PEC Launches OKC Space Finder

September 22nd, 2011 | Posted by Marcie Price in Corporate - (0 Comments)

Price Edwards & Company is pleased to announce the launch of OKC Space Finder, a web application aimed at helping businesses locate available commercial real estate lease space in the Oklahoma City metro area. The site features office, retail, and industrial property types in a searchable format. Results are displayed in a map view backed by Microsoft’s Bing Maps engine.

The initial view displays properties based on submarket. Selecting a submarket on the map gives the user the average lease rate in the submarket along with a count of how many properties are available in that area. Filters allow the user to further slice-and-dice the selected area with square feet and demographic parameters. In addition to submarkets, the site allows the user to use postal zip codes to segment the market. Selecting a highlighted zip code on the map will create a pop-up containing a demographic summary of that area. Choosing a property displays detailed information about the property including facts, photos, leasing contact information, and the option to download a PDF flyer. Creating an account on the OKC Space Finder will grant access to additional functionality such as the ability to favorite a property for later analysis.

OKC Space Finder is the first tool of its kind for the Oklahoma City commercial real estate market. It gives the user the power to position their business in the best possible location, and the site’s data makes it an excellent research tool.

To learn more and use the site, go to www.okcspacefinder.com.

Red Bud Center

Central Park I & II

Chesapeake Land Development Company, LLC purchased the Central Park I & II office buildings in Oklahoma City for $29 million. The seller was an entity affiliated with Rosemont Realty of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Central Park is comprised of twin, six-story atrium buildings containing a total of approximately 237,500 square feet. Each tower offers secure underground parking for approximately 50 cars. Central Park II has areas dedicated for weights, racquetball and handball. Located at the intersection of Interstate 44 and Lincoln Boulevard, the buildings are generally considered to be Class B/B+ assets.

Each building was well leased at the time of the sale. However, Enogex, which occupied over 100,000 square feet in Central Park II had a near term lease expiration, and had made known its intent to ultimately move downtown. Chesapeake recognized this would be the only remaining large block of high quality vacant office in the suburban market, and moved quickly to gain control of the asset in order to help deal with the firm’s continued growth.
