Great pictures... the height is nearly that of Chase!

Imagine, however, if the building was to stop at this height... it would still be a major addition to the skyline... but it would add to the "squaty" look that we've always had... I think it's great that it will be so much taller even if it does "look out of place" as some would suggest.

I was just thinking that. Nashville has that look (minus the ATT building). It looks like it was built by the Soviets.

Nice shots TC. I particularly like the one third from the bottom. Kinda makes you wish they (OG&E) would put their lines underground. Shots of downtown would be so much nicer.

Exactly my thoughts...way too much overhead visual clutter from most angles. I know it costs a little more up front, but I wish they'd go underground. There is hope with all the new construction.

Anyone planning on changing this picture later this year?

Tulsans would cry fowl, but it's not as if Williams is a major player anymore. Not remotely.

There are a plethora of AWESOME photos of the tower on flickr! Just type "Devon Tower" and view most recent! I was on there for a good hour looking at them all.

This is a view from the top of the boathouse row finish line tower taken several weeks ago...

The view from the new grandstand (facing this same direction) is going to be fantastic, especially once the utility lines are moved in the near future.

Still can't wait to see a dusk photo of all the bouthouses lit up in neon with our skyline behind.

^^ Best skyline view I have seen in awhile. This viewpoint may be the new signature view of downtown Okc.

I've lived within 5 miles of downtown most of my life. Waiting for food inside a restaurant, I glanced over towards downtown and could make out the skyline over another restaurant sign and trees and I was so proud of the progress. You really can see the impact from just about everywhere. Up until now, the skyline became just another ordinary thing you don't even notice, although it's usually visible. I've always been on the south/southest side so it's the same view from my videos and the one from the river.

At 30 Floors it is pretty exciting to realize that we have only 20 more floors to go. Additionally in 6 more floors we will exceed the floor count history for OKC! The only record this building will still leave to Tulsa will be greatest number of floors with Williams tower topping out at 52 floors. I guess we can leave that to the next tower of significance that will be built in Okc. I dream that it will consist of a two tower solution with one being dedicated to Hotel and Residence tower, and the main tower being some serious class A office w/ a nice corporate anchor tennant and plenty of room for additional corporations and or smaller companies to locate to and make a home in Okc. Exciting times to be had for sure!

My company MD Building Products will be making parts for the atrium. Extruded aluminum and some fabrication of some sort. I do not have a clue what the pieces will do or even where they will be located in the atrium.

Unofficially, the tower is already equal to or higher than the Chase Tower perceived by the thousands of citizens traveling nearby. I can see it on 29th in Del City being so super bright. It is very much like the guiding light from heaven afar.

It does appear taller from the distance than the chase building from either side of town.

Just curious, but I wonder if it would be possible to redo/refurbish the exterior of the First National Building? It so dingy looking!

That's exactly where I was when I looked. I was getting something to eat.

Pretty sure the building on ORU's campus in Tulsa is 70 stories...

Cityplex Tower - 60 floors, 648 feet in height

[Thunder]

Driving away from Crest on Reno, the Devon Tower really do stand out of the skyline!!! Then it appears again across city line into Del City (after all those trees), the Devon Tower!!! I got a nice HDD video camera today and its such a perfect day to go out there, but I'm very sleepy now. Still, I have to learn how to play with this gadget.

Cityplex Tower - 60 floors, 648 feet in height

Ok, well either way the 52 stories @heart was saying dor the tallest is wrong. Thanks for clarifying us though.

[OKC@heart]

Thanks for the correction I forgot about Cityplex

[UnFrSaKn]

Do some people forget there's a way to search all of human knowledge at the blink of an eye?

I got tricked. I looked online for reviews, it is actually SD. I dunno why it has HDD on it. Panasonic SDR-H85 showing 80 GB (HDD) and was told its High Digital Definition. :-( Its really SD and I wanted to do a nice video on this tower.
