Rose Creek Plaza Was Supposed to Have a Steakhouse. Here's What Edinburgh Got Instead.

Rose Creek Plaza Was Supposed to Have a Steakhouse. Here's What Edinburgh Got Instead.

Drive the loop through Edinburgh and you're two minutes from NW 164th and May on a good light. That corner has been under construction, in one form or another, since 2022, and if you've been in the neighborhood a while, you've watched the press releases stack up almost as fast as the retail pads. A chophouse. A brunch spot. A wine bar. All three announced with real names attached, all three now missing from the plaza's own tenant list.

That's not a knock on Rose Creek Plaza. It's actually the more useful story, because what filled the gap those three left behind turns out to be a better match for how a resident actually uses a corner like this on a Tuesday.

The Renderings You Saw in 2024

Rose Creek Plaza broke ground in early 2022 as a 27-acre, 220,000-square-foot development on the northwest corner of NW 164th and May, built by Skybridge Development. Homeland was the first confirmed tenant, and the plan from the start was for the grocery store to anchor a mixed-use corner with a town center, restaurants, boutiques, and coffee shops layered around it.

Two years later, in 2024, the plaza got its headline announcement. Provision Concepts, the Oklahoma hospitality group founded by Jeff Dixon in 2014, said it would bring three of its most recognized brands to the site: Broadway 10 Bar & Chophouse, Hatch Early Mood Food, and Sidecar Barley & Wine Bar. Broadway 10 in particular was a big deal, since the original location had been a fine-dining fixture since 2014 and this would only be its second storefront anywhere. For a while, that was the version of Rose Creek Plaza everyone in the neighborhood talked about.

What Homeland Actually Started

Before any of that, Homeland had already done the quiet work. The store broke ground in the summer of 2022 and opened to the public in the fall of 2023, giving the corner its first real reason for daily traffic. It's easy to overlook a grocery store opening as neighborhood news, but it's the thing that turns a construction site into a place people actually stop.

That distinction matters here, because everything that came after Homeland split into two very different categories: what got announced, and what got built.

Where Broadway 10, Hatch, and Sidecar Went

By late 2025, community tracking of the development's own tenant list showed Broadway 10, Hatch, and Sidecar no longer listed as part of Rose Creek Plaza. Local commenters following the project pointed to a broader pullback in restaurant expansion around the same period, the kind of climate where a growing group pauses new storefronts rather than opens them. Hatch itself hasn't disappeared. It still operates roughly half a dozen locations across the state. But the version of Hatch that was going to open a new storefront at your corner didn't materialize, and neither did its two siblings.

Nobody issued a follow-up press release explaining the change, which is fairly normal for retail development. Announcements get momentum. Withdrawals get silence. If you were waiting on a chophouse that was going to open near your gate, this is the closest thing to an official answer you'll find: it was real, it was planned, and it didn't happen.

What Filled the Space Instead

What actually moved into construction and opening status at Rose Creek Plaza looks nothing like a steakhouse lineup, and that's worth sitting with for a second before deciding it's a downgrade.

  • Summer Moon Coffee, Bang Cookies, and Omakase are already part of the center
  • Empire Slice Shop has plans in motion for a location at the plaza, adding to its existing full-service spots in the Plaza District and downtown Edmond
  • A freestanding building along May Avenue was under construction as of last fall to house OKC's first Waldo's Chicken location alongside a Taziki's Mediterranean
  • Pure Green was added to the plaza's tenant list around the same time

None of these are the kind of names that generate a news segment. All of them are the kind of names you actually use on a random weeknight, which is a different measure of value than the one press releases are built for.

Why the Quieter Mix Might Serve the Corner Better

A chophouse asks something of you. Reservations, a dressed-up evening, a plan. A coffee counter, a slice shop, a chicken sandwich spot, and a juice bar ask nothing. They exist for the version of your week that's actually running errands, picking up dinner between two other things, or grabbing a coffee before a 7 a.m. meeting.

Edinburgh is a gated, villa-style community built in the early 2000s specifically around low-maintenance, convenience-forward living. A corner two minutes away that trades one destination restaurant for four low-friction stops fits that pattern more closely than the original announcement did. You weren't necessarily going to drive to a chophouse on a Tuesday. You were always going to want a coffee run and a decent chicken sandwich within five minutes of your own driveway.

The traffic count backs up why any of this development pressure exists at all. NW 164th and May carries more than 25,000 vehicles a day, which is the kind of number that gets a corner built out fast whether or not every announced tenant follows through.

What's Still Filling In

As of the most recent local reporting last fall, the Waldo's and Taziki's building was still under construction rather than open, so treat that one as close but not confirmed until you see the doors unlocked. Pure Green's addition to the tenant list means it's coming, but a listed tenant and an open storefront are two different states, and this corner has already shown it can move between those states in either direction.

If you're the kind of resident who tracks this stuff the way some people track a sports league, the honest read is: check back at the corner itself before you plan a trip around any single name. The plaza has proven it will announce things it doesn't build and build things it never announced, sometimes within the same year or two.

The Corner Is Still Worth Watching

None of this changes what Edinburgh is, a quiet, gated pocket of northwest Edmond built for people who wanted low-maintenance living close to good amenities without being in the middle of them. What's changed is what "close to good amenities" actually means in practice. It's not a chophouse. It's a grocery store that's been open for nearly three years now, a coffee shop, a cookie counter, and a chicken sandwich building that was still going up as of last fall, four minutes from your own front gate.

That's a better corner than the one that got announced. It's just a quieter one, and it took a couple of years and one canceled steakhouse to get there.
