So with ESH they're basically trying to get the rich people to move back into the city now that they have fled to the suburbs and dropped Tulsa's population?

Not necessarily. Developers have said they want to see rooftops up in north Tulsa before they start redeveloping it. It's a slum. That's what this is.

There's a rumor that BA is getting a NASCAR facility. Can I get a wow? Man, that also sounds like a good country song! "I broke my axle and my heart in Broken Arrow..."

"... but I had a really fast pit crew."

Where's that rumor coming from? That would be pretty cool for the whole state since I don't think we have a NASCAR facility yet?

My friend Porky. He lives in Tulsa.

I also posted the details into more depth in The Oklahoma Forum, linked in my sig and in Shane's. Hope to see you there.

It's nice to see more Tulsans running around the web these days.

Stonewood Hills? I thought it was in Broken Arrow?

Is Stonewood Hills a development name or something? If it's a suburb then I've never heard of it...

And what's that U/C in the distance?

Bingo. There should be a handful of hotels, some large, some small (the one in the photo u/c won't be a big deal) and several restaurants like P.F. Chang's, Olive Garden, a Caraba's, and several others that I forget.

In 2000 the population was around 70,000. In 2009 it will be around 110,000, as projections show.

Tulsa CMSA

Tulsa county accounted for OVER HALF of its 2000-2005 growth in 2004-05 alone! That likely means very good news for the recently declining Tulsa city proper population.

County 2005 Est 2004 Est # Change
.Tulsa County 572,059 568,611 3,448
.Rogers County 80,757 79,032 1,725
.Creek County 68,708 68,647 61
.Wagoner County 64,183 62,793 1,390
.Washington Cnty 49,149 49,066 83
.Osage County 45,416 45,073 343
.Okmulgee County 39,732 39,764 -32
.Pawnee County 16,860 16,793 67

936,864 929,779 7,085

Meaning at current patterns Tulsa CMSA will grow to 972,289 by 2010. But I expect to see a speedup in Tulsa MSA growth (more than already), so let's shoot for 1 million...

That CMSA area is much belated, just my thoughts though. I'm sure your tired of me saying that.

Thanks to Swake, who I have partially paraphrased here.

Tulsa Projects:

Residential
Vision 2025 Housing Fund: 4 Projects, 232 Units

Mayo Hotel
V2025 assistance. 70 Units. Floors 1 and 2 are retail/event space. Floor 16 and 17 will likely be a ballroom, and floor 18 will be a restaurant.


Mayo Office Building
V2025 assistance. Up to 94 loft apartments. There is already retail on the ground level of the building.


PSO Building
V2025 assistance. 52 lofts to be developed with "some" retail space.


Jacobs Hotel
V2025 assistance. Will create 16 units in the Blue Dome District of downtown Tulsa.


Philtower Building - http://philtower.com
The top floors of this building are still under remodeling into residential space, but move-ins have already begun. There are private terraces and a common terrace, it's a very nice building. There is also office space in the building. 25 Residential Units.


Additionally, there are the Kanbar/Kaufman properties. They have recently purchased more than 2 million sf of space or 32% of DT Tulsa space, and it seems that much of it will be converted to mixed use and residential. The PSO project is one of their buildings.

The Village at Central Park - http://thevillagebuilders.com
A new urbanist towhnhome project overlooking Tulsa's oldest city park. 40 of the first phase 45 homes are already sold. Couldn't find a total unit count, don't know if there is one.


The Tudors
Townhomes and a midrise apartment building near the Arkansas River. The townhome lots are mostly sold.


Utica Place
An upscale midrise (9 story) condo building in Midtown.


There is a company called Tulsa Lofts that is constructing many lofts in Midtown. http://tulsalofts.net
Eastbrook townhomes is developing 8 units in Brookside.

Municipal

The BOK Center
This incredibly designed arena and events center is designed by Cesar Pelli, and is under construction in Downtown Tulsa. It's a Vision 2025 Project.

Under Construction:


Offices:

McFarlin Building
(My personal favorite Tulsa project.. It would be better if it wasn't office space but residential on top though! )
This building will have office space on the top three floors. The first floor is already retail. Second floor will have retail and a New Orleans themed restaurant with balconies. The basement will have a nightclub accessible from the street level.


Brady District Warehouse
This warehouse is almost finished with a conversion into office space for an Engineering firm's headquarters.


KMO Warehouses
KMO Development converted two warehouses into office space within the last few months.

Tulsa looks like it is really moving up. Is there any highrise condos planned for downtown? Do they have any commuter rail or light rail?
