Bomasada Development (NOT) Going Forward

[Rico]

Just watched the City Council approve the 1st Giant step in making the "Enclave" a reality.

I do hope they improve the appearance of the exterior of the structure... One lady described it as institutional ..... I think that description fits what the rendering displays...

One final, prayer, of sorts for this development...

LaFortune Tower... Hewgley Terrace... Bomasada..?

I sincerely hope not...

Replace the EFIS with some brick and it looks pretty good to me.  You would never have to drive to a grocery store living there with Food Pyramid and Whole Foods literally next door.

Yeah that would make it blend right in...??

I would like to think they have a nicer version on a drawing board and are going to release it as they are assured they can build.

Who knows....?

Are these apartments intended to be 100% rental, or some mix-up of owner occupied/rentals?

Not very creative... for a company named Bomasada you'd expect more creative naming of their developments:
http://www.bomasadagroup.com/projects.html

The Enclave Apartments - Brookside
The Enclave Apartments - Albuquerque
The Enclave Apartments - Charleston
The Enclave Apartments at Winghaven (OFallen/St. Louis, MO)
The Enclave Apartments - Jacksonville
The Enclave Apartments - Nashville
The Enclave Apartments at the Riverfront - Little Rock

Still waiting for Tulsa's to officially make the page.  A chance to make quick money:

I hate to say this, but it looks like a hospital.  I'd agree that a better exterior would be helpful.

I do hope they come up with a better looking exterior. I think its mostly that entrance that really ruins it. Doesn't look enviting at all.

I really like how the new condos across the way look. The soft, white, stone is very nice.

I just heard on KTUL that the residents at 39th and Rockford have been notified of eviction.

Sorry no link but I was unable to find it on the website.

I heard a report today from the Brookside Neighborhood Association that the development is on hold.  The site work and even a sewer line have been installed, but it is on hold "until the economy improves."  Not sure if it is because of a lack of sales interest or a fall through of financing.

But it was on. Then off.  Then maybe on.  Then on again.  Work began.  And now it's off.

I read on tulsaworld.com that it's on hold until Bomasada can get financing. They say that they are still bullish about Tulsa and want to continue with the development but that banks aren't lending.

    Hooray, they went away.

The neighbors tried to tell the council how ugly the buildings were....they wouldn't listen.  It looks like an industrial office building.

Sad. Sometimes I think density is impossible in this town.

   Hooray, they went away.

What would you rather be there?  Do you want those nasty barracks back?
