Is this a serious proposal, or one of those proposals where a developer who has zero history of actually getting projects off the ground tries to make a splash with an outlandish proposal?
|
I could rather imagine that this project will not be built. In New York, I could very well imagine the project on Hudson Yards Phase Two. But in Oklahoma City, a city with a low skyline, not so much.
|
Something big is going there but i doubt its gonna be anywhere near that tall
|
Seems pretty ambitious.

lol. Imagine if the tallest building in the US ends up in friggen Oklahoma City.
|
Wow, this is huge! :)
|
I love how it overshadows OKC's tallest building which is already a monolith.
|
US could pull a building like this but why in OKC? I guess they want to put themselves on the map like Monterrey. ;)
Better in NY or Chicago though. Quote:

Also, why not top 1WTC? |

Oklahoma City needs to build up an actual urban downtown (and surrounding) area. It doesn't even need any more buildings over like 300' tall (we're talking less than 100 meters) until it gets significantly more developed on the ground. Devon already looks incredibly out of place and this is literally more than double the height of that. This complex would make about as much sense on a farm in the middle of Central Vermont as it makes here.

The odds are probably not in favor of this getting built. But we need people thinking and dreaming big again. The funny thing is, I didn’t even realize this was a supertall proposal at first, focused instead on the rendering at ground level.
It’s a phased development, so even if they did get around to buildibg it, it probably wouldn’t loom like what’s shown in the rendering. https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news...g/71958934007/ Who will pay for this proposed OKC tower? Could it handle Oklahoma tornadoes? What we know Jana Hayes Steve Lackmeyer December 18, 2023 Quote:

I actually don't mind the Devon Tower. I can see why people hate it because it sticks out like a sore thumb, but at least that tower is somewhat close to the downtown core buildings. This thing is really not surrounded by anything, so it will look way out of place.

The US federal government spent roughly $200B (inflation adjusted) of taxpayer money on the Apollo Program. The US federal government does not fund skyscraper development. In America, if it don't make money, it don't get built. We've been over this hundreds of times now. |
goddamn okc is a bleak looking place
|
Would love to see this get built. Devon is already imposing when driving into the city.
|
Big dream. Fun times for OKC skyscraper enthusiasts.
