They are looking for a "sweet flip". They have no pride in their properties and don't see the long-term picture. We've got plenty of boarded up neglected buildings in Bricktown, several canal facing prime real estate. They don't even have the pride to repair broken windows. They all demand uber high rental prices and haven't had any takers for years now. Folks, demand controls price and their has been no demand. Retail will be the demise of Bricktown and we can thank greedy property owners who think they are going to hold out for the big fish, when in fact that opportunity may never come because they held out too long. Rent out all the vacant space for a more realistic price. If you fill it out, then you can start to raise rates as demand allows. Wake up folks. I won't even rant on the joke that is Randy Hogan's lower stucco town, I mean "brick" town. Talk about no vision. Many Bricktown investors are a joke and not visionaries.
