But by the time leasing for the multifamily development begins in 2021, the property at 1140 NW 63rd St. in Oklahoma City will no longer be called the Residences at Classen Curve. “Residences at Classen Curve – that is a placeholder name,” Tom D’Arcy, senior managing director for Hines, told planning commissioners. “We actually met with Ghost, which is a marketing firm here on Broadway in Automobile Alley this morning, and we’ll be moving forward with a name and a marketing campaign here shortly.” Hines is a global real estate investment, development and management firm based in Houston that has been developing properties in Oklahoma City since 2010. The firm worked on the Devon Energy Center and Bank of Oklahoma buildings downtown. D’Arcy works in the firm’s Chicago office, which serves the Midwest region. A rendering shows what The Residences at Classen Curve, a multifamily housing development slated to begin construction in 2020, will “This project we were very excited look like.
