Thread: Devon Energy Center

    Did anybody notice the LED's tonight? They were lit up to about 2/3rds of the tower, with full color cycles going. I was driving by so I couldn't really snap a picture, but it was very impressive!

    Depends on where you are looking at the tower from. From my house, the tower doesn't look much taller than the rest of the buildings around it. In fact, it looks even shorter than in the picture. Whereas driving on I-40 heading east, it looks absolutely massive, dwarfing everything else downtown.

    In that Chamber image, Devon Tower is definitely out of scale. It's not nearly tall enough given the perspective also not wide enough.

    The whole thing is clearly Photoshopped.

    I went down to the Skydance bridge last night and walked across and was watching the tower lights.. they were as you said about 2/3 of the way up. From the direction of the bridge they look great as you are looking straight into recessed portion of the tower so you couldn't see the actual LED but rather the entire Recessed channel was reflecting the lights and color cycling it looked great!

    LOL, the reflection in the water looks like it was taken from a different angle.

    Here's a picture I took yesterday evening from the 6th tee at James E. Stewart Golf Course. Pretty cool view to drive into.

    this picture of Devon Tower is not even a real picture, this picture was done and posted on the OKC Chamber site well before Devon Tower was even topped out. They just need to update it now with a real skyline pic.

    Could somebody please get down there or at least take some photos while at the Arts Festival?

    We haven't had any new photos of the park, south entrance, auditorium, Sheridan, Hudson or anything other than the tower from a distance in a month.


    Thanks in advance to anyone that can share. You can always email any photos directly to me and I'll be happy to host and post.

    If my wife makes me go, I'll for certain have my camera with me.

    Wouldn't mind seeing that view from the stadium parking garage in Norman again, now that it's all topped out. The view with that distance blows my mind.

    The sun is setting in the northeast in this photo. I haven't seen it do that before.

    I took photos on Monday... too busy to work on it.

    I found this list on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._by_U.S._state
    When ranking U.S. states based on their tallest building, Oklahoma is 10th in the nation, behind North Carolina and ahead of Minnesota.

    I couldn't find a list that ranked U.S. cities based by their tallest building, so I researched and made one. Hopefully it's pretty accurate.
    Oklahoma City is 12th, behind San Francisco and ahead of Pittsburgh:
    1. Chicago - Willis Tower, 1,450'
    2. New York - Empire State Building, 1,250'
    3. Atlanta - Bank of America Plaza, 1,023'
    4. Los Angeles - US Bank Tower, 1,018'
    5. Houston - JPMorgan Chase Tower, 1,002'
    6. Philadelphia - Comcast Center, 975'
    7. Cleveland - Key Tower, 947'
    8. Seattle - Columbia Center, 932'
    9. Dallas - Bank of America Plaza, 921'
    10. Charlotte - Bank of America Corporate Center, 871'
    11. San Francisco - Transamerica Pyramid, 853'
    12. Oklahoma City - Devon Energy Center, 850'
    13. Pittsburgh - US Steel Tower, 841'
    14. Indianapolis - Chase Tower, 830'
    15. Minneapolis - IDS Tower, 792'
    16. Boston - Hancock Place, 790'
    17. Miami - Four Seasons Hotel, 789'
    18. Jersey City - Goldman Sachs Tower, 781'
    19. Mobile - RSA Battle House Tower, 745'
    20. Las Vegas - Fontainebleua Resort, 735'
    21. Detroit - Marriott at Renaissance Center, 727'
    22. Denver - Republic Plaza, 714'
    23. Atlantic City - Revel Resort, 710'
    24. New Orleans - One Shell Square, 697'
    25. Austin - The Austonian, 683'
    26. Tulsa - BOK Tower, 667'
    27. Cincinnati - Great American Tower, 660'

    The 600+ photos from the Skydance Bridge ribbon cutting and night shots will take a while.

    You're the best, Will. Can't tell you how much we all appreciate you.

    Here are some of those photos... Most impressive is the mature trees installed. It also looks like they are getting very close to completing the park and most the outside elements. I bet that area will be completely open within a few weeks.

    Why are there trees on the tops of those roofs?

    There are small patios up on those out-croppings.

    I assume the trees are in planters to provide shade and ambience to those balconies.

    You think Santa Fe is "treeless and dusty" ?? Have you ever been there? It's surrounded by heavily-wooded mountain ridges. That area of New Mexico is a snowboarder's paradise.

    It may just be the perspective in some of those photos but it appears that the trees planted on the west side of the auditorium are so close to the building that they will eventually be growing right against the building as they get larger.

    Santa Fe is treeless and dusty. At best they have some low riperian vegitation but it certainly is not forested or have a major tree canopy. But yes, nearby mountains are forested.

    I know it all depends on who is doing the reporting but the detailed schematics show it at just under 844 feet -- that IS how tall it actually is, but I know that is not always the issue.
