Does anyone have an update on this? It would be an exciting project... if it happens. Abundant Life: http://freesearchitecture.com/Portfolio_In-Prog_Diamond.php Diamond Building This reconstruction of a 6 story windowless building into an 12 story mixed use facility is expected to help revitalize an entire section of near-downtown Tulsa. The uses will include ground floor retail, office space from 2nd through 6th floors and well-appointed condominiums in the 7th through 12th floors. Materials include a rough rectangular limestone base and columns, metal trellises and sunscreens and preformed concrete panels. An iconic rooftop lookout platform is oriented towards the downtown skyline, and extends the roof garden that overlooks the neighboring Veterans Park, historic neighborhoods and the Arkansas River in the near distance. |

Only update I've got is it still looks like crap and I think the building owner is blowing a large quantity of smoke. |

I spoke with someone involved with the project, they said it is still moving along slowly. I did not prod for details or anything as I identified myself only as an interested party (no stake in the game). But the project isn't dead.

I was reminded of the project when I walked past it this afternoon, and the though occurred to me that an Alamo Draft House would be great for that building, since it has a 1,500 seat auditorium. And what a great transformation--Oral Roberts' Holy Palace filled with alcohol  |

I've seen this recent alternate model for that project:  The pie is full of asbestos! |

Glad to hear it. I see it every time I am walking back to my cubicle, so I'm always thinking up fun things I could do to the building. |

I never expectd they would paint the whole building black (or almost black) |

No but I did talk to Wil Wilkins who is the acting realtor/broker for the Tulsa Club and Sinclair buildings (both owned by the same guy) and the guy really just wants to sell both buildings as a whole and has no interest in redeveloping, fixing, or leasing. He has two cases for the Tulsa Club currently running through the courts: Nuisance AbatementForeclosure |

I took a large amount of photos on the inside of the Tulsa club building. You can see all of them on www.abandonedok.com. There is a post on the main page for the Tulsa Club along with history and old photos of the place. I will take photos of the inside of the abundant life building soon too. |

Nice pictures of the Tulsa Club and posts on the Ozark forum. If you go to the AL building, wear a mask. MG |

I'm afraid the only updates I've got are:
as of today they both still look like crap.
Anyone else?
