New Retail, Restaurant Development Breaks Ground In Tulsa’s Pearl District

The Tulsa Property Group broke ground Thursday on a new restaurant and retail space just south of Centennial Park. 

Developers said this is not only a space for those who live near Centennial Park, but a place for everyone in Tulsa to enjoy. 

This latest space is second phase of Tulsa Property Group’s development at Centennial Park.

"Part of what we're doing now, is just bringing something to the community," says Luke Westerfield with Tulsa Property Group. 

Phase one of the project was 54 apartments as part of the Village Flats Complex, which is now complete. The second phase will add 24 more apartments, plus 7,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space. 

Westerfield said they are happy to be adding more developmental space to the area.

"Really, our thought behind this is to have an amenity not just for residents at Village Flats, but also for the Village at Central Park and the rest of the Pearl District," he said. 

A new space for restaurants and shops means more jobs for those in Tulsa.  Developer Nathan Garrett said they are happy to add jobs to the city, especially after a tough year with the pandemic.

"Obviously, the commercial space has the potential of increasing jobs in the area here in the Pearl District. We're in an opportunity zone which we are pleased to be a part of," said Garrett. 

Phase two of the project is expected to be complete in spring of 2022.
