I drove by today and its a very beautiful day. On the way back, I noticed how extremely undersized (small) the rotunda is compared to the monstrous tower. Oh, well, too late for correction on that part. Still, its such a glorifying site.

They must have realized that too late...

Crane raising (Monday, April 11, 2011) 8 hours time-lapsed into 2.7 minutes...

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing..

I could never do that.. seeing it move just a little back and forth gives me the heebee jeebees.. It looks like it could just snap..

William are you going to post pictures or a video of Sandridge Energy's construction that's going on?

You mean demolition, there is no construction going on currently.

This may have been answered earlier, will there be an observation floor/restaurants on the top of this buliding? Seems like it would be a cool concept in okc since I dont know of any other high-rise restaurants here.

in addition to the restaurant at the top, founders tower on expressway used to have one until the landlord kicked them out. There is currently the petroleum club at the top of Chase tower as well.

Why do you think it's undersized. It fits in exactly as the mock up shows it. Have you ever gone into the 20 NB Devon Building and looked at the model. If not, you should.

Gee.... must have.

I don't go down there but once a week maybe. I'm still trying to finish up part 2 of my last video. There isn't much to see, in regards to India Temple, until they tear it down further where I can see more of the inside. Also, cloud cover dictates whether I do any video at all. I'll be in Denver most of next week.

I understand. Maybe later on. Thanks William

I wonder how much it swings back a forth? It looked like several feet when the boom was broad side with the wind.

New photo in the Wikipedia.

Not feeling that pic's angle

Nice photo. I don't know how to edit in Wikipedia, but I notice the article (3rd paragraph) still indicates the Devon Tower will be 54 stories. Maybe one of you with know-how wouldn't mind to fix that when you get a chance??

I was downtown for lunch today. Walked over to the Ford dealership site. Took pics. Seems the official uniform of the day downtown is hardhat and chartreuse or orange fluorescent mesh vest - construction workers everywhere, swarming like ants! Workers all over the Myriad Gardens, on the streets, and at the OKC Arena. Very exciting to see so much activity, I wanted an orange vest for a souvenir. Looking up at Devon soaring over the skyline, I had a moment of, "what city am I in?" Pretty cool down there.

Definitely not a good angle (shot) of downtown on Wikipedia!

[UnFrSaKn]

Is this the "taper"?

[mcca7596]

I definitely see the taper in that picture.

[ljbab728]

Yes, it is really starting to be noticeable now.

[UnFrSaKn]

A week late, but here's part 2.

[UnFrSaKn]

Just a few.

[Lauri101]

As always - awesome pictures! Looking through your "eye" turns the familiar into the wondrous!

Details emerge as Devon tower dominates the skyline

A recent tour of Devon Energy Center reveals some floors of the $750 million corporate headquarters are close to completion, though occupancy won't take place until next year.
