About the Development
The backstory on Ponca City's newest neighborhood.
The Drake Property — a 23.5-acre parcel located between Bluestem and Homestead, and Kyme Drive and Mockingbird along North Pecan Road — was acquired by the City of Ponca City on December 31, 2025. The conceptual plat shows 77 residential lots with two interior streets, a central park, and a south detention area. It borders Deer Place to the north and Homestead North to the northeast.
This will be the first new subdivision built in Ponca City since 2008 — a landmark moment for a city that has been working hard to address a housing shortage that affects workforce retention, economic growth, and quality of life for current and future residents.
Housing Incentive Program (HIP 2.0): In June 2021, the Ponca City Utilities Authority re-established its Housing Incentive Program with $300,000 set aside to spur new construction, lot development, and residential rehabilitation. Qualified developers enter a formal agreement with PCUA outlining the scope of work and the financial incentives provided in return.
PCDA's $1 Million Commitment: The Ponca City Development Authority separately committed $1 million over three years to housing initiatives. A joint committee of PCDA trustees, community members, city commissioners, and staff has met monthly since November 2023 to tackle the shortage — and the PCDA trust was amended to allow housing development incentives that stack with HIP, giving developers even more reason to build here.
