Downtown has noticeably become more popular in recent times, and there’s no sign of that changing in the near future.

A conference center hotel is also on the agenda as possible addition to downtown. If it goes as planned, it will exceed 20 stories.

SandRidge Energy is also plotting a new building–which is likely to top 15 stories. Devon Energy Center is also a potential 50 story complex in the works. The Oklahoma City movers are excited by the potential jobs these new buildings may bring.

The downtown parking system in Oklahoma City is apparently growing slower than the population in the area–parking garages are at a 95% occupancy rate and parking is no longer a guaranteed perk for new companies looking to move into the downtown district.

With what seems like terrible timing, the city also was notified by the Oklahoma Transportation Department the need for vacating a parking lot that is currently using 350 spots. As the Oklahoma City movers predicted, our city is heading towards a significant growth spurt.

According to the city, there are no quick or easy solutions. Hopefully some resolution comes soon, otherwise people will have to embrace one of two options: public transportation or remote working.
