Hmm....very interesting!

[OklahomaNick]

Don't think anything will change much.. Strong tennents. Very nice/popular building.
This going up for sale is purely a reflection of our strong market for outside investors.

[Just the facts]

Any chance it could discourage would-be developers from building a spec-building if they can just buy an existing one with tennants already in place? That is my biggest concern.

Was Oklahoma Tower where Continental Resources had temporarily located some staff in anticipation of their move to the current/soon-to-be-former Devon HQ?

[lasomeday]

Yeah, they are in the Oklahoma Tower and Corporate Tower.

They opened an office in Corporate Tower several months ago and according to another article today, have recently leased space in Oklahoma Tower for about 80 employees. They also bought a hanger at Wiley Post and will have some employees working out of it.

This just shows how crowded the Class A market is in downtown OKC. CR just got here and they are already having to lease space in 2 different buildings.

The Dowell Center has a ton of space, all empty.

If and when the renovation is complete that will be a good chunk of contiguous space (192,000 square feet), although probably only Class B.

Wouldn't the reverse be true? By selling it the seller would have capital to build a new spec building?

He said he was going to re-invest the money elseware.

From the article:

He plans to use the proceeds to buy properties in other areas to diversify his portfolio.

Knowing how Rick Dowell works it probably won't qualify as Class A but it will be very, very nice Class B...that could have been Class A if he weren't so "different" when it comes to his developments.

Is the Oklahoma Tower the blue tower?

[dmoor82]

Is the Oklahoma Tower the blue tower?

^^Yes!

[Thunder]

Thanks.

Here is the LEGO version. Really wish I took more than one.

[Urbanized]

That's so cool. Still haven't seen the Legos in person.

[okcfollower]

Who busted out the window on the 30th floor on the west side...

[Spartan]

Nowhere near as bad as the building around NWX and Independence

The red one? I'm assuming that is hail damage lol

[Spartan]

Oh, duh. You guys have no idea how much I've wondered that every time I pass it.

[MDot]

Oh, duh. You guys have no idea how much I've wondered that every time I pass it.

I've wondered as well but just assume it's hail damage. It reminds me of the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel in Atlanta after the tornado that went through downtown in 2008.

[peanutgallery]

I've noticed several nights that the top night lighting is off.....and there are several neon strips lit up (on the WEST SIDE ONLY)....one white ...and one blue......figured that they were testing to see if or not to change the top lighting trim to blue? Anyone know what they are doing?

[KayneMo]

Is that new lighting gracing the top of Oklahoma Tower?

[Pete]

Yes indeed! Hope it lives on beyond Christmas.

[bchris02]

I agree. Simple lighting goes a long way. My guess is it isn't just a Christmas thing being that it's Thunder blue.

Looks good. I must say the last couple weeks the Devon Tower has been on-point.
