Brady District

[Townsend]

With today's strong south wind, I'd have a chance.

That's really all you can ask for.

Youtube it.  No frontals please.

I don't mean to interrupt this architecture/engineering discussion, but I thought you guys might be interested in this...

I was up on the roof of the tower again today.   Here's a bird's eye view of the Brady District and all of the great work currently going on:

Those pictures are amazing. It'll be cool if we can see the Hardesty Arts Center, Brady Flats, Fairfield, and eventually the OK Pop museum from the same angle.

Thanks, all. That's what i thought it was.

Yes, four of those big empty lots are spoken for. Very cool. Now if the spots accross the street from Cains could see some action.

That'll never happen with the new Juvie facility going in

Yes!

I never said the Tribune couldn't withstand wind.  I also never said it wasn't a great project.   I only commented that I wished it was red iron because of sound proofing.  I love the project.  I'm glad it's going in.  The more people living closer to those of us in North Tulsa the better!

What!!!??? Downtown is in north Tulsa??
Well cancel my tickets to the BOK and the reservations at the restaurant. There's too much of a chance that I'll get mugged or shot. [shudder]

I've been thinking about the new Brafy Park, and how it could potentially effect development around it. Theoretically, it is in the perfect location. Smack dab in the middle of the district. Sadly I question how development will fill in around it. It will have the renovated Matthews Warehouse on the south side, which is great, but how can we get housing and storefronts around it? Griffin is going in to the north, but it will have a huge open lawn, minimizing the effect of the park. I don't see Spaghetti Warehouse giving up their parking lot in the near future, and on the west side is a large warehouse. I think that would be the best chance for someone to come in and develop, along with the NE NW corner. But how willing would the owner be to sell these, or would he/she jack up
the price because of park frontage? I'm just worried that for several years we won't have much development around what will be an amazing park.

Maybe if enough of us stand out in the parking lot with signs declaring how bad their food sucks...

The corner of Brady & Boston is already developed or under developed.  I'm curious to see what happens with Boston & Cameron, park on SE corner, KOTV's helipad on NE, but what will happen with the west side of that intersection?  Also at Cincinnati & Brady, Wallace has a great building on the SE corner, Matthews is on SW, Park is NW, what will happen to the surface lot on NE corner?

They recently laid multiple off so many people may be coming to that conclusion.

Fine by me. I can think of many better things to go there..

KOTV's helipad on NE

I was recently told it's going to be more than just the helipad.

I believe the plan is to build the helipad and hanger for the chopper, then the transmission tower, then the main headquarters/broadcasting facility.

I think the plan is to have everything done by 2013.

That's what I've heard too.
