Originally constructed in 1928 as the Building & Loan Association, this landmark two-story brick building was later home to a T.G.&Y. variety store—an iconic name in Oklahoma’s retail history. Today, it sits on Capitol Hill’s original main street, at the crossroads of historic identity and urban resurgence.
The property’s north-facing façade has been carefully restored, showcasing original red brick, carved stone detailing, and tall storefront glass bays that bring in light and presence. The structure’s steel truss framing and reinforced masonry and wood-framed interior elements provide lasting stability, while exposed interior brick, mezzanine overlook, concert 1st floor, and wood floor 2nd story offer raw character ready for modern adaptation.
New infrastructure—including a 2025-installed passenger elevator, rooftop HVAC, sprinkler riser, 3-phase power, and extensive plumbing for 10+ restrooms and showers—brings the building up to speed without erasing its legacy.
What makes this opportunity stand out isn’t just what’s inside the building—but what’s happening around it. Just half a block away (visible), the Capitol Hill Plaza is under construction—a $3 million civic project designed to bring art, foot traffic, and community events to SW 25th. Within one mile, you'll find the $116M Capitol Hill High School redevelopment, the $900M OKC Thunder arena, the proposed $150M multipurpose stadium, and hundreds of new rooftops in the Wheeler District—all part of a layered investment ecosystem reshaping south downtown OKC.
Capitol Hill has been quietly building momentum for years. Now, with long-awaited public projects finally under construction, the area is crossing a threshold—from speculation to activation. This building stands in plain sight of that shift.
Whether you’re looking to launch a flagship concept, reposition a signature asset, or invest in a corridor with deep roots and real upside, 220 SW 25th St offers both substance and story. Rarely does a property offer this much authenticity, infrastructure, and visibility in a district poised for its next breakthrough.
