[Dustin]

It will be America's largest single family home.

Complete with drawbridge... Good grief.


Can you imagine just what it would take to heat and cool that much space in Oklahoma?

Carbon footprint the size of a million yetis.

[dmoor82]

Just saw this story on Facebook, who will be the owner?

[Dustin]

If I were a betting man, I'd say this thing is gonna cost anywhere from 15-25 million.

Just saw this story on Facebook, who will be the owner?

"The City of Edmond says the home is the idea of David Frayer, the owner of the Key Auto Group."

[Stew]

Now the one question I have, is David Frayer the "guru" on The Key Auto Commercials or is he the guy who hired the guy playing the guru. Either way who knew the Key was doing so well.

Take that Dallas

[Plutonic Panda]

Dallas may have bigger highways, but they don't have bigger houses.

We just outsized Texas, not everything is bigger in Texas. See, I can bash Texas to

[bchris02]

Wow this thing looks absolutely amazing. Hopefully they have an open house before it gets completed. I want to see the inside just once.

Yes, I wonder how high the highest ceiling will be.

[Paseofreak]

Gawd! That thing is hideous and won't relate visually to anything at all. Not to mention the egregiously conspicious consumption.

I never would have guessed that you would like this. Thought it would totally go against everything you're about.

Why do you say that?

[venture]

Pretty cool and if I had the cash I would probably go a little crazy, but probably not to this extreme when it comes to waste of space. That is unless I had a bunch of people living with us.

Hopefully they'll make it tornado, earthquake, wind, and hail proof. Would probably ruin someone's day if one of the towers got knocked over.

[Easy180]

Completely necessary

If I had beaucoup amount of money, I would keep my home relatively small and just splurge on cars, trips, and menial treasures! :P

[Martin]

according to the county assessor the old wal mart in moore, last occupied by convergys, is 87,350 square feet... let that sink in for a second. -M

[AP]

Why do you say that?

I was kind of kidding. If I would have had to guess the two people on this board that would like this the most, I would have picked you and PluPan.

[Garin]

I wonder who contacted the news about this.

It maybe bigger but there are more expensive (when including land), when I was in Austin we had a "virtual contracting" project where we were modeling a house being built right by the 360 Bridge on Lake Austin. The contractor hired us to figure out the design from the plans using Revit and Navisworks. They bought the land for around 26 million (it sits "below" Michael Dell's house across 2222) and it included a 3,000 sf house up near 2222. The house was designed by some big architect in California and very modern, the house and garage were supposed to be in the 30 million range. The garage had a turntable in it and was rather large itself. The artwork in the home was to be worth more than the house and land. It was just one of their many houses.

It shows up still being under construction on Google Earth just east of the 360 bridge.

I think that house in Edmond is hideous, way too much kitschy crap on it for my liking. My wife said it reminded her of the WinStar casino near Thackerville with all the different facades.

I think it is pretty. I also thought how much this house would cost in a city like Austin, Miami, L.A., San Fran or some other huge city with high land costs.

You need to triple or quadruple your highest number.

[Plutonic Panda]

I honestly was thinking 50+million.

[mugofbeer]

Utterly and outrageously obscene. What good could be done with the money rather than building that monstrosity.
