    This place must get tons of business. There's always people going in and out, workers crossing the street when I'm down there.

    Old Black Hotel by the way.

    It should top out in August at this rate. Not sure how much the tapering at the top will slow things down though.

    Floors 7 thru 46(?) are 14'-8" floor to floor...

    The taper begins at the 37th floor, approx. 5-6 weeks away...

    Currently working on 32nd floor, throw in the core height and it's close to 500'...

    Should surpass BOK in 12 weeks at 1 floor per week...

    Mid-Continent is only 516 feet. Devon Tower can move up to third tallest in Oklahoma in about two weeks.

    I have to say it's kind of a shame to me that the Lunch Box is raking in so much business.

    I used to love that place until me and my co-workers got *attacked* by cockroaches one day....

    Never going back.

    Wow! My home town is really growing up. Didn't realize until now WHAT an impact the Devon tower would make on the overall 'feeling' of downtown. This shot looks like a busy section of Toronto, NYC or Chicago. Impressive.

    Looks great! Could you add these buildings for additional reference: The Chrysler Building, the new NYTimes building?

    This would be an great shot if you were above the fog, looking down. It's catching the sun over the fog.

    Just happened to be watching Mega Disasters: Oil Apocalypse on History and they mention Devon and their oil platforms about 45 min into the program. It's old though, by the look of the former Devon logo. Comes back on at 4pm.

    OKLAHOMA CITY – The Devon Energy world headquarters tower will officially be the tallest building in the city when workers pour the foundation for the 33rd floor in the next few weeks.

    The project is set to reach its peak employment level at about the same time, with approximately 1,000 workers on-site each day. Building crews recently started doing interior construction and electrical work on the lower floors of the 50-story tower.

    “The tower almost becomes a timeline of construction, with the completed construction at the bottom and as you look up, you almost go back in time,” said John Wood, vice president at Hines, the developer for the Devon tower.

    The building gains about one story every five days. Columns of reinforced steel on the structure stretch up to the 32nd floor this week and workers have just laid the foundation for the 31st floor.

    An average of 900 workers are employed at the $750 million construction site each day.
    Construction on the tower was briefly held up by the recent snowstorms, but weather over the past several months has been mostly fair and work on the tower is still running a little ahead of schedule, Wood said.

    Wood said construction will be completed sometime during the third quarter of 2012. Devon will begin moving employees into the new building during the first quarter of 2012, while interior construction of the building is still ongoing, said Devon spokeswoman Alesha Leemaster.

    “As completed floors are released to us we’ll fill those until the building is full, but it will take six to nine months,” Leemaster said.

    "Devon will begin moving employees into the new building during the first quarter of 2012"

    Hard to believe people will be working in that building in just a year's time.

    Devon Tower will be the same height as the GE Building in NYC and Chase Building in Chicago. They will all be 850 ft. tall and the 31st tallest buildings in the U.S.

    ^The Devon Energy Center will only be 3 ft. shorter than The TransAmerica(Pyryamid)tower also!
