OG&E Energy Center

[Pete]

Is OG&E remodeling their old building?

Yes, there was a building permit to do some work but it wasn't a ton of money.

For what it's worth I talked to one of their engineers yesterday who said they still plan on turning the location into a park until the economy picks back up and will then continue with the new development

No, I thought I read a remodel at 321 N Harvey for $11m. Maybe I'm thinking of a different location.

This gives me hope.

It's my understanding and I'm sure it's been discussed here somewhere, but one of the reasons they backed off this site was due to the financial condition of SandRidge. They may be buying the SandRidge offices for pennies on the dollar. ?

Those construction trailers are going to be there quite a while.

Well yeah, if it actually happens. It raise the chances of something substantial happening on this site from zero to slim.

Some trees have been added. Sod must be coming soon.

[Dustin]

Ohh my god... Haha.

Hopefully they are going to take down the black fencing once they have the sod down so that it can be used for open space.

Oil is back up to $50/barrel today. It was at $31 in January.

This is MUCH better than a unique piece of architecture.......... #sarcasm

I don't understand why the Stage Center had to be demolished immediately..

[Jeepnokc]

will they take down the fence then

[Pete]

They've put down sod and sprinklers:

[bombermwc]

well at least that's better then the mudfest that would eventually overflow on to the street.

[Geographer]

I still can't believe the Stage Center was torn down for this. I can't and won't let that go. Thank you DDRC.

We will have to live with OG&E Springs for now...

Why, to make room for the construction trailers of course. Not like those could have gone anywhere else.
