Not long after Gary Brooks announced he was buying downtown’s First National Center and launching a $230 million building renovation, the packages and stories began rolling in. In three years, when First National Center’s renovations are planned for completion, the building will offer a 145-room luxury hotel, 200 apartments, a high-end basement vault restaurant, a bar and lounge with downtown views from the 31st floor, 25,000 square feet of retail and commercial space and parking. When First National Center reopens in 2020, it will join a growing list of historic preservation projects in downtown Oklahoma City — The Skirvin Hilton Oklahoma City hotel, 21c Museum Hotel (the former Fred Jones Manufacturing plant), Main Street Arcade and the Sunshine Laundry building.
