HAHA, nice.

When will we see the article that kept him up so late?

Wonder if OKC was ever in the race to be the new home for Metlife?

MetLife to move 2,600 jobs to NC from NE, Calif. | News OK (http://newsok.com/metlife-to-move-2600-jobs-to-nc-from-ne-calif./article/feed/510210)

Sooooooooo.......nuthin'?

Sooooooooo.......nuthin'?

So far, no.

Y'all are falling for hook line and sinker... Let's all have wet dreams after April 5th, lol.

It must be getting really close. Steve has been hinting at it a lot lately.

From today's chat with Steve Lackmeyer:


Good Morning Steve, To the point, in your opinion, will the tower at Stage Center exceed 30 floors ? Thanks

NewsOK: Magic 8 Ball says: "Outlook is good." Magic 8 Ball is feeling chipper today.

It's safe to say, if and when it happens, it will change the skyline.

Sounds like Steve is behind the 8 Ball.

I would be really happy with anything over 30 floors, as with today's modern floor heights, even a 30 story building would be taller than Chase.

40 floors would be really sweet and help bridge the big cap between the older buildings and Devon.

I'm kind of wondering, if it is ConocoPhillips, If it will be more of a relocation for the firms assests in Bartlesville ?

Just a thought.

Sid,

Obviously you misse the entire point. I guess I will troll elsewhere. I'll let you go back to your tree hugging dope smoking, confiscation of other people's property.

This is BS!

So your idea of freedom involves prohibitions on the substances people put in their own bodies, but land use being sacred?

Twisted, but it's a free country!

I don't know about Steve, but as a reader the mystery tower questions are starting to get old.

I agree. I'm tired of hearing about the whole subject until some more concrete news comes out. Speculation, rumors, and teases are only fun for so long....

I'm sure it gets old for him if it does for us. While I am very interested in any new information, it does get a bit tiresome to read the same questions and the same answers every week.

That said - Assuming he has control over which questions appear and which don't, I noticed Steve will sometimes let through questions about the tower that he doesn't answer. Today someone asked if it was a Texas company associated with a new tower and as far as I can tell he didn't respond to it.

Could be meaningless though. :p

Kind of the title for this thread isn't it ? Not sure if anyone is making anybody look at this thread ... LOL

You're absolutely right, but I definitely see Catch's and Brew's point. It's become very annoying and tiresome at this point. Same questions, same answers, every single week.

Oh I agree.......but today, he more or less revealed that it'll be very sizeable, in excess of 30 stories.

Definitely not saying this thread hasn't been fun to read and participate in, it's just the topic in general is getting worn out with little new solid information.

There has been LOTS of new information:

1. An announcement of a new tower is likely within the next 30 days
2. Will probably involve the Stage Center site
3. Is not Continental, Devon or OG&E -- likely an outside company
4. The three mentioned above are still likely to build as well and we'll probably see another announcement this year

^ What Pete said.

And don't forget, there's the giant taco tower with flowing salsa fountains coming too!
:wink:

Forgot to add that it sounds like the Stage Center tower will be at least 30 stories.

Now that's a project we can all get excited about.

This has almost certainly been mentioned here (I just don't want to look back page through page), but does anyone have any idea how tall the new CC will be?

Perhaps ESPN? ;)

I don't think a company with only 22 likes and two head men wearing t-shirts are gonna build a 30+ story tower, lol. But it was a nice attempt ;-)

i don't know about steve, but as a reader the mystery tower questions are starting to get old.

yes!

yes!

So let me follow up with another one then. :)

On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being KD's new restaurant and 10 being Devon Tower, how excited are you?

Maybe Aubrey is continuing his love for real estate and is building a condo high rise

No deal is done. I won't get excited until a deal is done.

Dang you, Steve.

No deal is done. I won't get excited until a deal is done.

Steve, if something falls through on the stage center site, does this company have backup locations or is this an all or nothing type deal?

I think at this point in time it is best for us to sit back, relax and let this deal run its course. In the meantime, we have bigger fish to fry, like the implementation of MAPS 3 and keeping an eye on Project 180.

We simply aren't going to hear anything until all parties involved are sure. I quote Richard Dreyfuss in 'Jaws'. "Look, I want to be sure, you want to be sure. We all want to be sure."

Keep your eyes on the Stage Center site - that's the key to everything right now.

Oh...my...gosh...what else?


Hello,

My name is Thundercitizen,
I'm a mystery towerholic.

Oy, he's cryptically scripting quatrains again! :eek:

"11:41 a.m. Will this supposed new tower result in more new jobs to okc?

NewsOK 11:41 a.m. no and yes"

This one throws me a bit........................Does this mean it's a local relocation ? Initially 'NO' to new jobs in OKC, then 'YES' as if it will grow and hire.

Yea that one had me wondering too, the only other thing that a local relocation I was thinking it could imply was that it was moving more existing jobs to OKC like Boeing's recent relocation where there may not be new job openings

I think you may have it with this. Jobs will be relocated from elsewhere, and if some folks do not relocate, then jobs will be created, or the company is in the process of expanding.

Actually I think Steve was responding to two questions at once. The question before that was something else.

Hoya is correct.

Keep your eyes on the Stage Center site - that's the key to everything right now.

To me, this indicates that the Stage Center site is the target of the first actor. Others are waiting to see what they do. Like the NBA draft, you get an idea of who you want but you can't finalize it until Portland officially passes up Michael Jordan/Kevin Durant. Like I said earlier, I think Continental Resources has their sights set across the street from Stage Center where the Lunch Box sits. That would be my guess. But they won't make any move until they know for sure what this new company is going to do.

It is like this - but more complicated

Hoya is correct.

Perhaps Steve is saying that a local company will be building the tower and not necessarily bringing new jobs. However, there will be new jobs created through construction of the tower.

Steve clarified it in post 3184 that it is YES to new jobs to OKC.

The answer to that question is obviously yes as towers take a lot of construction workers to build.

True, but I believe the reference was to a company that would fill the tower would be bringing or creating jobs in OKC.

This is the way I took it when I first read it.

I'm going to be out of town on vacation from March 23rd until March 30th with little access to internet. I demand that no announcements take place during that time.

On the contrary, I will be in Oklahoma City all week this week, so I will be picking up a copy of The Oklahoman each morning looking for a possible announcement. Either way, I love having my old routine back any time I am in town (trip to 7-Eleven each morning for the paper and coffee).

Well hey, that's all part of the fun coming back isn't it? Come to see a new sky scraper being born? lol ;)

Nope, I want to be here when it happens. I want to be the first on OKC Talk to criticize it. LOL
