Legends Global Partners adds to portfolio with Boardwalk at Bricktown in Oklahoma City

Firm’s Debut Portfolio boasts $100 Billion in Project Deals Worldwide

/EIN News/ -- DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, June 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Legends Global Partners (LGP) proudly announces its involvement with the Boardwalk at Bricktown, a pioneering development in Oklahoma City that boasts the tallest tower in the United States. With an impressive 5 million square feet of development over nearly 4 acres, the Boardwalk at Bricktown project incorporates nearly 2,000 residential units, 1,000 hotel rooms, retail, and restaurant spaces, developed by Matteson Capital and designed by renowned architecture and planning firm, AO.

“Oklahoma City is experiencing a population boom,” said Scot Matteson, President of Matteson Capital and partner in LGP. “As the city continues to grow, this is the perfect time to bring high density development that creates housing and jobs within the urban core.”

As part of LGP’s portfolio of high-impact developments, the Boardwalk at Bricktown project comes at a time when investment into large scale infrastructure projects are a priority across the country. With the recent news that DAMAC Properties, the largest private developer in the United Arab Emirates, will be investing $20 billion into data centers into eight U.S. states, Oklahoma is one of the prime areas of investment. The Oklahoma City Boardwalk project has already cleared regulatory hurdles, including approval from the City Council and Federal Aviation Administration.

“As we have seen in the Emirates, large scale projects like Boardwalk are just the beginning of possibility and the first step towards attracting new talent to a region,” remarked Arjomand, Founder and Chairman of Arjomand Group and partner in LGP. “This is the time to create new, innovative, projects that serve the needs of the community while providing access for economic revitalization,” added Paul Edalat, Founder and Chairman of Vivera and partner in LGP.

Oklahoma City continues to experience rapid growth and has been ranked as having the third lowest business cost among major metropolitan areas by Moody’s Analytics. With the mix of aerospace, biosciences, and energy industry leaders and a young, educated workforce, Oklahoma City is a prime area for investment. LGP believes that a shift towards higher density urban areas will ultimately attract more diverse industries seeking to find highly skilled workers.

LGP is actively pursuing a diverse range of transformative projects that reflect the evolving demands of modern development. In addition to the Boardwalk at Bricktown, LGP is also pursuing a 6.5 million square foot development project in Southern California. The Katella Gateway will be home to over 1,700 hotel rooms, 1,300 residential units, and a wide mix of retail and restaurant offerings. Ideally situated in the heart of Anaheim, the Katella Gateway development brings a unique mix of experiential offerings designed to enhance not only the city’s tourism efforts, but the local community as well.

These innovative projects are helping to define a new standard for experience-driven, sustainable communities—positioning them as the next great destinations that bring lasting benefits to cities, businesses, residents, and visitors alike. Alongside its Oklahoma City and Anaheim projects, LGP is actively working on innovative new developments in Hawaii, Miami, Los Angeles, New York, Europe, Asia, the Caribbean and Bahamas, and the United Arab Emirates.
