    ^^Actually 700-750ft would look alot better,but I dont care let it be 850ft in all it's glory!

    You know what is funny is they lowered the height because of falling energy prices. Now that the building is nearing completion, energy prices are back up.

    And I remember reading earlier that the tapering was a total of 9 feet. So in just a couple of floors you're not going to notice a taper since that's 4 1/2 feet against a total rise of 276 feet.

    It's gonna need one of these on top to make it complete.

    Not to add to the height conspiracy but check out the commentary at the 2 minute mark on UnFrSaKn latest video.

    So glad I don't live in Nashville. That tower is hideous.

    Already discussed. It's just fail journalism.

    While all the other skyscrapers generally have a spike at the top, I think Devon need to seriously consider a huge iconic torch (Olympic Style) with the flame turned on only at night. Its not too late to add that in before the top finishes, because it will cost more money to install at a later time.

    The AT&T Building is the same height as Chase, without the spires.

The only way Devon won't dwarf all of downtown is if the picture is taken straight down.

    This is IMO is the best way to view the skyline once The Devon Tower is complete,it will look the most balanced or not so dominate!

    I liked this one just because of the trend for each of the buildings getting increasingly taller in large steps going from the Renaissance center to Devon, and just for the thought of how much taller the next one would be if that line continued.

    Good idea Pete, can we do the same for the Continental Resources stuff, no need for two threads there.

    Yea,I like that one too(East or West view) it kinda reminds me of that old AT&T commercial about more bars in more areas!

    This is from a week ago. You sure it's 38 levels? This shows 35, so perhaps 36 now? It was 516 a short while ago.
