Typical corporate BS. Hopefully companies will eventually get rid of that philosophy, maybe our economy will come back. And no I am not talking about Devon.

Awesome pics kinggober!

Thanks for the slideshow okcpulse, really amazing how fast this project has moved!

holy cow! excellent pictures kinggober! whoo hoo it is looking so good! you can now see how it comes together from the 47-50th floor and now the new crown. i went down there after work on friday and did my routine shots eastbound on 1-40 then back westbound, and even all the way down to 1-240 and that whole upper half of that west side still wasn't there yet, so that just happened saturday. its very impressive. they even solved this question i had about the highest level, it just didn't look even, but now with all the angles and slants that are going on, you can see in the latest pictures how they have the little ballpoints on the very top with that slight extension that completes the crown and evens out the levels.

its really cool to see this coming together in real life and actually looking just like that one computer shot that we have here on the google site under images

[SkyWestOKC]

Anyone know why on the 46th and 45th levels (in kinggober's last shot above), the floorplates in the indentation are not the same as the other ones?

[Pete]

Perhaps for open staircases between those floors?

Anyone ever seen the light show sidewalks?This is the first time I've even heard about it!

[dmoor82]

^^So we have the neon and LED on the Oklahoma river and now we have LED light shows at the Crystal Bridge and sidewalks and soon to be Devon tower!Is OKC trying to emulate some Asian cities?

[Architect2010]

I dunno, but that sidewalk is neat! I didn't know about it either.

Here's the latest picture from my spot.

Wow. Those first LEDs at the bottom are dang bright.

Nice catch.

It looks like the moment of blast off.

I hope so.

That is one of the best angles for downtown because Devon doesn't completely dwarf everything else.

You're not seriou are you?

Awesome pic Dulahey.

[ZYX2]

I hope so.

Be careful what you wish for, can you imagine trying to sleep with all those lights just outside your window? I like all the types of lights there are so far in OKC, but too much light pollution will kill downtown residential.

ON TOPIC: Are we even sure that the Devon Tower will have lighting?

[dankrutka]

Yes. Devon will have LED lighting in the three indented areas (Sorry... couldn't think of a better way to word that).

[Dustin]

Didn't someone post a photo on here a long time ago that showed them testing the LED's on the panels that weren't in the indentions?

[shawnw]

This is unrelated to the sidewalks... Does anyone know why the windows seem to be clear on 4-5 lower levels while they appear to be a blue tint for the rest of levels? I have pictures of this myself and have been meaning to post the question, but the thumbnail for this video shows it well enough and reminded me to ask...

Apologies if this has been asked.

[dankrutka]

I think it's just a perspective thing. I'm pretty sure all the glass is the same, but appears different from different angles. That's my best guess...

[Thunder]

Incorrect.

The glass on the Rotunda are more clear than the tower. Its just the reflection of the surrounding glasses that makes the glasses on the Rotunda appear the same.

[mrktguy29]

It is a different type of lighting. I noticed it one night I was in the area. The lower levers that appear brighter are floors that have been built out and fitted with regular lights. The larger lights are more for construction purposes.

I really don't think it's a perception thing. Here's a pic I took on Thursday (8/25) night. There are clearly four "white light" floors at the bottom with a "blue light" floor sandwiched in between two "white light" floors, and the rest of the building is "blue light". Maybe it's the different lighting...

BTW Thunder, was talking about the building proper not the rotunda.
