Developer Richard Tanenbaum said he is aiming Liberty Pointe at people who will take some 1,600 jobs to be created in the area in coming months.

“We have been developing in this southeast quadrant since 2000. We know our customer and we are providing a wonderful residential opportunity to serve terrific folks that won't need to travel as far to be at home,” said Tanenbaum, who developed the Boeing, L3 Communications, Northrop Grumman properties and others near Tinker.

C.F. Jordan Construction, based in El Paso, Texas, is the builder. Comerica Bank in Dallas provided construction financing. Dallas-based Riverstone Residential Group will handle leasing and management.

Riverstone is ready to add Liberty Pointe to its management portfolio of suburban, high-profile apartment complexes, said Brian Whisnand, vice president. Riverstone manages apartments in the Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio areas of Texas, as well as Denver, Phoenix, Atlanta and Nashville, Tenn.
