Downtown Development Overview

[shavethewhales]

The old Rusty Crane/Dos Bandidos location has been under construction apparently. The bricked up the door to the street, which I find odd. Is it becoming part of the lofts?

The building that was once a short lived small grocery/bodega on the other side of Gitwit is also having construction done on the inside.

Current view from the ballpark. It's still an impressive view of downtown, even with the new buildings in the way. Once the view is done it will look really nice. The new tower going up on the Santa Fe block will enhance it even further.

Now just need a building 4-5 stories to go up on the parking lot to the north of Vast Bank at Brady & Elgin.  I know Ross Group originally envisioned another phase on this site, possibly mixed-use residential.

I visited the Cox Business Center recently and took some pictures of the newly remodeled east entrance.  They did a really nice job!

I also snagged a pic of the new Tulsa County offices that now fill the former Community Care building.  The exterior looks really good.  The only thing I don't care for is the red marble (stone?) at the bottom.  It does not look that great with the gray color of the building.

I finally got a call back the other day from the View apartments. They are set to start moving people in starting in November apparently. Initial leasing deals running through January. They start at around $1,300/month though, and are even higher on the ballpark side surprisingly. A lot of the upper floors and ballpark views are already spoken for apparently.

I looked at 111 Greenwood and they are already sold out apparently. Here's a great article about it that I missed earlier: https://tulsaworld.com/business/local/111-greenwood-mixed-use-project-nears-completion-on-downtowns-east-side/article_cd54b234-92ea-11eb-b09b-6f47ced31d70.html

Other than that, there are a few transitory openings at the edge, palace, and greenarch, but not much on the market in downtown right now surprisingly. Obviously more and more people want to live downtown and supply still hasn't quite met demand.

Good info.  There really isn't that much rental supply coming online either other than The View with 198 units.  The Sinclair and Arco Building conversions to apartments won't be finished until late 2022 or early 2023.  Santa Fe Crossing, the residential portion of Santa Fe Square, should be coming online in late 2023.  The GKFF project at Boulder & Cameron will have a residential component but not sure how many units or their construction timeline.

Seems like the market is ripe for some apartment projects downtown

I will hope for the PAC lot.

A new upscale nightclub called 'Ruby Red' has opened up in the space once occupied by SHE before the pandemic. It doesn't seem to have the burlesque vibe that SHE did, and looked kinda plain on the inside, but we needed a club downtown desperately so it is great to see.

Can't believe the IDL ballroom space has just been sitting empty for a month. They kicked them out and weren't even ready to start on a project? Did the new owners simply not want that kind of business in their buildings? Even with the addition of Ruby Red, we need more nightlife downtown still. Would like to see at least two more clubs come in to give us that vitality and attractiveness to younger generations.

[SXSW]

It seems to me that "clubs" are not as popular as they used to be and that bars and breweries have taken a large portion of the nightlife market share.  There are plenty of those options downtown though I miss Prairie, any idea what will move into their space on Main?  That being said it was nice having a cluster of clubs around 1st & Detroit and hope to see the return of something like the IDL Ballroom.

Anyone know what is going in on South West corner of 3rd & Peoria?

Gotcha.  I was hoping for something more festive.

Yeah I was hoping the residential project originally planned for this triangular site.  Tulsan had said on one of the previous pages that it will be a brick and metal panel facade.

I think someone posted about this previously, but they're doing a bunch of work on the former Dos Bandidos. Can't tell what they're trying to do, but they've got a decent sized crew working.
