Eyes above the comments sections...always above the comments sections.  Just a warning, it burned a few IQ points off the top.  Now I've gotta go eat some sort of brain food.

Any word on the parking contract issue?  I guess tomorrow's article should discuss.

I'm also curious if One Place and Brickhugger view each other as competitors or complementary.

I've been curious on how this is going to come about.  I know that the issue was brought up before it was even decided on to sale, but hven't heard much about it since then.

Probably complementary. The projects are on two different scales.

Damn it.  Just like saying: "Don't look at that welding arc".  What do I do?  Look right at the damn thing...

My retinas are burned now.  Thanks Townsend.

I swear to Christ the last tv show they watched was brought to them by the letters A and R and the number 3.

Anyway, I'm pumped about more development.

City officials say a ceremony is planned for Wednesday, October 13, 2010 at 2 p.m. for the city of Tulsa, the Tulsa Development Authority and Brick hugger, LLC to sign the closing documents on the sale of the building.

In a news release, Brickhugger LLC paid the city of Tulsa, $1.2 million for the building.

The firm plans to convert city hall, the old council chambers and 250 parking spaces to a 200-room hotel and restaurant with surrounding retail development.

Brickhugger LLC plans to begin construction and remodeling efforts immediately.

City officials say the $1.2 million will go towards payment on bonds for the new city hall at One Technology Center.

In the world of downtown Tulsa development, this counts as speedy progress.

8 months from offer to buy to closing the deal and handing over the keys, and it sounds like they are ready to go on the remodel. Does any one know a timeline for it to be complete?

Speaking of parking, is the underground section there still as dim and dingy as it was about 12 years ago?
