Property Highlights

In the heart of Tulsa?s Brady Arts District, a contaminated former truck terminal quickly transformed into an urban green space that boasts numerous forms of renewable energy. This Tulsa neighborhood was historically a thriving industrial area, but started to see a decrease in economic activity around the 1990's. However, recent initiatives such as the Park on Brady are spurring the revitalization of the district while including efforts to conserve its historic character. In 2009, the George Kaiser Family Foundation (GKFF), a non-profit dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty through investments in early childhood education, community health, social services and civic enhancement, sponsored a series of community visioning sessions to create a plan for the future revitalization of the district. The visioning sessions gave rise to the creation of the Brady Arts District Small Area Plan. The plan has been critical to the Park on Brady?s success as it established development guidelines to guarantee that the district will maintain its authenticity as an arts district while protecting its defining historical character. GKFF purchased the property for the Park on Brady in 2008 with plans to invest 8 million to convert the contaminated truck terminal into a low impact community hub and urban green space. GKFF anticipated the removal and remediation of two petroleum underground storage tanks and suspected one or two more tanks from an old gasoline station nearby. To cover the remediation costs of this brownfield site, GKFF applied for and received a Brownfield grant from the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, which was provided through American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding. Once the remediation began, GKFF discovered that they had a much larger contamination problem. Ultimately, twelve tanks were removed from the park?s footprint of only one city block. $160,301.27 was provided by the ARRA RLF subgrant from DEQ to remove the twelve tanks. Innovative geothermal technology beneath the Park on Brady provides for approximately 600 tons of low-cost, low-emissions heating and cooling to more than 135,000 square feet in the neighboring Mathews Warehouse and the Hardesty Arts Center. High performance geo-exchange (HPGX) materials allow for new well fields in urban areas that were previously inaccessible due to their limited footprint size. Lane Lawless from Rygan stated that ?Rygan's HPGX technology has been implemented on a variety of projects around the country including national historic sites, City of Chicago buildings, Dept. of Navy, and Dept. of Interior (National Park Service). The Brady project is currently the largest geo exchange well field of its kind in the world.? The Mathews Warehouse building, formerly the Tulsa Paper Company, was converted to exhibition, studio, and performing arts space for the Arts and Humanities Council Tulsa, the University of Tulsa?s Zarrow Center for Arts and Education, the Gilcrease Museum and the Philbrook Museum of Art. These non-profit organizations will directly benefit from the low-cost, low-emissions heating and cooling that will be provided to the building. The Park on Brady also harnesses solar energy to power park amenities and lighting. The pavilion was outfitted with 194 solar panels that are estimated to generate 37.83 kW for a projected annual savings of 5,155. LED pedestrian lighting was used throughout the park and the Brady Arts District to further reduce energy usage, maintenance costs, and light pollution. The Park on Brady has an 11,000 square-foot covered pavilion, an equipped performance area, and green spaces centered on the large open lawn of the park?s central axis. Other features include native garden features, brick and concrete paved paths, large interactive jet fountains and four small water features. Additionally, the park is designed to incorporate numerous sustainable features such as bio-swales, LED lighting, photovoltaic solar cells on the pa
