Here's a list of some of the larger new developments in South Tulsa area.


New American Bank building headquarters: looks like they have topped out this eight story building at 61st and Yale.

Saint Francis new expansion: much of the steel frame is up on the new Peds ER unit.

Tuscana at Yale: this project is almost complete. Keo and an Italian restuarant are supposed to take up residency there as well as some upscale shopping.

Whole Foods: construction company on site and moving dirt!

Kansas City smokehouse: putting up shop where Firerock grill?/Up the Creek (71st &memorial) was.

Maybe others but can't think of any at this time.

Peds ER? It's a level one trauma center with two helipads



Also, dirtwork has started on the SW corner of 91st and yale, and they have a lot of drainage work and a retaining wall to put in before anything else can start. This will be Whole Foods, etc. Drawing I saw looked like 5 decent-sized tenants. One on the corner and 4 in a strip center.

My bad on the Peds ER. Your right, it is going to be a level one trauma center.

Any idea on the other tenants on the Whole Foods site?

Whoa. There is a level one trauma center going in somewhere in Tulsa?

Is it going to be a Level 1 Trauma Center?  I can find nothing in the news articles or on St. Francis' website that says it will be Level 1.

Where?

To be level one it has to have ICU, CCU, PICU, Sergical, as well as a full Radio/Nuclear Medicine capability (MRI, CT, X-ray).  Basically, it has to be a full critical care hospital, unless they've changed the rules.  You also have to have Thoracic/Trauma surgens staffed 24 hours.

Very curious as to how they are going to do this, since we have a shortage of Trauma docs in St. Francis, John's, and Hillcrest.  Most of the guys I know are pulling moonlighting shifts between hospitals to fill the gaps, and usually at least one of the hospitals is on "divert" because they don't have enough staff to qualify for Trauma at any given time.

^^^Whoa whoa whoa...now I need to see the birth certificate.^^^

Ok, so it's part of SFH.  Makes sense. Still don't know where they are going to get the staff.

Looks like they're saying Level 1 "ready" and that they were "considering" applying for the accreditation. No word of it actually happening yet. Hope it does though.

CVS on the corner, but nobody believes TTC. Just look at some of the trolls busting threads. You can find my truthiness in bedded there.

The Italian restaurant at Tuscana is a chain new to Tulsa, but I can't recall the name.  Local franchisee.  KEO should be open soon.

Whole Foods center will have a liquor store.

Keep on eye on the land in front of Lifetime Fitness on S Memorial.  Several new to Tulsa chains.  Site plan and renderings look to be nicer than normal Tulsa suburbia.

Not a new build, but Fat Guys Burger Bar should be open any week now just north of 81st & Memorial.

Surprised to see that with the Primo liquor store across the street.

Do you realize that you can drive a block North or west and buy anything for about 2/3 the price as Primo sells it for?
I doubt they are long for this world. 

Possibly most overpriced store in Tulsa.  Parkhill's South close behind IMO.

Old drawing can be found in here, look for PUD 275

Not to mention 100x better than the five guys they just built. Hope it's a franchise, can't imagine they're all that bad.

It will be perfect here.  5 Guys is for folks that like a 2lb grease burger and a grocery sack full of fries.

Chair's going to leave a mark!

I would not believe very much on this forum....there will be a space next door left unleased for a WF lick her expansion should our state government ever come around to the 21st century. Meanwhile, do not expect a liquor store in this development. Primo will do...for now.

Can't be worse than Suckburger.

There's a major player coming into the area adjacent to Lifetime Fitness....

 ??? ??? ??? ??? ???  :P :P :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X

No.  I've never been in that one.  I tend to drop by another one that's on my way home.

I'll run by three stores depending on my needs.

Good to see someone else will be filling up their new blue bin!  ;)

Had lunch with a fellow rider who is an orthopaedist from Ponca City after MS-150 yesterday.  His daughter, an ER nurse, is moving to Tulsa specifically as a part of this "staffing up" for the trauma center.  So apparently, they are starting to try and attract some new docs and nurses now. 

Shh.. don't dare them.

Actually saving my bottles for a friend who brews.  So my huge blue bin will be tougher to fill.

I drink water out of a refillable bottle from a filtered fridge and don't drink much soda.  Very little incoming paper.

A few years ago?  Yes, that blue can would be clanking like a bar's trash can.

Where's the bin for chloramine?

I'm still waiting for proof this is a worthy endeavor.

The bins look like crap on all the streets.

I see there is no pleasing you.

Yes they do.  Also seems the most convenient storage place for these behemoths seems to be in front of people's garage doors.  Looks like shite.

Huh, I was told the liquor store would be adjacent to WF and the lease provisions would state the lease could be bought out if & when Oklahoma state liquor law changes.  Guess I can't be believed!

Either way, Primo is an expensive choice when looking for a package store to purchase your wine, strong beer and liquor.

This comment pleases me. ;D :)

Those terms seem logical.

Probably depends on what you are buying. I was in there and Old Vintage on 41st & Peoria last week. For the bottle of bourbon I was looking for Parkhill's South was $2 cheaper. The rum I buy is normally $1 cheaper there as well.

Please elaborate.   :)

Jimmy John's is one of the tenants. We've had a lease signed for a while. Construction won't be done until at least next summer though.

That's a good sandwich!  Can't wait.

I am certain you know that no republican has ever won the Presidency without winning Ohio.

Landsliders united!

Eat me....lol

That has little affect on a good sandwich, unless Obama chooses to regulate Mayonnaise.

P.S. Can't eat you.  I'm not big on vegetables.

Saw the signs for a Sam & Ellas at 91st & Yale, SE corner, where the Papa John's was.  Never eaten at the one in Tahlequah.

Wow, that's pleasantly unexpected. We eat at the one in Tahlequah every time we do a float trip. Good food and atmosphere.
