$80M Boulevard Place set to rise in downtown OKC after years of delays

A tower crane is set to once again appear in the downtown Oklahoma City skyline as construction ramps up on the long-delayed $80 million Boulevard Place immediately east of the Omni Hotel. The seven-story, 262-unit Boulevard Place is the tallest downtown housing built from scratch since the 1966 opening of the 24-story Regency Tower at 333 NW 5th St. Boulevard Place is being built at the southeast corner of E.K. Gaylord Boulevard and Oklahoma City Boulevard and is at the gateway to the stadium district being built to the east. The owners of the Oklahoma City Thunder, meanwhile, have shown an interest in developing the current Paycom Center block that is north of Boulevard Place once Continental Coliseum is complete. All of that development provides little wiggle room for construction, said John Semtner, project engineer with Tradesman Architectural Studios. "This project is a very tight and difficult site," Semtner said. "To see this rise up out of the ground is a very exciting moment in construction."

Semtner said the slab will be next, with the building rising out of the ground

Democratic wave could bring changes to Oklahoma County government

Oklahoma County government could have a distinctly different feel in a few months after Democrats swept general election races. Voters flipped the Board of Oklahoma County Commissioners in an election that ended Republican Party rule, which had held since the 1970s. Plus, if freshly elected Democrats vote as a bloc, the Nov. 3 election will lead to a shift in the balance of power on the usually nonpartisan County Budget Board, where personalities often dictate action more than partisan politics. Come Jan. 4, 2027, the commissioners' board will have a 2-1 Democratic majority, with Jennifer Mayo, 35, representing District 3 , which has not been held by a Democrat since 1981. She will join Democratic Commissioner Jason Lowe of District 1 and District 2's Brian Maughan , who will be the lone Republican. Also on Jan. 4, Democratic Assessor-elect John Gibbons will take office after beating incumbent Larry Stein. Democratic Treasurer-elect Jessica Thompson , 37, who won that open seat, will not take office until July, the start of the 2027-28 fiscal year.

Oklahoma County voters soundly defeat jail sales tax

Oklahoma County voters soundly defeated a county sales tax to finish and operate a new jail campus that includes a nearly complete Behavioral Care Center, according to unofficial results from the Oklahoma State Election Board. The vote on Tuesday, Nov. 3, thwarts the county's plan to fully complete the campus at 1901 E. Grand Blvd. in southeast Oklahoma City and eventually replace the aging 13-story jail tower at 201 N. Shartel Ave. downtown. Unless another sales tax election is called and succeeds, the county will be left with a hybrid operation, with the old jail downtown and the care center, diversion, intake, kitchen, and laundry at 1901 E. Grand. With all precincts reporting, the tally was: For: 84,143, or 37.7%. Against: 139,181, or 63.3%. Official election results will not be certified until Nov. 6. LIVE: It's Election Day in Oklahoma: Governor race, state questions, live updates District 2 County Commissioner Brian Maughan, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, could not be immediately reached for comment. Maughan was the tax's leading proponent. However, leaders of People's Council for Justice Reform , the main opponent of the tax − and the plans for the new jail − have made their position

Oklahoma City for the Longer Stay: Golf Estates, Lakefront Evenings and a 1911 Hotel

The upscale way to stay in Oklahoma City for more than a week is a private estate in the gated northwest or on Lake Hefner, with downtown's 1911 hotel and Midtown's seventh-floor terrace for the evenings. The city does not market itself as a luxury destination, and that is the appeal: no velvet rope, no crowds, and the golf neighborhoods, lakefront streets, historic hotel and gallery village all within a 25-minute drive of each other.
