Discover The Lark: A New Way to Live in Downtown Edmond
Mauricio Umansky from The Agency visiting The Lark in Downtown Edmond, Oklahoma
Nestled just one block west of Broadway and Hurd, The Lark is the latest downtown living concept crafted by local visionary developer Matthew Myers and his firm Switchgrass Capital. Built around the idea of the “loveliness of less,” The Lark offers 39 luxury cottages with 1–3 bedrooms, combining elegance, convenience, and community in a tranquil urban pocket (Edmond Outlook, Switchgrass Capital).
The Visionary Behind It: Matthew Myers
Matthew Myers, who temporarily lived downtown in 2018, fell in love with Edmond’s walkability and energy. He shifted his focus entirely to downtown development, forming Switchgrass Capital and making Edmond his home base. The Lark was his first major project—and only the beginning of five upcoming community-forward infill developments (Edmond Outlook, Edmond Lark).
