FAQs
What are the plans for the property?
While our plans are to sell or develop the property, we are early in the process. We have completed conceptual designs and believe a mixture of residential development, commercial development, and neighborhood parks would benefit the area. We are continuing to design and engineer the potential development of Berryhill Creek with hopes of a 2025-2026 launch.
Where is the property?
The property is located in the heart of Berryhill next to the school.
Would you consider selling a part of the property to the school for expansion?
Yes. Our relationship with the school is important to us. We are in regular contact with the school administration and continue an open dialog. The sewer project also allows the school to reclaim property after remediation of the lagoon system.
Will this impact the school’s independent school district status?
Absolutely not. While city easements will be needed to bring sewer to the school, it will remain 100% independent much like other successful districts such as Tulsa Union which is nestled in the cities of Tulsa and Broken Arrow.
Will this impact the unincorporated status of my property?
Absolutely not. Existing property owners will remain a part of unincorporated Tulsa County.
Will the property of the potential Berryhill Creek become a part of Sand Springs?
At this time, it is unclear if it would be beneficial to become a part Sand Springs. Much of the property on the west side of 65th already resides in city limits so it may be beneficial for the remainder of our development property to become a part of Sand Springs depending on the services available. This will not impact the boundaries of the school district, fire district, existing businesses, or existing homeowners.
Will the school district and fire protection district benefit from a tax/assessment perspective?
Yes, the project will benefit both the school and fire protection district. New homes and development in the area will increase the tax base and assessments benefiting the school and fire protection district.
Is sewer a requirement for the development to take place?
Absolutely not. The Rolling Oaks lift station sits on our property and access rights were granted over a decade ago for the majority of the land. Areas of the property may also be better served by aerobic systems as utilized in neighboring developments such as Teal Ridge and Angus Valley Farms.
How is Berryhill Creek providing access across the property for the school sewer project?
Normally, access across acres of private property for water, sewer or other utility use requires easements resulting in negotiations and paid damages to the landowner. In this case, we are providing acres of easement to the project at no charge.
What kind of commercial development is planned?
The property adjoining 57th West Avenue and the area directly across from John’s Berryhill Food Market has the most likelihood of becoming commercial property. It’s still too early know exactly what businesses will be interested in these areas, but restaurants are definitely at the top of our list!
What type of residential development is planned?
A mixture of single-family homes is our current plan. This would include a combination of starter, midsize, and estate-sized homes. There are no plans for apartments, duplexes, or other types of residential.
How will the school and fire protection district accommodate the development?
New development means new tax and assessment dollars for our school and fire protection district, respectively. This development will take place over a period of years, so our school and fire protection district will likely grow with time as needed.
