At 200 feet, the Omni Hotel is hardly the tallest building in the skyline.
But it does have an impact.

It's interesting to see it show up in other photos, looming in the background.
For example, this shot from the Myriad Gardens:

The crane is up and the concrete pillars are rising.
This should go up relatively quickly (garages are fairly simple structures).

The public art display along Classen has more pieces installed.



That's the Classen Inn Motel being renovated in the background.

First National Center


https://www.okctalk.com/showthread.php?t=9355&page=101

The epic restoration by Gary Brooks of the First National Center continues.

The east building of the FNC complex has been taken down to accomodate a new parking ramp structure.



The building marked in red above was the target of the demolition.


Here are a few flashback photos of the demolition:

By September, the last of the building had been taken down.

Brooks reported that over 20 million tons of concrete and debris had been removed.


The new parking ramp is design to front the street and have the appearance of an office building.

By late October, tons of rebar for the new concrete support columns had arrived.

As of a couple of weeks ago, the rebar in the basement had been set and tied.

On Friday, 12-6-2019, the concrete pour began.

VASA Fitness

VASA Fitness originated in Utah.
It has a total of 38 locations in Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, and now Oklahoma.

The first Oklahoma location was in Tulsa, which opened this summer.
Two more are coming to Oklahoma City: at SW 44th & Western, and NW 23rd & Penn.

VASA has large facilities that typically include the following amenities:
  • a basketball court
  • large indoor pool
  • raquetball courts
  • free weight area
  • aerobics / group exercise
  • spin classes
  • hot tub hyrdro-massage
  • steam sauna
  • tanning and childcare facilities
Here's the floor plan for the Tulsa location:

SW 44th & Western

This location is north of a Sears department store.


https://www.okctalk.com/showthread.php?t=44759

The Sears is closing down.
That building will be partially demolished and the remainder redeveloped.

In that last photo, you can see Capitol Hill High School prominently in the background.


https://www.waymarking.com/gallery/image.aspx?f=1&guid=9126399c-e7e6-4a6d-b886-3a54aa0743e3

This was built in 1928.

The dome structure, which is a fieldhouse, is more modern -- built in 1955.

https://okcmod.com/architecture/gallery/capitol-hill-high-school-fieldhouse/

The fieldhouse is still in use today.

https://okcmod.com/architecture/gallery/capitol-hill-high-school-fieldhouse/


By early October, the SW 44th location was complete.
Here are a few facebook photos showing the interior:

NW 23rd & Penn

The second OKC VASA location is at a former Buy For Less store.


https://www.okctalk.com/showthread.php?t=44759

This is practically right next to Oklahoma City University.

The Buy For Less store had been closed and boarded up since late 2016.
In this instance, instead of a new build, the existing 59,000 sf structure is being completely renovated.

The basic structure has been in place for a long time now.
Just takes forever to flesh out the details and the interior.

Lingo construction, who are building this, will be moving in themselves for their new headquarters.
Reportedly they have already moved into a few offices on the ground floor.

Convention Center Garage


https://www.okctalk.com/showthread.php?t=44229&page=7


More details have emerged about the design of the Convention Center garage.

Three sides of the structure will be covered by 4” polycarbonate tiles installed on vertical steel cables.
The cables will be spaced 4.75” apart.


https://twitter.com/TAParchitecture/status/1205158147318566912

The tiles (Duo-Gard FUSION) come in 102 standard colors and three different finishes from clear to matt.
They will form the basis of the "skin" of the garage exterior, allowing for artistic display.

The city just put out a 'Call To Artists' for this exterior design.

Deadline for Artist Submissions: January 8, 2020
Notification of Selection: by March 10, 2020

The north face, which will be blocked by an 8-story residential building (not yet constructed), will not be adorned, naturally.
