The once‑humming Chesapeake Energy campus at NW 63rd and N Western Avenue is getting a second act. After years of limbo, Robinson Park is repositioning the sprawling site and has slapped a fresh name on the west half of the property: The Peake. With built‑in amenities and a hefty legacy, the developer is pitching the campus as prime territory for new office tenants, retail and housing.
The company quietly rolled out the news on its own channels, unveiling The Peake as a multi‑building campus ready for retenanting, according to Robinson Park. Alongside the announcement, the firm launched a project website with a coming‑soon splash page aimed at drawing in prospective renters and partners.
The deal officially closed on Dec. 31, 2025, when Robinson Park bought the west half of the former Expand Energy campus and signaled an initial emphasis on office space, even as longer‑range plans call for housing, restaurants and additional retail, as reported by The Oklahoman. Company leaders say the property can take on tenants right away while broader redevelopment decisions get sorted out in the background.
Robinson Park CEO Mark Beffort has outlined plans to create a property association using two of the campus’s 14 buildings, with the remaining structures to be sold or leased, according to News 9. Beffort has also talked up the site’s size and reach, saying multiple companies that are considering moves to Oklahoma City could ultimately land at The Peake.
Back when it served as Chesapeake’s headquarters, the campus hosted thousands of workers and came loaded with perks: the Creekside restaurant, an auditorium, conference facilities, a large fitness center and both surface and underground parking, The Oklahoman notes. Those existing common areas are now a key part of Robinson Park’s sales pitch, offering would‑be buyers or tenants a ready‑made campus instead of a bare‑bones office building.
Data center draws AI attention
One corner of the broader property has already found a new identity. Earlier in 2025, the campus’s data center was sold and has since turned into a magnet for AI infrastructure; operators including Scale Datacenter and chipmaker Cerebras have installed large clusters inside the facility, as reported by DataCenterDynamics. While that tech‑heavy hub powers away on its own track, Robinson Park is focused on waking up the surrounding office and retail buildings.
What’s next for tenants and the neighborhood
To fill all that space, Robinson Park has brought in Cushman & Wakefield to lead leasing and plans to market suites across the campus, while a handful of state tenants — Service Oklahoma and the Attorney General’s office — stay put through the transition, according to the developer’s materials and local reporting. News 9 reports that showings and leasing outreach are already underway, with sales or leases expected for many of the buildings.
Whether The Peake truly comes back to life will hinge on Robinson Park’s ability to translate the campus’s size and amenities into modern commercial and residential demand. For now, the developer’s project page notes the site is being repositioned and invites interested tenants to register as plans evolve at The Peake.
