Legacy at Arts Quarter Luxury Apartments
301 N. Walker;
OCURA took bids for the city block at Walker and Robert S. Kerr in 2002, and Mike Henderson won with his plans to build the Legacy with its 303 residential units. The units range from 750 square feet to about 2,000 square feet, and the 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom plans are all named after, get this, cups of coffee. For example, the largest floor plan is the Java Grande, then there's the Cinna Dolce, all the way down to the Cafe Au Lait. 303 of these, there are. The 1st floor of the 5-story development is entirely retail, and the parking is in a garage that is hidden from view. Construction is now complete.

Skirvin Hilton Hotel
Once Oklahoma's most luxurious hotel, the Skirvin has laid untouched since the late 1980's and has eluded demolition several times until recently renovated. Construction crews have been making their way all around the facade of the building and through the interior, all of which has been completely restored. The 1930 configuration of the Skirvin had 530 rooms, whereas the 2007 configuration will have 225 rooms; 20 suites, and one presidential suite each with flat screen televisions. There shall also be 22,000 square feet of meeting space, plus a destination lounge and a signature restaurant. It should be noted however that the City's website puts the room/suite count at 235. One of the more exciting aspects of this restoration is that the grand ballroom will be restored to its original splendor. The renvation is complete.









Lofts at Maywood Park
NE 2nd St and Oklahoma Ave;
Proposal, will break ground at the start of this summer;
This development is highly significant in that it is a large addition to the lower side of the scale in terms of downtown real estate $$$. The lofts, which there will be exactly 55, will range in price from $126k to $304k and most will sell for below $200k. There will be ground floor office/retail. Underground parking is included. This and the Brownstones at Maywood Park (which this is designed with in mind) are designed for replication along NE 2nd and 3rd streets so we will see this become part of a much larger development very soon


Central Avenue Villas
NE 4th and Central Avenue;
Construction is kicking into high gear after plans were hung up due to an underground high voltage line where the underground parking will be. Problem solved;
Specifications are 1-3 bedroom, 735-2,800 square feet, and $125,000-$375,000. Construction started in mid 2006 and should be finished before 2007 is over.
