This 20‑acre mixed‑use community is shaping up to redefine how residents live in the metro—combining high‑end residential, retail, hospitality and office space all in one walkable, integrated environment. For anyone interested in Oklahoma City real estate—or the evolving lifestyle of the region—OAK deserves your attention.

Why OAK Matters for the Real Estate Market

1. Lifestyle Appeal
   Walkable mixed‑use developments are rare in the region—but increasingly in demand. OAK offers direct access to shops, restaurants, green space and residences in one place, appealing to professionals, downsizers and luxury lifestyle seekers.

2. Location Strength
   Its proximity to Northwest Expressway, Nichols Hills, Bethany and downtown Oklahoma City gives strong connectivity and prestige. For buyers or renters seeking a premium address with urban convenience, OAK delivers.

3. Modern Amenities & First‑Mover Advantage
   With new‑to‑market retail and restaurant concepts, high‐end apartments and hotel, OAK is ahead of the curve. Early residents or investors may benefit from establishing occupancy, lifestyle momentum and future value growth.

4. Investment Potential
   Mixed‑use developments often create resilient value propositions. Because OAK blends several property types (residential, hospitality, retail, office), it has multiple leverage points for growth—and offers opportunities for buyers looking to live, invest or lease.

Real Estate Opportunity & Considerations

• If you are looking to rent in premium apartments, Residences at OAK offers luxury finishes, amenity‑rich living and urban vibrancy.

• If you are considering a purchase or investment, keep an eye on phases of OAK for future residential product or condo conversion potential.

• Because OAK is in early phases, timing matters. Early entrants may secure better pricing or options; however, being part of a development under construction also means attentiveness to timelines, construction activity and future lifecycle.

What We’re Watching

• Delivery of additional units, retail space and office components as project phases roll out.

• Tenant mix and brand announcements—the “who” fills the retail and dining space helps drive desirability.

• Walkability features, events and community activation in the green space (Heartwood Park) which shapes the social fabric and value of the neighborhood.

• Resale and rental activity in the adjacent areas which may feed demand into OAK once fully operational.
