View Full Version : BOK Park Plaza
OKCRT 11-21-2016, 05:10 PM Am I counting 20 floors with the bottom included? So 7 floors left?
About as much as the windowless area still to go it appears.. Are they going to put a tall crown on top? Lets squeeze all we can out of this.
s00nr1 11-21-2016, 09:24 PM You can see they are starting to finish off the skywalk across Hudson.

Even worse than I was picturing after the initial designs. Such a shame.
Plutonic Panda 11-21-2016, 09:25 PM Even worse than I was picturing after the initial designs. Such a shame.Why? It hasn't even been finished yet.
_Kyle 11-25-2016, 09:15 PM Top seems to have a crown hopefully they will have L.E.Ds. Like the inlets of Devon!
I Hope so too

honestly, it appears that the skywalk is adding the 'appearance' of density to Hudson. I'm starting to think this may not actually be as bad as I was thinking.

What is bad about it? Should look pretty cool once it gets glassed in.

Agree......Also, what floor are they working on now?
s00nr1 11-30-2016, 08:42 AM A good read this morning on Minneapolis' skywalks:
https://nextcity.org/daily/entry/minneapolis-skyways-plan-future
A conversation was sparked. “Is downtown Minneapolis a good environment for investment right now? Do the skyways create structural headwind for retail in downtown Minneapolis?” Dayton asks. “I would argue that it does. As long as they’re in place, that makes me unfortunately not inclined to invest downtown.”
Bellaboo 12-01-2016, 11:34 AM Agree......Also, what floor are they working on now?
Floor 22.
_Kyle 12-01-2016, 09:46 PM Does Anybody have pictures of what the building looks like currently? I Haven`t been downtown for about a week to see it?

The same as it did a week ago, lol.

Possibly to tie in with some of the art deco in the area ?

I think it's to tie in with the parking garages in the area......
Bellaboo 12-14-2016, 03:39 PM To me, it resembles the City owned offices to the West. Check out picture #13 in post number 1.
Holy cow, these panels going up do not look good at this point. Kind of a dirty brown while everything else is glass/steel/silver/gray:

OKCisOK4me 12-14-2016, 05:02 PM They look like the old AT&T building.

Does anyone know how many floors have they completed; they should be ready to top the project off with a crown.
http://cdn2.newsok.biz/cache/lead630-52765a1b7ed64743f63556757afa035e.jpg
They are finishing up 23 of 27, plus there will be a 3-story crown.

G.Walker 12-26-2016, 01:41 PM From yesterday, the top floor that is half finished is the 24th floor!

Sure hope these garage panels look better when complete... Now, they look like these super cheap plastic pieces that don't fit together very well and are a weird brown/tan color.

turnpup 12-27-2016, 08:21 PM Yeah, we were riding our bicycles past those a couple of days ago and I was trying, *trying*, to find some artistic merit in them, but it didn't happen at the time.

Exactly what first came to mind.
2Lanez 12-29-2016, 03:55 PM Me too. And that's not a compliment.
You can see that the panels seem to be slightly irregular and don't present as a uniform, solid surface but rather a bunch of different pieces of plastic all stuck together.
Hopefully it looks better once finished.
Bellaboo 12-30-2016, 08:24 AM Topping out in a few months -

I believe they're sprinklers. Why they're not underground is beyond me.

Yes, they are just sprinkler lines.
Just a quick, cheap way of getting the grass and trees some water.
This was supposed to be a 'park'.

27 inhabitable floors plus the crown which will add another 30 feet or so.
