Good development but that cul de sac should connect through.

Under their new leadership, Homeland continues to impress.

This should be a very nice store and I'm sure the surrounding center will be done well.


Would love to see more Homelands around. I would gladly give them my business if they were anywhere near my home (Penn Square area).

[scottk]

This is great news, along with the tentatively planned Walmart NM at 178th and May and a grocery store potentially at 178th and Portland (Portland Power Center). Given the demographics of the area, this Homeland will do great. I only wish it could be built quicker, Fall 2023 can't get here soon enough.

[Pete]

If it's anything like their new store on Lincoln, people out that way are going to be very happy.

I know there is this constant drumbeat about the lowest prices, but there are people (like me) who gladly pay a bit more for a nice store with quality prepared foods and a good deli.


Great to see our two locals -- Homeland and Crest -- stepping up their game.

[ChrisHayes]

That's a long time coming for that area. On a side note, after moving to Oklahoma City in 2013, I did a lot of driving around to see the city. I ended up at this intersection and was amazed at the ocean of newer houses west of May.

Homeland is not a store I ever considered for NW 164th or NW 178th & May, but I'm quite happy with this news. I worked for Homeland for 7.5 years but haven't been in one for many years, although my wife says the newer ones are very nice.

The schools can't keep up, I was told at one time the Deer Creek school board/administration asked Taber, Beacon, Ideal, and the other big builders in this area of NW OKC to slooooow down on new construction. You can guess how that request went.

This Homeland will be great, considering so many older Homeland's closed over the past few years in the vicinity of where this one was being built.

To the gated community that has a security guard entrance ?

No

A construction office trailer was placed onsite yesterday, so I assume land work will start in the very near future.

[sooner88]

There are plans for a Chick-Fil-A to go here as well, and they have several LOIs in place too. Should be a nice development for the area.

For those who don't live in that area, that photo really distorts the North-South axis of that lot. It's a lot bigger than it looks in this picture.

I do hope they keep a greenbelt between the development and NW 164th. I drive by it every day and so far, it looks like that will be the case.

The plot map shows most of those trees probably will be remaining. There will be lots fronting 164th but the trees will remain in tact behind most of the lots

[scottk]

Will the developer or City be adding dedicated center turn lanes and right turn inlets on May?

Just up the street the new Starbucks and 7-Eleven are built right at the intersection and so far no improvements to aid in traffic flow in and out of the center.

[Bowser214]

Me again. My 2 cents. I wish they would call it Rose Creek. Leave out the Plaza. Sounds dated.

[OKC Guide]

I believe Rose Creek is the name of the neighborhood around Rose Creek Golf Club just to the north.

They have now taken down all of the trees (shown in the picture directly above) along the South edge of the project, along NW 164th. That's too bad, I was hoping they would incorporate them into the overall design.

It’s the Oklahoma way to just wipe them.

Most of those appear to be cedar trees. They are an invasive species and generally considered to be a high fire hazard.

And that is a good thing with those kind of trees.

[cinnamonjock]

The eastern red cedar is actual not a bad urban tree. It is a native evergreen that can easily withstand the Oklahoma climate and provides wildlife habitat. They also live for a very long time. Granted, they are not the best looking tree when young, but the older ones are gorgeous. Many of the homes in Heritage Hills use the eastern red cedar as a landscaping tree.

In rural areas, they are a problem because of poor land management. Used to, wildfires kept them out of grasslands because they catch fire easy. But since wildfires were aggressively suppressed for over a century, it has allowed this pioneer species to overtake other species.

A weed is just a plant in the wrong place. We should be grateful we have a native tree species that requires nearly no maintenance when used appropriately.
