Only I don't have time to wait till I get home to go back to OKCTalk and upload the code as I have small children.
This is the cover for the current issue (Jan/Feb 2013) of Oklahoma Today:

I need to go pick up a hard copy of this issue.
Rather interesting photo of the tower that seems to vanish into vapor as it rises
The tower seems so translucent in this pic that the brown buildings at the base appear to be located behind DT and actually seen through it rather than being a reflection.

My uncle who works at Devon was moved to another building downtown because they are "remodeling" parts of the building because they are running out of room and trying to make the building make the most efficient use of space possible. Makes me wish the would've just built a super-tall!!!! We, at least this means they might build another tower soon. 2-5 years sound reasonable?
i eco that Plutonic. ....
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
If they're already running out of room again then I'd speculate that the designs are in the works now. Think about how long planning took before an official announcement was made for the current tower. If it's going to be closer to two years then the dream is already in the works...has to be.
Also, don't forget they have already stated they would like to beef up their midstream operations in the near term. That could be a huge boost in employee count coming very soon.

Tsunami incoming!!!!! lol Very nice picture though.
Perhaps they'd tear down the IRS building and buy the empty lot next to it, between it and the Robinson Renaissance, and build there and have it connect to the Colcord annex?
Devon Tower, as seen from Lake Hefner:
See it there, on the horizon in the middle? You can't miss it, heh.

Are you sure that's Lake Hefner? There's water in the lake in the picture. I kid, I kid!
Plutonic: check the source link I provided. That's neither my photo nor my bike. I'm sure it's a nice bike though (I guess).

If it's DVN and they acquire 55 N. Robinson and the land north of it, they will have a small buildable footprint due to setbacks. I'm not talking about what might be required by code, I mean what DVN would do for security purposes. Their new tower is intentionally set away from Sheridan for this reason, with a virtually impenetrable series of barriers, gardens, fountains and walls between building and street.
