Oklahoma City's Bricktown set to get its first full-service hotel




Quote:
Tulsa hotelier Andy Patel is preparing to start construction later this year on the 10-story, 182-room Renaissance Hotel on a surface parking lot at the southeast corner of Sheridan and Oklahoma Avenues.
Quote:
“I'm very optimistic the economy is coming back,” Patel said. “Oklahoma City also doesn't rely only on oil anymore. It's diversified. And travelers are making downtown their first choice on where to stay.”

Omni summits final design for OKC new Convention Hotel



Quote:
4/19/2018

Omni has submitted design plans for their proposed 605-room convention hotel which will be reviewed by the Downtown Design Review Committee on May 17th.

The group had previously won the right to develop the city-owned site through an RFP process that was overseen by the Alliance for Economic Development as part of the MAPS 3 convention center project.

The plans for the 18-story hotel show 2 large restaurants on the ground floor as well as a bar and coffee shop, all located on the ground floor.

The 2nd level will contain convention space including grand and junior ballrooms, meeting rooms, concierge and a business center. The 3rd will feature a fitness center, spa area, outdoor amenity bar and large deck with a pool overlooking Scissortail Park which should finish later this year.

The convention center is currently out for bid and it's expected construction will start later this year.

Will Rodgers to start $89 million expansion



Quote:
07/25/2018

OKCTalk was first to report the plans back in 2015 and after a delay, the $89-million project is once again moving forward.

This week, the OKC Airport Trust will vote on a resolution to endorse pursuing $115 million in revenue bonds which will help fund a 5-year capital plan.

Airport spokesperson Karen Carney told OKCTalk that this was in aid of the terminal project which should start construction in early 2019 and last approximately 30 months.

Construction will involve expanding the terminal to the east on three levels and adding 4 new gates. A second expansion phase with an undetermined timeline would ultimately add 7 more gates as the airport continues to explore opportunities to increase the number of carriers and flights.

Can't think of another city that has a new convention center overlooking a new 70 acre park.

Streetcar in action in downtown OKC

The streetcar was officialy launched in December, shortly before Christmas.
Free fares at the beginning.







Photos: https://www.camelsandchocolate.com/o...ity-streetcar/

Ridership was strong at first. But after the free fares stopped, ridership dropped (inclement weather probably didn't help either).
With the arrival of spring, the last couple of months have seen passenger rates go back up again.
Time will tell how well the streetcar is utilized. It's still very early.

This will be a 5 story mixed use building with office, retail, and restaurants including a rooftop restaurant.
Construction has been rather slow on this. Should be finished sometime this year.

Local developer Gary Brooks, who has led several prominent downtown OKC projects
is currently in the process (seemingly herculean) of renovating the historic First National Center building,
originally built in 1931.

Yesterday he posted an interesting tweet:

Quote:
Did some tests on building lighting at First National last night.
This is 8 lights, plans call for over 100 on the upper floors. Hundreds of color combinations. More testing next week. Pretty cool.
https://twitter.com/GaryDBrooks/stat...10647520583680

This old building is a gem. What he's doing for the interior is amazing.
But that exterior lighting is really going to pop in the skyline.

8 story condo proposed in midtown along Classen



That pic above is a bit of PR salesmanship.
The location would be here:




This would be one of the few for-sale properties in downtown OKC,
as most residential is rental. Just a proposal at this point.

Renderings:


















It passed downtown design review in March, but so far, no dirt has started flying.
Likely it's awaiting sufficient financing thru pre-sales.
Apparently a few units have been sold, but... no idea what percentage or how close to the needed amount has been generated.

Hopefully it gets built. Would be awesome infill for that big empty grassy spot.

Another pic shows the location of the lot relative to downtown.
The small white building placed there is a container with sales info.

The Collective OKC food hall nearing completion







Rendering:



https://www.okctalk.com/showthread.php?t=41862&page=5


This is the building prior to renovation:



https://www.okctalk.com/showthread.php?t=41862


From 405 magazine:
Quote:
The Collective OKC, a food hall with a bar on each of the two levels and a rooftop patio, is located at 308 NW 10th. It occupies the Conley Building, which dates back to 1923 and was once home to a Harley Davidson dealership, but has stood abandoned for two decades. It was bought in 2016 by Northline Development.

Operating partner Jenny Nguyen, whose family own and run popular sandwich hotspot Lee’s Sandwiches at 3300 N Classen, says, “We will be offering breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as rotating kiosks offering anything from food to retail.”
. . .
The idea of a food hall was the brainchild of operating partner Truong Le, owner of Chick N Beer, 715 NW 23rd, and the new food concepts Okie Pokie and Noodee, both at the former Guernsey Park location at 2411 N Guernsey Ave.
