Those aren’t houses going up at 420 E Britton Road, but home builders are involved in the project from the ground up.

It’s the Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association’s new headquarters.

Delays slowed the project, the last one a four-month stall for the wintriest winter in memory.

But more good than bad has come the builders’ way in the three-plus years since Chesapeake Energy Corp. bought their previous office building and banquet hall at 625 W Interstate 44 Service Road.

It started with the sale to Chesapeake, said Mark Dale, owner of Carriage Homes and association president. The 16,874-square-foot building and parking lot fetched a good price, he said. Chesapeake paid $5.5 million for the property, which the builders had owned since 1960, county records show.

"Other than the hard time coming out of the ground, we have really been pretty charmed in this whole process, at least in terms of the numbers,” Dale said in a recent weekly memo to association members.
