Two examples of "new" building concepts have been added to the inventory of Downtown Tulsa West.
Habitat has built, what they hope will be, a "new improved model for the Habitat for Humanity Homes"... Complete with geo-thermal HVAC.

Mister QuikTrip has added one of his new model stores on Gilcrease Ave. and the Keystone Expressway.
And last but not least.... Dan Buford completed his very nice transformation of the old nursing home, at Charles Page Blvd and Olympia Ave.(note/had it not been for a very heated Board of Adjustments meeting, Mr Buford's property would have been home to a Juvenile Probation Facility)
I think these three things are indicative of the momentum created by Downtown development. They are also, IMO, indicative of developers looking at the area plans created in the past that will be guides as "PlaniTulsa" takes effect. i.e. "The Charles Page Boulevard Area - Neighborhood Revitalization Plan"..
Dan Buford is a substantial property owner in the Charles Page area. I was very pleased to see the substantial investment he made recently with the transformation of his "Nursing Home" property.
