Primrose School coming Downtown
I’m happy to be involved in this transaction, representing the seller and I’m looking forward to seeing more child care options in Downtown OKC. - Allison
“Downtown workers and residents soon may be able to gas up their car at OnCue, get a coffee across the street at Scooters and drop their kids off at Primrose School, all at the intersection of NW 13 and Classen Boulevard.
The intersection is a gateway to downtown’s historic neighborhoods and Midtown but for decades was run down, surrounded by an aging gas station, empty lots and a long boarded up office building. Now the rebuilt corridor is about to meet a need faced by many downtown workers and residents.
John Finnemore, development director with Primrose, said the school is designed for two stories to comply with the city’s design review regulations for the urban core. The site plan calls for the school to be built in the center of the block with playgrounds and green space west to Classen and parking east of the building.

Team effort key to creating niche in urban retail
"Walker Avenue in Midtown, once a stretch of blighted and mostly darkened buildings, is after a decadelong transformation now lined with apartments, offices, restaurants, bakeries, clothing and gift shops, salons and a hotel.
It's the sort of walk that awed Allison Bailey as a young girl when she visited similar throwback retail stretches in smaller towns in Oklahoma and Texas. Armed with that passion, relationships with small retailers and developers, Bailey, a broker with Price Edwards, has emerged as a go-to person in putting together deals to bring shopping back to downtown."
