New road that takes you from Cancer Treatment Center to 75th & Mingo

My Dentist is building his office next to me...

That's a lot of contruction.

Yes it is... They have put up the huge Cancer Treatment Center sign but I wasn't able to go near it... They are still working on it...

Tulsa really is changing... Finally

There is $500,000 in engineering cost to widen the street from 81st Mingo to 71st Mingo... But I found out from a developer that the person who owns the land and the Apartments are paying to widen some portion of the road... Cancer Treatment Center has bought some land and is putting this road in....

It's not really a change. South Tulsa has been growing wildly for the last 30 years.

It has been growing... But it always grows in one area and it's like a boom... And after there done with that area they move on to another...

Here is some cool new I found about the Cancer Treatment Building---

Wallace Engineering provided structural engineering services for new four-story, 195,000 square foot (expandable by 300%) treatment center. The new center sits on 12 acres and includes 30 inpatient rooms, 75 outpatient rooms and features state-of-the-art radiation therapy and infusion departments, full kitchen and dining facilities, on-site clinic, rehabilitation and therapy and rooftop gardens.

300% -- That means they can keep building floor on top of floor-- A total of 36 floors if they wanted to... The parking lot is always packed... They are currently expanding in the back part...

Looks like typical suburban sprawl to me. I'm not impressed at all by this! One residential building??? Ha! 15 Medical buildings, that stands out at me! The rest is sprawl!

Well the Apartment Complex--- 294 units
Chandler Park phase II--- 75 lots

That is what is u/c right now but that doesn't mean there is nothing being planned...

There is land that is next to the new apartment complex that is for sale and it is only zoned for residential use...

With new housing and hospital and medical in the area, it brings others along... I am just amazed because it happened like that... Overnight you can say...

Yeah, it’s Sprawl...

Yeah, that is a fast development. As far as comming from thin air! Where is this located exactly?

You're right it's just sprawl. But it's high-quality sprawl. These developments aren't the typical tract house you see over and over here in OKC.

Is that what they meant by being able to expand by 300%, being able to build up? That would be nice. I would much rather see them build up rather than out. Building some of it outward would be okay I guess, but up is so much cooler.

Do OKC tract houses use much brick? It seems development down there uses a lot more brick than in the Midwest. A typical track house in Indianapolis is composed almost entirely of vinyl siding, sometimes with brick in the front. But the rear of most of them are boring and ugly.

The same house, street after street...



And here's the deluxe version:
