The History of Union Plaza
Union Plaza has long been a notable landmark in Oklahoma City. Built in the mid-20th century, this iconic office building was constructed as part of a broader development plan to enhance the business district along NW Expressway, which was a key arterial route for the city. Known for its modern design at the time of construction, the building has housed a variety of businesses over the decades, serving as an economic hub for local enterprises.
As the surrounding area developed, Union Plaza became a central location for commerce in Oklahoma City. Despite changes in tenants and market conditions, the building has remained a key asset in the city’s commercial real estate portfolio.
Citizen Potawatomi Nation’s Acquisition of Union Plaza
In recent years, the Citizen Potawatomi Nation (CPN) recognized the value of this historic property and made the strategic decision to acquire it. The purchase reflects CPN’s commitment to expanding its economic footprint in the region and diversifying its real estate holdings. With deep roots in Oklahoma and a history of successful business ventures, CPN saw the acquisition of Union Plaza as an opportunity to strengthen its presence in the state’s business community.
The purchase of this property was also part of a broader initiative by CPN to invest in urban areas and foster partnerships that benefit both the tribe and the local economy. CPN has been known for leveraging its resources in ways that contribute to the growth and vitality of the surrounding communities, and acquiring Union Plaza was a natural extension of that vision.
The Future of Union Plaza
Under the ownership of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, Union Plaza is poised for revitalization. CPN has expressed plans to modernize the building’s infrastructure while preserving its historical significance. These upgrades are expected to attract new tenants and businesses, bringing renewed life to the property.
CPN also envisions using Union Plaza as a hub for its business operations in Oklahoma City, further integrating the tribe’s interests with the city’s economic landscape. The building’s prime location makes it an ideal base for both tribal and external business ventures, and CPN’s investment will likely lead to increased economic activity in the area.
With plans for modernization and strategic use of the space, CPN aims to make Union Plaza a center for innovation and commerce, reflecting the tribe’s broader goals of economic empowerment and community development.
