OG&E Tower

[soonerguru]

All I've heard is it's still on track and will be at least 33 floors.

I know the developers are talking to some companies looking to move some operations here; not a headquarters but perhaps a division.

So it is a spec tower then. Also, one would conclude OKC will not be the announced HQ for the MLP?

Check the latest on Enable Midstream over in the 'local business' section and that should answer the HQ question. Post # 159.

How firm do you think that number is? That is, do you think there is much of a chance that it wil be less than 33 stories?

At this point, given the unusable, though formerly interesting, structure that gets replaced, anything over two stories is going to be a vast improvement in present day use. so whether it is 15, 20, 30, 33, or more is just gravy on the biscuit.

I've heard 33 and 35; the number definitely went up, as originally is was more around 28.

Hadn't heard anything new in a while.

I suspect they are still in negotiations with various tenants and trying to firm up their financing.

I would not be so sure of that. I am fairly sure that it IS going to be headquartered in OKC.

[Jim Kyle]

I believe that's what the link in the referenced post says. The only two addresses listed are both in OKC, and it's registered in Texas as a foreign enterprise.

There taking that like a whole other country a little far

[Bellaboo]

It more or less says all of the principle entities are located in OKC, as in the HQ, with the exception of the interstate pipeline office, which they stated will be in Houston.

So, I'd say the HQ will be in OKC.

[GaryOKC6]

Yep, I misread you earlier post. I agree.

I'll do everyone a favor here - I'm on vacation for a week in September, the 17th to the 23rd........maybe there'll be some more info come out when I'm gone..it seems to have happened that way in the past.

Appreciate that!

Actually, if you really do have those magical powers... perhaps you can take your vacation a little earlier?

Well, actually flying to Denver in the morning for 3 days for the OneRepublic concert at Red Rocks....just didn't think that was much of a vacation (only 3 days).

Count your blessings; there are plenty of working people who would love to be able to fly for a 3 day vacation.

I count them every day, but we're some of those working folks too. We used credit card points for the airfare and the hotel stay to make it possible.....Anyway, let's hope we hear some good news sometime in the next 3 weeks.

[OKC74]

I keep checking back and am disappointed we have no additional updates!! Any news? Anyone??

[Pete]

It's gone very quiet... Even Steve in his chat yesterday said he had not heard anything new.

I suppose it's the calm before the storm. We should hear something official soon.

Last I heard, it was to be 33-35 floors.

Just like last time, I'm aiming at checking this thread around December 15th, unless, I see a 10 page growth in one random day beforehand...

That's what I have been doing. I am from Mo.-Show Me. Tired of hearing rumors of this and that when no one seems to have any facts. I mean we know there's gonna be a building built but what else do we really know? Not a lot. So it's wait and see like it's been for a couple years. Glance at this thread every now and then looking for a big spike in pages.

Generic Calendar/Clock - Countdown to Oct 24, 2013 in Oklahoma City

Less than 45 days until details are revealed.....

That is, we're now past the half-way point of the 90 day period from the initial announcement.

Oh the agony of waiting..................................

I just want to know the architect.

[Bellaboo]

Talked to my inside source (kind of, her husband is in the Enogex downtown office) yesterday. Nothing to report other than it seems like EnoGex and CNP personell will all be interviewing for positions. Said that if not chosen, then folks could more or less retire as if they were at least 62 years old, depending upon years of service. Still very quiet, which could be a good thing at this point.

[Praedura]

Yeah, me too. That's one of the things that I want to know.

Along with:

• height
• number of floors
• square footage
• tenants (especially the anchor)
• estimated cost
• construction firm
• start date
• estimated completion date
• floor plans
• materials list
• sketches
• renderings
• landscaping plans
• amenities
• first floor retail
• street interaction
• parking
• building name
• more sketches
• more renderings
• any additional details
• more, more, more

Hopefully so. The lull before the outbreak....

I'm hoping we hear some solid stuff before October 1st. That's my current "wish" timeline.
