13th and Utica

[carltonplace]

I noticed that every house, duplex and apartment between 13th St and 13th Pl and Utica to Troost is boarded up.

Is this due to the Lutheran Church and their ancient plans to build a retirement community here?

They sold those properties recently

And then across the highway you have the big empty lot at 14th & Utica.  Are there bigger plans for these parcels?  Bumgarner was at one time involved in the empty lots proposing an office building a few years back.  Both would be great for mixed-use office and residential with high visibility.

Absolutely no reason for this to sit there like it is.

How much space does the new QT design need?

I was told that there was a lot of objection when he tried to build there. Still his property I believe.

Lemme guess: HillCrest?

I don't think so. They had wanted it. I'll ask around.

I think that 14th would be perfect for a hotel/mixed use to add on to the Cherry Street area.  How is it that one of our city's main entertainment districts has no hotels anywhere nearby while South Tulsa has an abundance of hotels in the middle of nowhere, including under highway entrance ramps?

As for boarded up homes on 13th, I noticed them too.  I'm guessing Hillcrest bought them.

Already one at 11th and Utica.

Sure, but different traffic.  I was kidding anyway.

Where is the one under the highway entrance ramps?  Just curious as I cannot think of it.

I wonder the same thing.  This area would make the most sense, proximity to St John/Hillcrest and Utica Square/Cherry Street.  It would be nice to have a Westin in Tulsa.

The one in particular I'm thinking of is by Saint Francis South, 91st and Hwy 169.  There is a hotel there by the ramp.  It may not be literally underneath but its at a minimum a few yards away from the ramp.

It is pretty close but I forgot about it since the entrance is just a bit away.
