Devon Energy Center

[catch22]

Very nice shots Matthew. The lighting was nearly perfect - unless Photoshop adjusted it!!

No photoshopping other than routine adjustments (sharpness, cropping, resize, etc.)

In catch22 pictures, I like the new sculpture (frame 6) in the MBG of the three native americans shooting their arrows into the sky. It's a really nice sculpture addition to the gardens.

In yesterdays DOK, said that Vast is opening October 24, I believe. They are now or soon to be taking reservations.

They are already taking them. We have some already.

How do you make reservations at Vast?

WOW ! Awesome. Beyond first class. I've got reservations for Vast in January, can't wait.

Devon certainly built an amazing facility. Everything about it has been done to an extremely high standard. OKC is fortunate to have a corporate citizen like Devon.

Illy (the coffee shop) should be open any day. The interior is finished. I am not sure what the delay is. I hope it will be open next week. They added more seating with chairs that are a different color in front of the coffee shop this week. It will serve gelato too! Can't wait!

I noticed two windows still need to be put in. Is that the correct amount or are there still more?

This shot almost looks like they were mocking people afraid of heights with the floor design.

That is correct the one on the east was damaged in a wind storm and the other window I am not sure about. It is in a tricky location and they have to cut windows to match the location.

From this afternoon, as requested.

When are they going to fill up the moat around the tower?

[edcrunk]

I really hope Devon doesn't end up with one or two LED fins always going out...

When they finish the project.

Yes, they are still working on the entire system and hope to be finished in about another month.

they just started putting the stones in the moat last week

[Pete]

Remember, the official finish date isn't until October.

They moved in early but the October timeline has always been what they've pointed to for final completion and they are getting darn close.

All that is really left is the main water feature around the base of the tower, the park between it and the Colcord, the external LED lighting, a few floors at the very top and the restaurant and banquet space on the 49th & 50th floors. I'm sure all this will be done in the next two months.


From the start of demolition, it only took them 2.5 years to starting moving employees in and the total project will be about 3 years. To put that into perspective, Chesapeake takes almost that long to complete just ONE of their six-story campus buildings.

The speed and thoroughness of Devon complex has been amazing to watch. They paid for a world class architecture and construction team and it shows.

Is Illy (the coffee shop) open yet?

Couple of pictures of downtown from the air. Taken yesterday.

[OKCisOK4me]

That second pic is awesome! I blew it up and probably stared at it for 5 minutes, lol.

[Pete]

Many more trees as you look north, but I agree that more are needed everywhere.

The whole Central Park, Core to Shore and river projects should make a big difference.

What about the alligators and piranhas?
