Eastbrook development breaks ground
9/14/2006
Ground was broken Thursday on a long-planned mixed-use project called Eastbrook on 35th Place near Peoria Avenue.
The development, which combines a two-story, 3,000-square-foot office building with eight townhouses ranging from 2,898 to 3,261 square feet, will bring "urban living" to Brookside by next spring, said Jim Glass, head of New Urban LLC, the developing company.
"I felt that urban living was what is missing within Brookside," he said.
The development is one of an increasing number of mixed-use living projects planned or under way in Tulsa, most of which are in or near downtown.
Eastbrook is estimated to cost well over $4 million.
Glass said the project was approved by City Council in September 2005, but a lengthy platting process delayed construction.
Each of Eastbrook's townhouses will be a separate building that abuts its neighbors, Glass said. They will be offered for sale starting at $550,000, and two have already sold.
"They're very urban and pedestrian-oriented," he said.
The two-story office building has already been purchased by Terry Donovan of ILO Inc. interior design and David Leifeste, a psychotherapist.
They plan to occupy the lower floor and rent the upper level, Glass said.
The development, which features a stucco exterior and outdoor fireplaces, was inspired by the Northern Sonoma wine country in California, he said.
McGraw Davisson Stewart is serving as broker on the project, and construction is headed by Cowen Construction.
