Are they cleaning windows in the NE tower indention or working on lights? Something is hanging in there.

[Mike63]

They have removed the top circle of steel from the Podium building it appears. I was wondering why the last piece was not installed.

There are some spots well north of Lake Hefner where downtown is clearly visible.

There is a fantastic view of downtown AND the NW Expressway skyline from the Integris Cancer Institute at Memorial & Macarthur. I took several pictures of it while working there. If that 3 story medical office building had been taller, like 10 stories, the view would be even better as you would have Lake Hefner in the foreground.

^^^I read somewhere Lake Hefner is near the highest point in OK County, so that would make another gr8 elevated viewing area. I'd like to see a pic taken from the top of Founders Tower. Geez, Devon is nowhere near being completed and it's already making a huge impact on the skyline. Can't wait to see what it will be like in a few months!

There's a spot on Sorghum Mill Road (NW 234th St) that's between May and Pennsylvania that gives a great view of downtown! That's 17 miles as the crow flies.

There are some great views from that spot, also some more west towards Piedmont along NW 150th.

Here are some shots I took a while back of the skyline from the Lake Hefner Dam.

I had a dream last night that Devon changed their plan back to the original height which is 925 FT. I was so stoked!

Crawler crane gone?

Crawler crane gone?

Nope. It's still there.

[Mike63]

Nope. It's still there.

I have not seen it either. There is a smaller crawling type crane that has been there for quite some time but I have not seen the big one today.

Well, who knows then. I looked on the cam and I thought that was it. I also drove by today on I-40 but had to pay attention to traffic so didn't get a good inspection.

Pretty sure the crawler is still there. I could have swore I saw it a day or two ago.

The rotunda steel looks done now so it will probably come down shortly if it hasn't already.

Very nice. My pics from Integris were similar but you could only see the Lake Hefner Dam. If the building was taller the view would be much better. The whole NW area of OKC is higher in elevation than areas around downtown.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what would the point of this be? Was the top circle just for temporary support or could they really have made a mistake that is having to be redone?

Hi everyone, back with another picture update of 1 WTC taken by my friend tonight. Enjoy!

[Dulahey]

Just took a tour around the site. I have time to kill around downtown every Thursday. And the monster crawler crane is dismantled. I saw the crane placing one of the last pieces onto a semi. I got pictures as proof but can't post til later tonight or tomorrow.

[ZYX2]

Wow, I didn't know WTC was that tall already.

[David Pollard]

Wow, I didn't know WTC was that tall already.

Would be interesting to note (with images) when the WTC is as tall as the Devon Tower will be. This should be still a ways off though as Devon will be taller than WTC 7 and WTC 1 has not topped that yet.

[David Pollard]

Also, looks like in a couple of days Devon will be above the level of the webcam's field of vision. Is a replacement in store?

[soonerwilliam]

Thanks to who ever updated the population for OKC Wikipeda. I appreciate it!

[cameron_405]

...took this shot one year ago to the day whilst en route to the Billy Joel/Elton John concert -- what a difference a year makes!

[Dustin]

Very nice! I like the lights on FNC.

[LeBiddy]

Hey everyone. Long time listener, first time poster.
I was downtown last night and snapped a couple of photos

Taken with the 360 Panorama app for iOS.




Looks like a pair of escalators to be installed

Where is it?????? This thing is going up crazy fast! Thanks for the reminder.

[scrapethaskies12]

Anyone know the exact height of Devon Tower with the addition of the 33rd floor now?? Should just about match, or either be slightly taller or slightly shorter than the Mid-Continent Tower in Tulsa (513 ft.) by now. Either way, Devon is officially the new tallest in OKC now, passing Chase (500 ft.) with the 33rd floor foundation poured....making it the new 5th tallest in the state, OR the new 4th tallest IF IT PASSED THE MID-CONTINENT BLDG, TOO. In any case, WAY TO GO DEVON!!!....YOU'RE DEFINITELY STANDING OUT NOW!!! But could someone with the accurate stats & numbers please get back to me on that?? THANX
