Thread: First National Center

    Dang, looks like a total loss. Time to tear the whole thing down. Would be the perfect spot for a big grass patch.

    The building was completely dark last night, super creepy looking.

    Is the window above where one of the fires happened?

    The limestone fell from the 22nd story, and the fire was on the 26th story (the smoke residue is visible).

    Makes me wonder if any water coming out of that window and flowing down that side could have been a factor as well.

    You spelled parking garage wrong.

    We've been flying since Monday at sunrise. We're providing close-up imagery plus comparisons to baseline shots from one and two years ago when we imaged the tower, east and central portions of the building. And we also flew nine weeks ago as they were fighting the fire four floors above. We're very familiar with this landmark!

    Lacey Lett at KFOR just sent me this... Robinson has been re-opened and there is now scaffolding protecting the walkways around First National.

    Scaffolding protected sidewalks? In OKC?

    A protected pedestrian walkway in OKC? That's a rare sight indeed.

    LOVE IT! (Though I'll love it even more when chunks of the facade stop falling off...)

    There is also one in front of Brent Swift's condos at 6th and Hudson! Progress..

    scaffolding should be a requirement for any construction/reconstruction in the downtown area on any multi-floor building above 3 floors.

    Is what they have as cover on the scaffolding sufficient enough to stop limestone blocks falling from 20+ floors above?

    I was impressed that Gary Brooks, in addition to covering the losses of the restaurants that had to close during the "limestone incident," has been encouraging people to patronize these business all week over social media. While this is how I would like to see all developers/business owners operate and I'm sure he's at least partially doing this to mitigate the risk of unhappy neighbors, it's still nice to see it in action.

    Gary Brooks just posted this on Twitter.

    Looks like the latest plan is to put a bar right in the middle of the Great Banking Hall.

    I'm very interested to see how that space is going to look with the skylight restored.

    Just no substitute for natural light.

    Yeah even as awesome as that space is, it always looked so muted and dull in there with that ugly artificial light. That skylight being properly utilized should make a world of difference both during the day and at night.

    Yes, 85 years later FNB will once again be primed to take a lot of your money.... just now with no intention of ever giving it back.

    This is a transformative project. If I were to move downtown, I believe this would be my top choice. I've tried to find information on the residential plans for First National on cornerstonedelivers.com, but no luck. Does anyone know the amenities and price range planned for the residential?

    You should reach out directly to Gary Brooks. Send him a message through Twitter.
