Devon Energy Center

[dmoor82]

And yes...the official top-out height IS 850 FT...that'll keep it from dwarfing all the other buildings so much anyway. 850 blends in better with the current skyline than 925, don't you think??

^^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.

Here's the video again.

Approximately 574 feet now with the foundation poured for the 36th floor.....wow!! Only about 276 feet to go now!! Looks like its gona top out ahead of schedule.

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.


Much like this one:

Thats freakin' HILARIOUS! Especially considering AT&T is fixing to inhale T-Mobile!

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

[UnFrSaKn]

Heh, someone already did that one.

[Dulahey]

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

Already discussed. It's just fail journalism.

I like it..

Me too...

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.

[dmoor82]

Just wait until Devon is done. It still has over 300 feet to go. It will be twice as tall as the three building right next to it (FNC, City Place, Oklahoma). Take the distance from the top of the building to the top of the cranes and add that to the top of the cranes. That is how high it will be when it is done. 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 know. It seems fitting doesn't it?

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.

Moved a bunch of posts to the General Urban Development thread.

Please keep this about Devon Tower. Thanks.

[metro]

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

From earlier today.

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!

[UnFrSaKn]

In case anyone has lost count, there are now 38 completed levels and 28 levels with glass.

That puts the height about 575 feet.

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.

[Pete]

Sorry meant 36 levels -- 28 glassed in.

[UnFrSaKn]

Just gotta be accurate for the videos.

[UnFrSaKn]

Due for an update.
