Envision Comanche Master Plan
Tulsa, Oklahoma
Client
Tulsa Housing Authority
Description
In 2018, the Tulsa Housing Authority (THA), through the support of philanthropy partners and several community and governmental organizations, dedicated significant resources to develop the Envision Comanche Master Plan. Their objective was to transform
the Comanche Park planning area into a mixed-use, mixed-income community while ensuring a strict one-for-one replacement
of all existing units. The overall goal was to highlight, enhance and improve economic and cultural diversity in the area surrounding
Peoria Avenue and 36th Street North in North Tulsa.
The goal is to replace Comanche Park with a well-managed, financially viable, high quality, energy-efficient, mixed-income development that includes 560 units of housing, both on-site and off-site, including 271 replacement public housing units, with unit sizes that are appropriate to the space needs of current families and that meet financing requirements and standards for unit size and tenant amenities. Additional affordable and/or market rate units are included in the development program to ensure that the property becomes a mixed income development that can be financed and managed in a fiscally viable manner. Affordable homeownership opportunities are included as a component of the replacement housing plan, and will provide first-time homeownership opportunities to low and middle income families, with a particular focus on providing opportunities to public housing residents.
