Oooohhhh.... the balcony. I used to go up to that top floor occasionally when it was a company dining room area. I had no problems with the height standing by the big windows, but through the kitchen was THE DOOR. And even though I knew that door would be locked, I could not bring myself to go near it. Start gettin shakey just being within 10 feet of it. No way would I go out on that balcony. That's for crazy people!

You probably aren't buying enough tickets.

Oh, I don't buy in the plural, that would be gambling <smirk>.

But once every 4-6 weeks when I'm in a c-store getting a soda, I'll go ahead and lay down a tiny donation for the lotto agency and education, I have a heart for the kids of course.

Now, should some great number generator in the sky ever decide to bless such a statistically insignificant gift umpteen gazillion times over ... well, who am I to question a random act of kindness. And well, those views are pretty sweet, even to someone like me whose head still yearns a bit for the rural life.

It might not be rural OKC, but you can see it from up there.

Two new building permits to renovate floors 12 & 13; each for $483,000.

I suspect this is a new tenant moving in but don't know who it would be. Maybe more space for SandRidge?

think so

think so

Think so - new tenant or Sandridge or both?

Yes...LOL

I think Steve meant SandRidge.

Flogistix is on the 22nd floor and have out grown it. They said that they are looking at buying another floor there. The bought a floor last year but built it out for their corporate headquarters instead of living space. Another company, CTAP Colorado Aztec Tubular Piping has a temporary office at Flogistix and was lookibng at afloor in that building as well.

I wish First National got the kind of care and attention City Place has gotten over the years.

Looking at Land Sales in the DOK, I noticed the Tannenbaums bought one of the apartments, but based on price, it was not the penthouse. I wonder how many are sold. I'd heard they've all sold, but haven't really been paying attention.

I work for Globe (now in Mckinney), that 32nd floor we used for Corporate lounge, meetings etc... nice space !



Really? I thought the parent company was based in McKinney. The Globe Life website still lists OKC as the home office. Sorry to get off topic................


OKC is still officially the HQ - but some departments have moved to McKinney (where the parent company, Torchmark,is located). Globe still leases 3 floors at City Place - so I'm surprised not listed as tenant. I worked in this building for about 5 or 6 years - I hope they're able to preserve all the woodwork on the 14th floor - I think some of that was original. Globe Life also has a large facility at 122nd & Santa Fe.

The City Place condos are now all sold except one; the large unit that spans the top two floors.

Mark Beffort and Dick Tanenbaum have recently bought in, joining other notables such as Meg Salyer and Cliff Hudson.

by bought in you mean each of these individuals owns a $3M penthouse?

There are seven floors of condos; each taking a full floor except the very top until which actually spans two floors (32 & 33) and remains unsold.

So, there are six units and only the top one is still for sale.

Damn those must be nice... Any pics?

$650 per sq ft furnished penthouse. I don't know of any other place in OKC (or OK?) more expensive.

Damn those must be nice... Any pics?

Couple in the article at top of the page.

That's the $3.7 million two-floor penthouse which is being sold fully furnished.

Damn those must be nice... Any pics?

The unsold one is pretty cool. I took a few photos but can't find them now. Lots of space yet IIRC one or two of the bedrooms seemed rather small. Pretty nice digs overall though and the view is very nice.

Awesome! Would be cool to see them. I wonder if they would show me it even though I can't buy it. Probably not, but wouldn't hurt to ask I suppose.

I got to see it on the 2011 Architecture Tour. Knocked my socks off.

A running ledger for leasehold improvements downtown may not be a bad idea

Did the penthouse ever sell?

According to the MLS it didn't.

Is there a listing? I would love to see photos.

This link posted earlier in the thread has a video of the penthouse giving great views.

LIGHTING:

a little change of topic but I love the new signage UMB has up on City Place tower!

Now waiting on Sandridge as the last major tower not to have any significant lighting on top. I don't mind and actually LIKE Cotter Ranch Tower's aviation beacons (just maybe wish the beacons were taller so they'd be more visible kind-of like Devon's). but Sandridge is the last dark, dark, and is the last major downtown skyscraper now that UMB is lit and FNC beacon is lit (and will become much better).
