Upward view of a tall brick building with multiple windows, framed by two protruding portions of the building on either side, converging toward the blue sky. The building has decorative elements near the roof, and the clear sky contrasts with the beige bricks.

A view of an urban street featuring a row of cars parked in front of a large, multi-story stone building with rectangular windows. Trees line the sidewalk, and the sky is clear and blue. Other tall buildings are visible on both sides.

A sophisticated multi-family residential lobby featuring a central seating area with dark blue velvet curved sofas around a circular carpet, high ceilings, and ornately patterned terrazzo floors. Elegant chandeliers hang from a coffered ceiling. On the right, a staircase with a sleek, wooden handrail ascends to the level above and descends to a basement level, while on the left, two beige upholstered accent chairs make up a small seating grouping to the left with a gold-topped side table in between. Framed artwork and the ornately patterned terrazzo floor add a touch of luxury.

A art deco-inspired, elegant living room and kitchen area with wooden floors. The living room has a green velvet sofa, a light-colored wood-framed armchair, a wooden and metal coffee table, and a large TV on a dark stand. The kitchen features off-white upper cabinets, dark charcoal lower cabinets and island, stainless steel appliances, and a bar counter with hanging ovular pendant lights and dark stools. White curtains cover the windows, and various wall art pieces decorate the space. A potted plant is placed in the corner to the left.

The Sinclair Building | Tulsa

The Sinclair Building, an architectural masterpiece in the heart of Tulsa, Oklahoma's oil capital district, was first constructed in 1917 by the visionary Henry Sinclair.

This magnificent building was designed in the Beaux Arts style, showcasing its grandeur and elegance. Initially serving as an office complex, it now transforms into a multi-family apartment complex while paying homage to its rich history.

The rehabilitation design is nothing short of extraordinary. It modernizes the building to current standards while still preserving its historical significance. The 9-story tower is set to bring 64 new apartment units to downtown Tulsa, offering a contemporary and luxurious living experience. The breathtaking views from each apartment create a serene and sophisticated ambiance.

This transformation of the Sinclair Building into a modern and convenient housing option is a testament to the city's commitment to preserving its rich history while still providing for the needs of its residents. The Sinclair Building is a true gem in the city's skyline, and its new life as a multi-family apartment complex ensures that it will continue to be a landmark for future generations.
