I’ve written and produced an incredible amount of material for this weekend’s special coverage of the upcoming MAPS 20th anniversary (Dec. 14). But are the newsroom gods content? Heck no! Richard Hall, the NewsOK overlord, wants a rundown of what’s next.
OK. So let’s look ahead.
We know of some projects coming up but we don’t have any specific details yet. The biggest such project is a high-rise set to be built on the Stage Center property.
But for most, we have renderings. So let’s do a run-down, shall we?
GE Oil and Gas Research Center, NE 10 and I-235, $110 million. Construction starts spring, 2014.
The future "reading room" for the OCU Law School at the old Central High. Renovations underway. Several hundred students and faculty will make the move to Midtown when the law school opens up in a year.
Foundation settings are well underway for the Mosaic being built at NE 3 and Oklahoma.
"Firehouse" home set to be built by Ron Walters on NE 1 in Deep Deuce.
The two existing 1930s era service stations will be incorporated into a retail facade that will face Walnut Avenue as part of the second phase of the Maywood Apartments at NE 4 and Walnut.
The long vacant, boarded up Rock Island Plow building at Reno and Oklahoma is set to be renovated into offices next year.
The Steel Yard apartments, E Sheridan Avenue in Bricktown. Construction set to start next year.
