New Utica Square Construction (20th and Yorktown)

[dbacksfan 2.0]

Tulsa restaurant and hospitality entrepreneur Elliot Nelson told the Tulsa World he would like to purchase Utica Square.

Nelson said he would like to see Utica Square improved with elements present at OAK, a nearly 1 million-square-foot area near Penn Square Mall in Oklahoma City. It includes a hotel, apartments, retailers and restaurants, office space, and a newly opened RH (formerly Restoration Hardware), which looks more like a mansion than a store.

The Tulsa developer of that $250 million Oklahoma City project, Ryan McNeill, founder of Veritas Development, recently told the Tulsa World he wants to bring the same to Tulsa — possibly to transform Utica Square.

JMO Looked up OAK on Google Maps and Earth, and have to say "meh". It's a generic, non street facing, limited access, one from Penn and one from NW Expressway,upscale enclave. Did they pay the dozen or so homeowners fair market value for their homes or just use eminent domain?

At least it's more colorful than the Soviet/Eastern European apartment buildings but just as blah.
