We are older adults who live in Heritage Hills and within a couple of years will want to live on one floor. We hope the Edge will offer us a place with character, storage, and a fitness center that is in the approximate area of where we now live and the neighborhood we enjoy so much.

Kathy, I was taking the titles from the original jpeg names. Can you send me the original rendering for Walker?

Correction to pictures posted … The watercolor rendering you have titled “original Edge facade facing Walker” is actually the 13th street elevation.

Thanks for the link, Pete. I must have somehow missed over at OKCtalk.com the first time through.

Mike N., you’ve pretty much written a negative comment here, which is ironic if it’s just the negativity that you’re so annoyed by. The simple fact is that Mike Henderson has a bit of a “legacy” (you could say) around here, and it isn’t a good thing. How is this not relevant, and how are we not supposed to complain when we don’t like what we see? That’s called democracy.

Cheers from Prague,
NR

like many others here, I too was disappointed in the results of the Legacy, and therefore surprised in selection of the same developer for this new and somewhat high-profile project. I think the “nay-saysers” are justifiably concerned about a repeat, despite verbal reassurances from the developer. Words can only go so far.

The problem with Legacy is clearly a quality issue – probably due to various aspects getting scaled back during construction.

To avoid a repeat, will require sufficient city oversight through ALL phases of the build, to ensure that the end-product matches the approved proposal.

The fact that the ‘Makers” of the The Legacy were chosen for something so close to Heritage Hills is a disappointment. There were others that had better plans. My hope, and I mean HOPE, is that this will improve the area, not clutter it. Hopefully the area will become more a hub once again. I also hope that this does not drive folks away from the Heritage Hills area. I am one that remembers it when it was not at its best. And actually that was not that long ago. Let us all HOPE for the best.

Matt, the 4th image down was changed to the one immediately below it, so as to include a little over 8,000 square feet of retail space.

What other projects has Brooks/Henderson developed?

Please tell me that they have more developments than “Their Legacy”?

If it turns out like the 4th image down, right after the site plan, that would be nice. There is depth to it and the projections won’t be cheap. But I question that $30 million will be able to produce much more than a flat facade, especially after you consider the parking garage and the fact that it is 5 stories tall.

Are those going to be useful balconies and windows projecting off the garage? If not, it is totally lame and a complete waste of money. If it is a garage, make it look like a garage. It will be value engineered out anyway, I will put money on that.
