PlaniTulsa & Urban Planning / Re: Tulsa Population/Job Growt...
Last post by swake - May 12, 2026, 01:21:50 PMQuote from: ComeOnBenjals on May 12, 2026, 12:15:26 PMTulsa Metro is continuing to grow! Overall, growth across the country has slowed down, but Tulsa County/MSA is still chugging along nicely.The slowing rate is not Tulsa, nationally immigration is down, deportations, forced and voluntary, are up and births are way down. This has massive and bad implications if it continues and our population ages. Thanks Trump.

Development & New Businesses / Re: Golden Pawn II site
Last post by ComeOnBenjals - May 12, 2026, 11:38:15 AMThis project is done from the outside (from what I can see). Looks like they are waiting on a tenant. Would be a cool spot, phenomenal view of downtown from their patio I'd imagine.

Last post by ComeOnBenjals - May 12, 2026, 11:34:55 AMUpdate - Reeder's put in a service/automative repair place on this parcel. They did a decent job with the building, it looks a lot better than the old empty lot

Last post by ComeOnBenjals - May 12, 2026, 11:33:16 AMWay late to this thread -- but I agree, those playoff FC Tulsa games drastically change my perspective on soccer in Tulsa. The energy and passion is there.
Hearing some rumors of a downtown stadium in the works - not sure what stage any of it is at, but there is a USL requirement coming down the pipe.

Development & New Businesses / Re: New Utica Square Construct...
Last post by ComeOnBenjals - May 12, 2026, 11:31:39 AMSurprised there's been no talk about Utica Sq's sale on here. Already seems like it will be an improvement.
https://www.newson6.com/tulsa-oklahoma-news/tulsas-utica-square-announces-redevelopment-plans
Northwood Retail, the property's new owner, said the approximately 25,000-square-foot project will focus on the eastern side of the center, where a block vacant for about a decade once housed Miss Jackson's and Petty's Fine Foods.
Planned improvements include a new park and green gathering space, widened and realigned pedestrian crosswalks, additional angled parking, updated landscaping, refreshed signage, and paver sidewalks intended to improve connectivity throughout the property.

Development & New Businesses / Re: 2024 Projects
Last post by ComeOnBenjals - May 12, 2026, 11:28:41 AMQuote from: SXSW on April 25, 2025, 10:32:02 AMThey are finally rebuilding the Burnco building and also an adjacent building on the parking lot to the north (next to the ice cream shop). Targeting retail/restaurant tenants, I've heard wine/tapas bar for sure.
The 18th and Boston area is really turning into something. Starting to have some real nice density.
American Solera announced they're building a location at that old gas station on 18th and Cincinnati.
Dante's Pizza is taking over the old Solera building on 18th
As sad as Burnco's fire was.. they did a tremendous job with the replacement. There's some additional work on some buildings further north on Boston as well. More office/retail spaces as I can tell.

Last post by ComeOnBenjals - May 12, 2026, 11:26:19 AMThey are getting to work on this - you're right Dan, it's a massive footprint. Any ideas on if this will have any storefronts?

Oklahoma City University has been selected as the site of the Olympic Village for Softball and Canoe Slalom estimated 170 participants. OKC will be hosting Softball and Canoe Slalom for LA28 games where officials anticipate a lot of guests to our city and many of the downtown hotels like the 605 room Omni and the 404 room OKANA resort will reap the benefits.
