Here's a few photos from last night of the big downtown projects currently under construction. I didn't get the Greenwood building included. I think it's still at base-slab level at the moment. The Otasco Building redevelopment is moving right along. This is going to help stretch the blue dome into the main part of DT. https://imgur.com/a/E9ZlYIX

Thanks for taking the time to take some pictures! Do you know what's going into the Otasco building? Definitely a corner that badly needed a face lift.

From a couple news story round ups, it seems like definitely at least 1 (rooftop) restaurant, 1 shop with potentially 2 more tenants?

I agree that's a key spot. Previously it was a big dead zone where pedestrians would walk by quickly from Blue Dome to the PAC. Will be great to see it with new life. It should capture some of the big PAC crowds before and after shows. I'm excited to see what they do with the alley which was supposed to be a big part of it ("activating" the alley). Welcome back Tulsa Now Forum! Looks like the site was down for a few days. What did all of you do during the great tulsanow.org outage of 2019?!?

This project is going to be great for the area! I always thought it was a bad look for the city that the corner by city hall was so ramshackle. I agree that's a key spot.

I'm new to the forum and Tulsa for that matter.. but I was worried the forum was down for good! From some googling, it seems like the TulsaNow org is dormant... I wonder who runs the back-end maintenance of the forum.. the front page could use a bit of an update

I tried a few alternatives to Tulsanow but none sufficed. I guess I got desperate and found myself in OKCtalk forums only to see some talking crap about Tulsanow.

Bad lighting abounds. I know we can do better, we just have to look beyond the electric utility's "expertise".

They aren't just "bad", in this case they don't even fit in with the overall architecture.

can't unsee Although, I think sidewalk lighting should be consistent downtown vs on a development-by-development basis. We fail either way.

 Construction continuing on the 400 S Boston building (to be Hyatt Place). I walk by almost every day, they've got a large crew working on it!

Yet we keep adding new ones despite full knowledge that they are inefficient, unsafe sources of glare that dont even light the street. Better options abound; just look at the Blue Dome or Cherry Street.
