sandridgecommonsOKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A preservation group says it won't appeal a decision by a city board allowing SandRidge Energy Inc. to tear down five buildings as part of a planned development of its downtown campus. The decision by Preservation Oklahoma announced Thursday removes a roadblock to SandRidge's plans to demolish the buildings, including one of Oklahoma City's oldest structures, the India Temple Building. The $100 million "SandRidge Commons" plan also includes the remodeling of a 29-story tower once occupied by Kerr-McGee Corp. before its 2007 sale and the former Braniff Building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Oklahoma City Board of Adjustment decided to affirm a decision of the Downtown Design Review Committee, which approved SandRidge's plan in April.
