Archer Warehouse
A creative hub in the heart of the Tulsa Arts District, blending artist housing, studios and local retail.
Wallace Design Collective provided civil engineering services for the adaptive reuse of an existing two-story historic warehouse in the Tulsa Arts District. The new 72,000 square foot mixed-use facility features 35 art studios, 14 apartments for artists participating in the Tulsa Artist Fellowship and almost a dozen retailers.
Rent for retail tenants is below market rate to give small businesses the opportunity to take advantage of the location in the district. Retailers include a mix of local shops and restaurants.
The Archer Building itself was also renovated with an eye toward improving the walkability of the Tulsa Arts District and was funded by the George Kaiser Family Foundation. The Foundation continues to reactivate local buildings that are underused for the benefit of Tulsans and visitors. This project is yet another step in the right direction.
