Have mercy on those of us who work daily in CBD! With the loss of the Galleria parking, it's been tough enough to find a monthly parking spot when you have to pay for it yourself. Century Center and Cox are the main two places with monthly or daily parking still available for self-payers.
And poor taxpayers getting audited by IRS not only have to schlep their records downtown, but have to pay a premium price to park 2-3 blocks away? Esthetics aside - parking is still needed.

when project 180 is finished .. it will add something like 500 spaces to downtown

East crane going up right now.

That's one of the original photos from when the cam was first fired up... Shows you how far we've come in a year and a half!

Live images should start again in a day or two.

I have some photos I took on Saturday afternoon and night. Problem is, I can't get a good connection with my laptop. I'll try to go somewhere to upload them this week...

Flew directly over the Devon Tower on my way in to OKC this morning. Looked fantastic!

[OKCisOK4me]

Ok, I was able to upload them, so here ya go:





I changed the coloring around on this one...


Don't ask me why, but this one reminds me of Star Wars for some reason...

[soonerwilliam]

It gets my vote also. Would like to see it on Wiki's " List of U.S. Cities by Population" too!

Did anyone else catch the piece on News 9's Sunday 10pm broadcast about the tower? Alex whatshisface went into to the tower w/Nichols and they took him to the very top (44th floor?) and got shots of the landscape and had flyover helicopter shots as well. They showed shots of the finished 7th floor, the model floor, and shots inside the atrium.

Said construction is ahead of schedule. I don't remember many more details. Figured someone else on here would have been all over that already.

Is this good enough?

Touring Devon Tower: Oklahoma's Tallest Building

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Devon Tower is now the tallest building in the state of Oklahoma, surpassing Tulsa's 667-foot Bank of Oklahoma Tower. But the Devon building is not finished growing.

The impressive skyscraper is closing in on a planned height of 850 feet and 50 stories, but also impressive is the "bucket hoist" that takes workers and executives straight up the side of the building. It goes up to the 37th floor, where the Oklahoma wind whips by at furious speeds.

[Pete]

That video is awesome! Gave me vertigo.


The webcam is back up.

[UnFrSaKn]

Ok, the address is different now.

[KayneMo]

Neat video!

[UnFrSaKn]

Time for an update.

List of tallest buildings in Oklahoma City

[KayneMo]

I don't see Leadership Square South on any of those lists! It's definitely tall enough at 240-ish feet, right?

[Pete]

Photo from today; 36 levels with glass, 44 levels complete and 45 about half-way:

[Martin]

based on that picture, would you say there's about 10 stories to go? -M

[Pete]

Yes, if you added another 10 levels on top of the 45th floor nearing completion, that would approximate the final height.

At 45 levels we are at about 700 feet, with 850 being the finished height. Each of the recent floors are about 15' high, so that would leave the equivalent of about 10 more.

Levels 47-50 will be about 20 feet rather than 15 and the unoccupied crown with be another 60 feet.
