to a company press release, the facility should be completed in the summer of 2023. Scott Keith, assistant director of airports for the City of Oklahoma City, said people may think the new OnCue store is a recent addition to Lariat Landing; however, it is not. The company, he said, agreed to build in Lariat Landing more than two years ago, but the pandemic and subsequent economic downturn forced the company to temporarily halt construction plans. “Even though an economic slowdown had occurred right after they agreed to build there, they indicated to us that they were completely going forward. But they first wanted to see how the stabilization of the economy went and what the habits of the consumers were going to be. Luckily, things have obviously gone forward very well, and they are now coming up out of the ground pretty rapidly,” he said. With the location of the Amazon facilities just about
a mile up the road from OnCue, Keith said the store will have access to a ready-made customer base of nearly 3,000 Amazon workers. Once completed, OnCue will be the first retail business and restaurant located in Lariat Landing. To help market Lariat Landing to aviation and nonaviation businesses that may be looking to relocate or expand to Oklahoma City, the airport in 2020 hired commercial real estate brokers CBRE and Price Edwards and Company. Through their efforts and a lessening of the pandemic’s effects on the market, the airport is seeing more interest from companies that view Lariat Landing as a potential landing spot, Keith said. “I think those two things combined have been a bonus for us for activity coming our way,” Keith said. “If you look at it from a high-level perspective, we’re sitting pretty good in terms of being able to attract new businesses out there.”
