Brady District

[rdj]

A project was planned for the area south of Cain's but the developers were unable to get it done.  Tax credit issues and the guarantors backed out from what I heard, but don't take that as fact.  The project was a nice design and would have brought world famous BBQ to downtown versus going to BA.

As the area along Archer gets more built-up I think the next wave of development will be along Main, including the lot between Archer and Brady and the properties between Cain's and Cameron.  Also areas around the new park.

Do you mean the Mexicali parking lot and the adjacent lot to the south?

Also, I really need to proofread.  And not post when I'm dead tired.

Will Wilkens had mentioned something was planned for the cool building across the street from the CAINS. I'd like to see another hotel go into that empty lot west of sound pony.

Looking at the AHHA construction cam reminded me to ask the following question: When are we going to bury the electrical and phone lines in the Brady District? With all the streetscaping plans, I hope that's something they've included. Those things are an eyesore, just as they are all over town, and it was a HUGE missed opportunity when the lines in Brookside weren't buried during their streetscaping project.

I wish that was in the plans but I'd bet my donuts it's not.

I really encourage anyone interested in downtown Tulsa to drive around, or better yet, walk around the Brady District.  The pictures being posted are great, but there is no substitute for seeing it in person.  The amount of construction activity is incredible and it is hard not to be excited about the future of this area.

Definitely true.  I went for a walk through there and all the construction is very exciting.

The picture above captioned "stage" is part of the new park north of the new museum.  I can see it from my office and was going to ask what type of structure it was.  If it is a "stage," are there any plan renderings?  It's a pretty large frame for a stage.  It spans the entire block.  Also, what is the slab on the north end of the park going to be?  It also spans nearly the entire block.  Seems large to just be bathrooms.  This may have been discussed previously so I apologize if this is a rehash.  It seems these plans are always evolving a bit.

According to the banner that is hanging on the fence this steel structure is a "trellis"

The slab is a cafe / nuclear bunker / vault.  OK, not a bunker or vault.. just getting built like one.   If you happen to be in the Brady district when a twister's headed this way... head for the cafe restrooms or whatever it is (which will probably have a big padlock on them..  psych!)

Urban Tulsa has an article on parking in the Brady.  I'm glad to hear business is not slowing down.

Where exactly are these parking problems? The new spots they created on Archer are never anywhere close to full midday when I go by. Nor are they ever close to full at night.

  What is it with this town and "parking problems"?  Just absurd really.

  Most of us couldn't manage in NYC, Paris (France), London (England), Hong Kong...

  That's the way we are.
