OKC's Urban Explosion

[shane453]

Residential/Mixed Use Developments and Resources - Downtown/Midtown area

The total number of proposed residential units in Downtown is DOUBLE the number of units that are existing.

PS I worked really hard on this, lol. Might have left some out.

The Triangle - http://www.thetriangleokc.com

New Mixed Use District, downtown. "Approximately" 781 residential units, grocery, pharmacy, commercial and retail spaces proposed. Certainly the most ambitious and my personal favorite of all OKC projects.

Midtown - http://midtownok.com

Midtown property owners are getting very ambitious with the creation of their new website. There aren't real details or a master plan released yet, just individual projects. Midtown will likely be similar to the Triangle.

Will the India Temple project include exterior restoration? Those look like some hideous 1950's or 60's renovations on the building.

Yeah I know, it's pretty bad on the exterior. The article said that they were trying to do exterior restoration. That building had a really amazing exterior, so I hope they can restore it. I guess they have to find out how exactly the new exterior was put on, maybe try to find pictures of it being done, and then hopefully they'll be able to get that nasty facade off.
