What development more than 50,000 ft hasn't said it was the next Utica Square in the last however many years?  Hell, the strip mall developments in OKC do it.  Classen Curve was supposed to be the new modern Utica Sq.

My personal favorite was the Super Target development at 101st and Memorial as the next Utica.  One mediocre stacked stone strip center, three cell phone stores, a discount mattress store and Radio Shack fronting a Super Target and a car dealership.

Solid.

That was the one Inteller was going to sue over.

Yeah, they always say it but it never turns out that way.  Classen Curve isn't as bad as suburban strip malls, but it's not in the suburbs.  Nothing south of I-44 is going to be anything other than suburban strip malls except that some might use fancier looking materials and maybe with a restaurant that uses the word "Wine Bar" to make it feel upscale when it's not.

He was going to force the city to turn his neighborhood into a gated community because the development didn't meet the high standards of all the car lots on that part of Memorial. That was so much fun.

That brings back the memories of the time I was a guest of a client at the Bixby Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon.  They had a former local politician turned "retail attraction consultant" at the podium encouraging Bixby residents to strip up trouble among Tulsans about that Super Target aka Bumgarner development.  They wanted it to be on the other side of the street so the sales tax would go to Bixby.

No gym here, as of now?

That makes me sad.  And fat.   :-\

If I think about the Site Plan.... I don't think there is enough room available now for a gym.

Walking is good exercise.  I am sure "The Walk at Tulsa Hills" is a wonderful, exciting, and engaging place to walk, with lots of interesting architecture to look at, good people watching, great surprising things to discover around every corner, sidewalk cafe's full of people, markets, flower and food stalls, imaginative and beautiful window displays, live music, people enjoying the parks, museums, public art, fountains, etc. etc. I bet you can just walk for miles and miles before you even realize it.

Oh, wait, thats what you find everyday walking in a real city, not in suburban sprawl.  So sorry, was mislead for a moment by the name of the place.

Any new maps of the layout?  Where it appears they are building stuff, I don't think that fit the layout of any of the previous plans I saw.  Thinking that amphitheater and stream are going to be tiny.

I got this from Loopnet, so I would assume so.

I think this should be called the "The Trek at Tulsa Hills"
