More Office Space Could Come to Midtown
According to the TBJ the developers are seeking a zoning change for the next phase of their project. It was going to include nine residential units and no office space. Now, if the change in plans move forward, there will be two more mid-rise office buildings added as well as two residential units. (I'm assuming two penthouses.) Although I was looking forward to the townhouses, the new plans will add more overall density and a couple more buildings with at least a little height in midtown. Can't wait to see the renderings!

Downtown Update 1
Soon we will be seeing much more housing downtown, 175 units to be exact. This is due in part to the TDA's decision to allocate a total of three million dollars to three projects. These projects are the...
Vandever Building: This is such an exciting project because it is located right in the middle of the CBD, an area severely lacking in housing. It will contain about 40 units and will be located on 5th street between Main and Boston.
YMCA Building: Also, a wonderful project, The YMCA Building loft conversion will place 82 units in the abandoned and boarded structure at 6th and Denver. This project should add some life and vitality to that forgotten little part of d
owntown.
East End: This project has the potential to be very unique. I've been told that this building has 16 foot ceilings, so they will be REAL lofts. I'd like to know a timeline, for all of them really, but espescially this one because I don't know the developer's track record. The other two are being done by the Schneiders, so you can pretty much guarantee that they will be completed. But I've never heard of the developer for these, and that just makes me a little nervous. Most likely though, he will get his project done in a reasonable amount of time, and I'm very glad to see a plan for the East End that does not sound like a
pipe dream.
Moving on, the Metro at Brady Lofts appear to be topped out now, and if they haven't started on the Brick already, I'm sure they will be soon. I can't wait to see that project finished!
One Place has started construction. After "breaking ground" over a month ago, they have finally started demolition, and should begin site work on the building soon. I'm still hesitant to say just how tall the tower will be, since they havent released any new renderings, but last I heard, it was 18 stories at 238 feet tall.
The Downtown First Presbyterian Church expansion appears to be progressing just fine, with a new steeple rising quickly on Boston Avenue, I think it will fit in nicely.
And finally, the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure will be moving back downtown this year. The more people we can get downtown, the better!
This is the first of a series that I hope to update once a month to recap things happening in Downtown Tulsa. If I left out anything, be sure to tell me in the comments section.
ON EDIT: Vandever Building will have 40 units, East End will be located at 4th and Elgin, total number of units will be 175.

Enterprise Building Mixed-Use Development.
So unless the TDA decides to make another one of their famous blunders, we will see the Enterprise Building commencing with renovation soon. The $10.8 million development will include 77 residential units,13,500 square feet of light office space, and about 7,500 square feet of retail. The developers have stated that these rental units will be affordable, which in my opinion, is a huge plus.
This is just the kind of development that Boston Avenue/Deco District is in need of. With the recent flurry of activity there, this will be a major step towards making Boston Avenue a More vibrant 24/7 neighborhood. It will also provide more residents to utilize the park right across the street. As long as these are not insanely overpriced, I see absolutely no reason as to why these would not sell quickly. Just think about it, living in a modern apartment on historic Boston Avenue, right across from the new Centennial Green. You would be close to two new grocery options, thousands of offices, and a growing retail and restaurant market. I cannot wait to see this project happen!
