What Opened in Edmond in November?

Walmart's new Supercenter at 6805 NW 138th St. opened Wed., Nov. 4, according to KOCO coverage of the opening. It sits at Rockwell Avenue and the Kilpatrick Turnpike and carries an Oklahoma City address. Around there, a mailing city and a city limit are not always the same thing, which is the whole point of the Edmond-or-Oklahoma-City address guide.
Kelly Hollow Apartments
Kelly Hollow, an apartment community at 1125 W. Edmond Rd., held its grand opening ribbon cutting with the Edmond Area Chamber of Commerce, which posted the ribbon cutting on Oct. 28.

What Is Being Built or Changing in Edmond?
tru by Hilton breaks ground near Legacy at Covell
The City of Edmond announced a groundbreaking on Nov. 4 at 2865 Progressive Drive for a 98-room tru by Hilton. The city puts the direct investment at $17 million with 25 to 30 jobs and an expected opening in early 2028. It would be Edmond's 14th hotel and the first new one since the Hilton Garden Inn in 2018, per the city.
Delaware Creek: 599 lots near Coffee Creek and Sooner
The Planning Commission approved the Delaware Creek preliminary plat 3-0 on Oct. 20, according to the draft minutes in the Nov. 3 Planning Commission packet. It covers 599 residential lots in Tracts 3 and 4 of the Liberty Park East planned unit development, northwest and southwest of Coffee Creek Road and Sooner Road. The minutes say that development had a 478-lot cap on those tracts, which the Planning Director removed through an administrative minor modification. The plat doesn't go to City Council.
The same packet has a 66-lot final plat for Jackson Creek 2 (26.32 acres east of Douglas Boulevard, south of Sorghum Mill Road) on the Nov. 3 agenda. The minutes for that meeting haven't been posted yet.
If you live near Coffee Creek and Sooner, the full plat documents are in that packet. The Edmond development tracker follows the bigger projects around east Edmond.
Edmond Road and Broadway: westbound closed
Phase 2 of the intersection project started Nov. 2, according to the city project update. Eastbound Edmond Road between Broadway and Fretz has reopened, and westbound is fully closed for about two weeks, weather permitting. The work covers concrete panels, signal rehab, ADA upgrades and stormwater.
Arcadia Lake Trail connector ribbon cutting is off for now
The city had a Nov. 20 ribbon cutting planned for the Arcadia Lake Trail's northwest connector. Its EdmondBikes page now says recent rains washed out the low-water crossing that was still under construction, and to stay tuned. Once finished, the extension ties into the Spring Creek Trail about 2 miles west of Midwest Boulevard. More on Arcadia Lake and the city's trail network is in the Edmond parks and trails guide.
Oklahoma County jail sales tax fails
Oklahoma County voters turned down the proposed 0.40% sales tax for the jail on Nov. 3, 139,181 to 84,143, according to unofficial State Election Board results reported by NonDoc. According to the same unofficial results, voters elected John Gibbons as county assessor over incumbent Larry Stein. The assessor's office values property for tax purposes, and the 2026 property tax levies for Edmond and Deer Creek show how that turns into a bill.
The Bottom Line
November in Edmond is mostly holiday calendar plus steady growth on the east side. The rink and Luminance carry the month, and Edmond Road at Broadway is the one to plan your commute around. What's new in your corner of town that should make next month's list?
