The Hawthorne Neighborhood of north Tulsa and the adjacent commercial corridor along 36th St. N. were developed in the 1950’s. “White flight” in the early 1970’s led eventually to the closing of many of the retail businesses and Northland Mall (the counterpart to Southland Mall, now named Promenade Mall). 36th St. N. is now left with many vacant buildings and razed properties. Consequently, the Hawthorne Neighborhood (along with most of north Tulsa) faces a serious lack of retail and services.
When Crossover Community Impact founded Crossover Development Company (CDC) in 2015, we discovered through a City of Tulsa economic gap analysis that roughly $250 million leaves north Tulsa every year. This economic leakage reveals more than just numbers—it reflects the heart of our community's struggle and our calling to respond with hope and action.
While Tulsa County has seen improvements with unemployment dropping to 3.3%, we recognize that 37.7% of our neighbors remain outside the labor force entirely. This reality, combined with the ongoing exodus of dollars from our community, highlights the urgent need for local retail, services, and economic opportunities that serve and employ our neighbors.
In the single-family residential neighborhood of Hawthorne, post-WWII homes are defined by their modest lot sizes and three-bedroom, one-bathroom single-story designs. When the CDC began its efforts in the area, approximately 10% of these homes were boarded up. To address this, the CDC focused on purchasing and renovating these properties, then selling them to individuals and families. Beyond revitalizing existing homes, the CDC is also dedicated to expanding housing options in Hawthorne. Their initiatives include adding extensions to existing homes, constructing new single-family houses, and introducing diverse housing types such as two-flats, three-flats, and townhouses to create the much-needed "missing middle" housing.
