Key points

  • Seven new two-bedroom units opened in north Tulsa, three of them ADA-accessible
  • Cost topped $1.35 million: $450,000 tribal, $900,000 from the City of Tulsa and Partner Tulsa
  • Next up: Flat Rock Ridge (up to 45 homes), Utica Crossing (up to 10 units) and $3 million in elder duplexes

The Cherokee Nation has opened the Harvard Apartments in north Tulsa: seven two-bedroom units of 840 square feet each. Three are ADA-accessible, and one is equipped for residents with visual and hearing impairments [1].

The project cost more than $1.35 million, with $450,000 from the tribe and $900,000 from the City of Tulsa and Partner Tulsa. A ribbon-cutting was held Oct. 28 [1].

Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. called the opening "a win, I think, for the whole community" [1].

The tribe is not stopping there. Tribal Business News reports plans for $2.5 million in lots at Flat Rock Ridge for up to 45 homes, more than $1.9 million for Utica Crossing with up to 10 units in 2027, and $3 million for duplexes for elders [1].

It is a practical answer to a housing shortage that families across Tulsa feel every month: a tribal government, a city and local partners building real homes together.
