    Maybe they meant 847 feet.

    They probably got the inside scoop and learned the final plan was not to reduce the height. But, then again, it is a report from the unreliable NewsOK. :-O It looks like Devon isn't attempting to at least do a sort of decoration on the crane or somewhere for Christmas. Was hoping they would do that.

    Default Devon tower to be 947'?

    In the article in this mornings DOK, Jay Marks says, near the end of the article that the new tower will be 947 ft. What's up with that?

    best guess = simple error

  6. Default Re: Devon tower to be 947'?

    You would think so, until the following sentence indicated it would be the tallest in the region. Steve, did this reporter let something slip or was it a mistake on behalf of the editor?

    It says almost halfway to it's ultimate height and it only stands at 340 feet right now.

    It also says 50-stories.

    I think the guy meant to write 847 not 947.

  8. Default Re: Devon Tower: Officially Under Construction

    The guy was me. I was very sick when they asked me to produce the info. Correcting it now. It's 850 feet high. The bad figure somehow got into an earlier story on archives, the error was never caught, and I simply pulled off the figure from the archives story. Sorry for the confusion.

    Its looks temporary to me. They can keep the bottom levels climate controlled during the winter until the rotunda is completed.

    You are spot on, that is densglass gold or another exterior sheathing product that will allow them to temporarily block off the open air unfinished section of the rotunda so that they can condition the space (heat) and regulate the humidity so that they can begin to install the flooring draywall, and finishes. Once the rotunda is complete they will tear down the temporary walls and open it back up to the rotunda as designed.

    Technically, Devon will become OKC's and OK's tallest "under construction" building then it will become the tallest "completed" building.

    Yes, whatever gene that causes a person to be OCD is turned "on" in me.

    Thank goodness, I was afraid the architects had been told to add a spire.

    This 947 feet height of the Devon Tower was probably an error which was reported in Sunday's paper; please correct me if I am wrong. Should have read 847 feet; which would make it smaller than Dallas' Bank of America Tower (915) and a couple building in Houston are probably taller. Had they originally kept the building at 925 feet it would have been taller than any of the skyscrapers in Dallas.

  20. Default Devon tower to be 947 feet???

    Did anyone see the small story about the progress on the tower yesterday in the Oklahoman? It stated that the tower is currently at 23 stories and 340 feet, and that it would stand at 947 feet when completed. I found that height to be interesting considering that the plan was for 850 feet. Any thoughts?

    The bottom photo of Kinggober's pictures (thanks by the way) shows framing being built in front of the vents (top of podium biulding). That is not shown in renderings of this area. Could this be a temporary in nature to work on something?
