Development & New Businesses / Re: 2024 Projects
Last post by ComeOnBenjals - Today at 09:04:10 AMWow! I assumed like Dan it would likely just be more parking. Thanks for sharing Tulsan!
That's a huge win for the district, looks like some great infill. With all the development, I could see this being a real desirable area to live moving forward. Connected to RiverTrail/downtown as well as quite a bit of walkability. Hope to see some housing follow this.
This seems to be the hottest area in town; Cherry St seems to have cooled off a bit.

Development & New Businesses / Re: 2024 Projects
Last post by Tulsan - June 24, 2026, 03:35:59 PMIt's a new retail development by Eliot Nelson's group. Five storefronts totaling 8300 sf. They bought the dirt from SpiritBank - which just sold to BancFirst. So it will be interesting to see if more of that real estate is sold off. Could end up being a catalyst for that neighborhood.

Last post by DowntownDan - June 23, 2026, 12:44:23 PMI noticed that lot being torn up today. No insight on what's going on? Unless someone says otherwise I just assume new prettier asphalt parking per Tulsa's seeming obsession.

Oklahoma Voice (June 9, 2026) https://oklahomavoice.com/briefs/lawmakers-appropriated-15m-to-host-olympic-events-in-oklahoma/
QuoteOklahoma City is set to host the canoe slalom and softball competitions for the 2028 Olympics at existing venues, while the bulk of the competition will be held in Los Angeles. Oklahoma's events will run from July 14-30, 2028.
... "Team OKC is currently working with a consultant to determine the full expense expectation for Games delivery," Williams said. "We'll keep an open conversation with the Department of Commerce and state leaders on future funding needs as we gain a clear picture of the overall needs."

Last post by Jacobei - June 09, 2026, 03:25:14 PMSpeaking of 18th and Boston, does anyone know what's going on at the southwest corner? The area that's a parking lot next to where the spirit bank used to be. There is a construction fence up around it. No other activity from what I can tell.

Development & New Businesses / Re: IKEA to Tulsa
Last post by dbacksfan 2.0 - June 03, 2026, 11:09:16 PMFinally got around to visiting the new smaller IKEA store in Phoenix and I can say it's a much more enjoyable experience than going to a full size store.
I needed to get some kitchen stuff and since Bed, Bath And Beyond is gone this was a logical choice.
It still has a lot of the vignettes of rooms with a lot of their furniture options everything else is a short distance from the entrance. I was able to get in, find what I was looking for, and get out in about 20 minutes or so.
The location is in what was a Hobby Lobby and a Tuesday Morning location, the Tuesday Morning location was years ago a Mervyns Store. This is where it is

It's only a 20 minute drive from where I live instead of 45 minutes to an hour to the main store.

Development & New Businesses / Re: 2024 Projects
Last post by dbacksfan 2.0 - May 30, 2026, 09:49:14 AMBack in 1981 a friend got me to go see some kid playing at Boston Avenue Market one weekend. The kid was really good and we all though he might become something big. The kid was Stevie Ray Vaughn.
I remember a place called Boston Avenue Bell Company that was at 15th and Boston that was pretty good. They had phones on all the tables and you could call people at other tables.

Development & New Businesses / Re: Golden Pawn II site
Last post by dbacksfan 2.0 - May 28, 2026, 12:46:16 AMQuote from: ComeOnBenjals on 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.
Wasn't that supposed to be the draw of Zanmai? Spectacular views, second floor patio with views of downtown, great place to dine alfresco? Great place to gather after work and on the weekends?
I don't know why Zanmai failed, but if it's such a choice location why has nothing succeeded in that spot?
Just my opinion, it's not close enough to Cherry Street or Route 66. Granted it's only a couple of blocks either way it's just not really attached to either one.
It's been six years since this spot was planned for redevelopment and it's not close to what was thought of.
