More businesses move into Downtown Tulsa

TULSA - Downtown Tulsa is benefiting from a lot of new development.

But bars and restaurants aren't the only things showing up.

Jennifer Jones is one of the latest business owners to set-up shop in downtown.

Icing on the Top had been out on the East side of town for the past few years, creating all sorts of tasty treats for every occasion.

"We do parties, anniversaries, baby showers," Jones said.

Jones told 2NEWS now was the right time for her to make a move with her company.

"There's just such an energy down here and such a focus to make it really be something," said Jones.

Downstairs from the cake design company you'll find Rhonda Reed arranging flowers.

"The Reed family has been a florist throughout the City of Tulsa [and] State of Oklahoma for approximately about 20 years," Reed said.

Her shop just moved into downtown, as well.

It's here Reed is close to dozens of wedding venues and churches.

She says the new flower play designs location also has some family history.

"I am from downtown. I mean my family, my grandmother worked at Vandervers. My mom went to Central High School, this is where they went, this is where they had fun," Reed said as she talked about downtown.

These businesses are part of the new wedding mall; it consists of everything a bride would need for her big day.

It's all in one location and helping to evolve this part of the city.

"Dj Connection is here. They have two offices right here. This is Omni Lighting," Cody Aldrich of Epic Photography said.

Aldrich gave 2NEWS crews a tour of the new space, Wednesday.

He has a vivd picture of what this district will look like in the next few years.

It's a future Aldrich and so many others want to be apart of.

"I really feel like the next decade is going to be huge for Downtown Tulsa," Aldrich said.

There's no sign of slowing down on the bar and restaurant scene.

Just a few blocks away there's a couple of new places under construction right now in the Blue Dome District and work is currently underway on a new hotel in the Brady District.
