    Thank You UnFrSaKn...your video took me up there to see it all just like I was there! Spectacular! Great Video and great everything! Make plans for a trip to the Kodak Theater on Hollywood Boulevard--and work on the acceptance speech...this is Academy-Award-winning material...from my perspective. Thanks for letting me ride along...

    On the way home from downtown I was passed by a tractor trailer at Reno and Hudson carrying two tower crane segments. Should be soon then that at least one will climb.

    Thanks for the monthly time-lapses MadMonk...they are great--particularly with some night shots thrown in as well. This forum IS the best one I know of--on any subject. Everyone on it seems to have a great interest in the subject and it runs from young to old...with minimal screeds--which can easily be found on other threads--where they belong. I suppose it is like being a kid again and having a great skyscraper go up right out your apartment window...and being able to just sit and watch anytime you want. Now THAT is something. Add to that...the ancillary additions of time-lapses and video and candid shots...once Big Gene is able to throw in a few aerial shots...well...that will be damn near perfection. Thanks to all.

    UnFrSaKn, fantastic video! I can't wait til the tower is so high that you'll have to lay on the ground to get a skyward shot walking around the block, lol. I think (just incase you uploaded this or future videos to websites like skyscraperpage) that you should also film The Underground so outsiders will see where all the people are at...

    MadMonk, thanks for the timelapse. I watched the tower and then I watched it again, to watch the podium going up! I also enjoyed the 'musical cars' in their assigned parking spots. Whoever drives that red car is a loyal employee!

    I think Big Gene's crane is going up. It looks like #1 has a segment of the crane right now...

The chase building looks shorter than the 500ft in this rendering because it is set back further. The current height of the construction is also marked with red.
    I wish OKC had the BOK, nice tower......

    What a neat visual architect5311! That would really bring it all together if we had BOK just where you put it. Guess something would have had to go to do that. No more of that please! but still looks like it should be there.

    I'm sure we can have it arranged to be moved here if you let us know about the mystery building in that rendering of yours we are all so fixated on!

  17. Default Re: Devon Tower: Officially Under Construction

    I would like to see someone in OKC to buy the Space Needle in Seattle and relocate to here...next to the new Devon tower. With that... OKC skyline will be complete.

    Kerry are you out there?

    I was traveling last week to/from Savannah and on the flight into Atlanta I noticed a grouping of highrises north of the CBD, what is the area? The area appeared larger than OKC CBD and much taller as well....just curious.

    I think the new SkyDance Bridge over the new I-40 will be a start...I agree with you that a nice iconic tower would be distinctive...some sort of stylized oil-derrick-like tower would be a nice and appropriate idea...and not horribly expensive to do, comparatively speaking...every city needs something that you don't see anywhere else.

    BTW--does anyone know what is going on with the marvelous Ferris Wheel that was on the Santa Monica Pier that was bought by someone and brought to OKC...what is going to become of it? Belongs on the south end of Core-to-Shore by the River--I think...

    We did have plans for a mega oil derrick tower..... I guess it all fell through. >_<
