OnePlace repaved the empty lot after getting an extension.  Not the action of someone who intends to tear it out within a year IMHO.  Hope TDA is smart enough to include penalty clauses...

The taller buildings in the picture don't match with the buildings there now.

Are they going to tear down the existing brick structures?

Can someone post some pictures?

When they first announced One Place in 2009 they specifically mentioned a 120 room hotel and that they were working with Hilton Hotels. What's being built across the street is a 134 room Hilton Garden Inn.

Hmmm... Maybe I'm thinking of the original proposal for the site, back before One Place. IIRC, Gaspar worked on some renderings for that project.

I hope they've got something in the works.
Change never happened because people were happy with the status quo.

Great news, so happy to see more and more developments announced.

I am going to miss this little art deco facade though

You can't be serious.  We are gonna lose another Art Deco building? I really like that one too, it's actually one of my favorites.

If I remember correctly, the company that I'm currently employed with has history in that building.  I agree with Artist...do.not.want.

Let's stick a sign on it that says "A Tulsa Art Deco Gem", maybe it can be incoporated

Anyone notice what absent from their plan? Parking. There's a public garage right across the street (plus several lots nearby). They're actually removing a parking lot to build part of the hotel on (the lot between the existing building and the Federal Courthouse). I think it's great!

Plus, I like the rooftop patio.

The magic of rendering and marketing.
I think the parking lot is still there.




In the rendering Tia's and the wright building are vague white boxes.
The parking-lot gap between the hotel and the vague white box is still there.

I like that one, too. But we're not necessarily losing that one. It's hard to tell from the renderings.

BUT, it could end up being like this, only using the 201 S Cheyenne Building:

Again, it's the parking lot to the east of the building that looks like it's the one disappearing, not the south one.

I hope so. I just know they were sold as "a set"

Someone find out.  I have some connections with the Patel family.  But I will still want to approach them with more than just me begging and saying please.

KTUL has a much larger image available. Based on the scale of the people in the picture, I have my fingers crossed that it's just the 201 S Cheyenne Building.

Which Patel family?

You said "TDA" and "smart" in the same sentence.  You know better.
