Developers have opened applications for the first 13 units at Black Wall Street Square, a new 25-townhome development located in north Tulsa. The project at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and East Reading Street aims to provide housing for residents across all income levels.
Why it matters
This development represents a significant effort to increase residential options in north Tulsa. By offering down payment assistance and mortgage support for smaller units, the project seeks to make homeownership accessible to a wider demographic.
The $8.4 million project includes 17 smaller units eligible for financial aid and 8 market-rate townhomes featuring two-car garages. Interested buyers must attend a 30-minute informational session provided by Green Country Habitat for Humanity.

Culture Shift
This development reflects a broader shift toward inclusive urban renewal that prioritizes local community access over exclusive luxury housing. It marks a transition from previous decades of limited investment in north Tulsa toward structured, subsidized residential growth.
