Wheeler District is a growing community situated on the south bank of the Oklahoma River.
While honoring the site’s history as a downtown airpark, the modern development offers residents varied housing options in a walkable and bikeable community. Visitors can explore retail and restaurant spaces, a public park, the historic Santa Monica Ferris wheel, and other unique locations as the multi-decade plan expands.
Master Development Plan
Wheeler District features a range of housing options for those who want the convenience and quality of a newly constructed home connected to the amenities and activities of Oklahoma City’s dynamic urban core.
Wheeler represents the creation of an entirely new urban district. A mix of live/work/play spaces like shops, a brewery, restaurants, offices, and small businesses creating a connected and vibrant community.
Rescued from the Santa Monica Pier and brought to Oklahoma City, the Ferris Wheel has become an instant landmark and gathering place in our city. The Wheel is a destination for locals and tourists, neighbors and visitors, young and old alike.
