It is a simple thing...just remember that number--1,032. Think of it as black helicopters, raving lunacy, giggly stuff for teenage not-it-alls...just simply write it down on a piece of paper and keep it in a book somewhere. I mean--how hard is that?

Is that how many times you will tell us the tower will be taller than 850 feet? :poke:

Just sharing a moment I had with a OUIJA Board recently--nothing more. Do what you wish with it...soothing eyes with Refresh Lubricant Eye Drops... Time will tell...won't it.

Was driving on I-44 at 5:44pm this evening as I crossed over I-40 I looked to the east and DT was reflecting the setting sunlight like a huge mirror glowing orange...it really was spectacular oy I wished I had my camera...

Thanks!

Sorry that I stole your spot, lol.

I really love the skyline from this position, Devon Tower fits in perfectly!

Two pics, same angle, yesterday after working the bridal show at the Cox Convention Center. I fear I'll have to lay on the ground to get a final height shot!

I took this today while traffic on I-40 was a little backed up, so I was stopping for several seconds.

I also took another drive-by video last week and I will get around to posting it soon.

There are a plethora of AWESOME photos of the tower on flickr! Just type "Devon Tower" and view most recent! I was on there for a good hour looking at them all.

I drive by Devon Tower everyday on my way to work, and the bigger it gets, the more it makes the rest of downtown look like crap...its going to show how out of place it will be...its massive, pics don't do it justice...

Hopefully, our professional team(s) don't get like theirs!

Yes, I drive directly past it everyday, and it looks 10 x bigger in person, now you can start to realize the true scale of it, pics, model, etc...doesn't give you that, I hope we build another tower soon to compliment it, because we are going to need it!

Especially if it is 1032 feet as been suggested.

The window installers might have to slow down a bit. They are only a few floors below the netting now.

Thunder, is this you?

It is indeed a monster and I hope it will raise the bar for other future projects.

And once I-40 is moved, it won't stand out quite as much.

If Devon Tower reaches 1032 ft, it would be the tallest west of the Mississippi, outside of LA, I believe. Hope that is not a rumor.:)

This number is from jmarkross's ouija (weejee) board so believe if you'd like.

It hasn't been raised to staus of 'rumor' of yet.

Maybe they (on the other side) meant 5320. They're not always right on the money when conveying their messages...

Its probably been mentioned, (as I haven't read all 161 pages) but the thing that really freaks me out is thinking about that guy that climbs up the ladder to the control cab of that crane. Talk about being way out there, and up there. I don't know if I could do that. Especially when it is about 20 degrees with a 20 mph wind. And, what do you do when you need to take a restroom break because of all the hot coffee you are drinking to keep warm. Quite a trip for a restroom break. Just thinking.

Uhhhh... You know the bottle thingy the hospitals have where you pee into it. That is what they have up there.

Lets mix rumors, the signs mean Devon Tower will reach 5320 ft

I know about the bottle thingy. I was just making a point about how high that thing is. But on another thought...who would want to climb down with a few bottles full? Anyway, that crane is huge. And it will just keep getting higher and higher. It fascinates me really. The operator definitely has the best view. An office with a view.

Lets mix rumors, the signs mean Devon Tower will reach 5320 ft

Oh Man! If only that were physically possible.

Anyone planning on changing this picture later this year?

i believe that devon tower will surpass BOK tower in height next month. i'm sure somebody will change the pic as soon as that happens.

Oh Man! If only that were physically possible.

Honestly to some extent I don't care for all the talk about changing wikipedia pages on here...just because we don't need people who are completely inexperienced as far as edits and so forth frequently going and making changes...

I do think if we have any users on here that are regular contributors though, it would be fine.

5000+ ft.???? That's insane! The base of the tower would have to encompass a whole city.

That's double the height of Burj Khalifa which is 2,717ft. It takes more and more pumping power to get the concrete up to those heights.

A 5000+ tower would look totally out of place in Oklahoma City...

The modern Tower of Babel??

Well, at least we are bringing attention to the OKC page. It is important that someone thoroughly updates that page. I'm not sure why the Chamber wouldn't just have someone do it... Or maybe even Steve?

Or anywhere, but I'd take it if someone wanted to build itnhere, talk about a tourist attraction.

It appears they've started applying the glass exterior on the North side of the Garden Wing. Here's a shot along the North side between the Garden Wing and the Devon garage:

Wow great pics Thundercitizen. My favorite is the second to last one. For a second I couldn't even tell it was in OKC.

Nice TC, Thanks!

Great pics! looks like they are starting the 30th floor. By my calculations the tower is 471' (6x21+23x15) so 2 more floors and it will become the tallest in okc by february 10th! Someone please correct me if I used innaccurate numbers.

Here's the same part of the Garden Wing that I uploaded a picture of yesterday. You can see how much glass they add in a day.

Great pictures... the height is nearly that of Chase!

Imagine, however, if the building was to stop at this height... it would still be a major addition to the skyline... but it would add to the "squaty" look that we've always had... I think it's great that it will be so much taller even if it does "look out of place" as some would suggest.

I was just thinking that. Nashville has that look (minus the ATT building). It looks like it was built by the Soviets.

Nice shots TC. I particularly like the one third from the bottom. Kinda makes you wish they (OG&E) would put their lines underground. Shots of downtown would be so much nicer.

There is hope with all the new construction.

This is a view from the top of the boathouse row finish line tower taken several weeks ago...

The view from the new grandstand (facing this same direction) is going to be fantastic, especially once the utility lines are moved in the near future.

Still can't wait to see a dusk photo of all the bouthouses lit up in neon with our skyline behind.
