Pei plan for a new downtown Oklahoma City included a $100 million regional shopping galleria. However, the Pei plan was scratched by the 1980s, after 40 percent of downtown’s buildings were demolished. Price Edwards & Co. retail broker Jim Parrack said he didn’t know if the mall could have ever attracted the tenants to make the site work in the first place. In Muskogee, the mall near the historic downtown was studied by the University of Oklahoma’s Institute for Quality Communities and the Tulsa-based Urban Design Studio. The entities looked at how to use the mall building and parking lot, and connect the area to the downtown. The city was scheduled to hear the final recommendations this month. In Enid, the Oakwood Mall was sold in December 2016, with the new buyers paying less than the asking price. Enid Regional Development Authority Executive Director Brent Kisling said the city is hopeful AMC Theatres will update the cinema since the property has new ownership. The city has seen retail development across Owen K. Garriott Road, with companies building shopping centers that attract Academy Sports + Outdoors, T.J. Maxx, and Old Navy. “We need to make sure the next generation of businesses move into the mall,” he said.
