Quote
Twenty-four town homes ranging in price for buyers from $150,000 to $200,000 are expected to be built. The McGee-Boomtown plan was chosen from six TDA requests for proposal to design single-family housing on TDA-owned land at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard between North Cincinnati Place and East Reading Street. Eight homes will be 2,000 square feet and have three bedrooms, two bathrooms with a two-car attached garage. The remaining 16 residences (each 1,600 square feet) will feature three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a one-car attached garage. Black Wall Street Square will include a common area and incorporate the brownstone architectural style commonly used in the 1920s-era Greenwood and Black Wall Street districts.

Infill on vacant lots is always good to see, especially when it's more of an urban form like this project.  Hopefully more of the vacant lots along MLK get developed in this same way, tons of opportunity north of downtown.

KTUL calls this development "mixed use residential." Am I missing something, is there a retail component? If not then "mixed-use residential" appears to be the reporter not knowing the difference between "mixed-use" and "multi-family." I know its petty but it frustrates me to no end when news missuses basic vocabulary on the subject of their reporting.

Construction of north Tulsa's latest housing development kicked off with a ceremonial groundbreaking Friday morning.

City political and business leaders gathered inside the Crossover Preparatory Academy auditorium — a change of venue due to cold weather — to christen Black Wall Street Square.

The 1.76-acre mixed-income townhome project is located at the northeast corner of Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and East Reading Street.
The non-profit Boomtown Development Company, a key partner for the new site, said all planned units will include three bedrooms, two full and one 1/2 bathrooms. There will be 25 units. The site will also include a community gathering space.
