Will This Oklahoma Tower Become the Tallest in the US? 

What do you think of this skyscraper and do you think it will be built as planned taking the title of tallest in the US?

It looks cool in Chicago

It looks cool and eccentric compared to the rest of Oklahoma City. I don't think it's gonna be built, but I really hope they do build it.

I think it looks way better in Chicago. It also looks like it could’ve been an alternate design for the 1WTC too.

It looks kinda cool tbh

I really hope it is built in OKC being from there I always want to see my city grow and have great things. Especially a super tall would be amazing. I am not holding my breath though. At this point I just hope the first phases get built as proposed.

I think this is great and I hope it gets built. It would put Oklahoma on the map

It will look completely ridiculous downtown Until the skyline gets built up, it is going to look like the city is giving the rest of the state the middle finger. Will they actually build it? I don't know. For people who think there is no demand for it -- that doesn't matter. Sounds strange, right? Back in the early 1980's, a Midwest city built a 60,000 seat dome stadium without having a football team. That gutsy move changed the city forever and put it on the map. I'm talking about Indianapolis. Before that stadium got built, Indy was a place you drove through to get somewhere better. It was Indianoplace. Naptown. OKC needs something to put it on the map. Something like this could. Something like this could jumpstart the market and turn this place into the next Austin. It is already one of the fastest growing cities in the country. Something like this could trigger an explosion of economic growth.

OKC should get a tower taller than the one in dubai next

Developer AO has already secured the $1.5 billion funding for the tower and complex. I`ll now be up to the OKC counsel to vote for it or not in June. I cannot see them voting against this. The construction will begin sometime in September.

I wish they would make it in Chicago. But! If this gets built, then it could start another skyscraper boom in the US and maybe we might be the kings of skyscrapers once again! 🙏

It's a bit generic design wise but I love the concept and I really hope it gets built especially to show the coastal elites that yes other cities do exist and are just as ambitious and fast growing perhaps even more so at current real estate prices.. And you wonder why Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and San Francisco continue to bleed residents to the exurban belt around them as well as other cheaper metro markets... The value for $ proposition just isn't there...

U really got me thinking of how much better da loop would look with a +340m tower. Funny how u chose the Thompson Center too (come on Google make this).

i think its much better to build this skyscraper in LA ,it would really fix its skyline cuz LA lacks a lot of supertall skyscrapers

yes

I'm just worried about the economics Even in NYC skyscrapers have ridiculously low density and zoning laws make it impossible to have anything other than offices Can Oklahoma fare better?

Bro we need this in Chicago

It looks good but why don't they want it in Oklahoma?

It's a proposal, sure, but does it have solid funding lined up? Will the local zoning be changed to allow it? Before those happen it's just pie in the sky. But I do like the design. Looks real good. Interesting location in Chicago IMO would be on top of a re-built joint all through-running Union-Oglive station. 4ish blocks from Sears, but across the river. For NYC... DT Brooklyn would make that a DT with two supertalls, quite a rare thing in the Americas. or Jersey City by the Grove Street PATH station?

I don’t think it’ll get built. I lived in Chicago and a building of that size makes sense; in Oklahoma City not so much. Downtown OKC has a small footprint and it will look comically out of place, plus the tornado alley and recent seismic activity makes it difficult and very expensive to build. Unlike NYC, Chicago or even Seattle, Oklahoma City doesn’t have the construction infrastructure for such a project. It’s a publicity stunt for the would be developer.

Molaría si lo hicieran

Where is the demand?

I hope they use roof height as the official height of that building not the the height with the antenna

If they're already building it, why not go to FAA limit of 2000 feet?

Reminds me of Tribune Tower East- shouldn’t that begin construction this month? Any update on that?

I thought it was cool until finding out the spire is the height and its in Oklahoma City lol.

Around how tall is it?

Is this Google Earth?

Should have added the Oklahoma City skyline in the last five seconds of this video for laughs. I think it looks best in Chicago But you did give me a laugh putting it in Dubai. Nothing against Dubai. But their skyline seems so false and fake compared to what’s around all the tall buildings. No infill.

With it being so ridiculously tall and most of Oklahoma City’s skyscrapers being around a height of less than 1,000 feet, it really doesn’t fit there. It would fit perfectly in any city with skyscrapers well high above 1,000 feet, like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, or Los Angeles. Hell, even in a city that’s not in the US, like Toronto (which would make it the tallest structure in the city, as well as all of Canada, surpassing the CN Tower)

I don’t care where it is development is development

i doubt it will get built there OKC is a sad and small looking city i doubt the demand is there for it

Por culpa de George w bush ya no están las torres gemelas
