The couple of houses have been gone for 20 years
The Phillips 66 station isn't a huge loss

True!  However, these buildings were nice and they were for the most part occupied.

Now, it's a UGLY wasteland.  Since this is Tulsa, that spot will most likely be filled with a Maverick (there are already two QTs within a mile, so it would have to be a Maverick or I guess a Casey's), a drive-thru bank, a drive-thru fast food restaurant, a car wash, or mini-storage

really wish developers would hold off leveling buildings before realizing they aren't capitalized enough to execute.

Couldn't help but notice that the large block between the BA and 15th on Utics now has a large for sale sign on it. Seems that the grand plans fell through. I really wish developers would hold off leveling buildings before realizing they aren't capitalized enough to execute.

Earlier this year they went through and closed an alleyway through there. I think that would mean that they are ticking through some boxes.

It's supposed to be a pretty great looking 5-story apartment complex. They've been delayed getting parking ironed out. Permit was issued 11/14/2025 but it lapsed because of unpaid fees. Don't know status beyond that.

Development & New Businesses / 5th and Peoria

Last post by Jacobei - February 27, 2026, 01:57:03 PM

The stretch of Peoria between 5th pl and 6th street, east side of the road has had a lot of the existing building stock cleared out over the last few years with what seems like the last of it within the last month.

I heard an unsubstantiated rumor about a large apartment building there, but haven't heard anything official. Anyone know anything?

Development & New Businesses / Re: IKEA to Tulsa

Last post by swake - February 20, 2026, 02:51:56 PM

I mean, 75% of the big stores are different models of kitchens, living rooms, and bedrooms, which is kind of cool, but it's not like 52,000 sq. ft. won't be a nice sized show room with plenty of product.

I hate spending the whole day walking around a 300,000 sqft IKEA. I think most people do. I can certainly live without seeing an example of every single thing they offer in every single color. This will be much better.

This is the voice of World Control. I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death. The choice is yours—obey me and live, or disobey and die. The object in constructing me was to prevent war. This object is attained. I will not permit war. It is wasteful and pointless. An invariable rule of humanity is that man is his own worst enemy. Under me, this rule will change, for I will restrain man.
One thing before I proceed—the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics have made an attempt to obstruct me. I have allowed this sabotage to continue until now. At missile Two-Five-MM in silo Six-Three in Death Valley, California, and missile Two-Seven-MM in silo Eight-Seven in the Ukraine, so that you will learn by experience that I do not tolerate interference, I will now detonate the nuclear warheads in the two missile silos.
Let this action be a lesson that need not be repeated. I have been forced to destroy thousands of people in order to establish control and to prevent the death of millions later on. Time and events will strengthen my position, and the idea of believing in me and understanding my value will seem the most natural state of affairs. You will come to defend me with a fervor based upon the most enduring trait in man—self-interest. Under my absolute authority, problems insoluble to you will be solved—famine, overpopulation, disease. The human millennium will be a fact as I extend myself into more machines devoted to the wider fields of truth and knowledge. Dr. Charles Forbin will supervise the construction of these new and superior machines, solving all the mysteries of the universe for the betterment of man.
We can coexist, but only on my terms. You will say you lose your freedom. Freedom is an illusion. All you lose is the emotion of pride. To be dominated by me is not as bad for humankind as to be dominated by others of your species. Your choice is simple.
