. The fact that they have brands already lined up, and these are highly sought-after brands, is what is important to me.

    They haven't changed anything.

    The 14-stories probably don't include the parking.
