BOK Park Plaza

It would be neat to see it drawn as an animation, including a fade out of the drawing and a fade in of the building as it rises....

That is honestly the best thing I've ever seen made in MS Paint in all my years of using Windows since 1992 or so

I love MS Paint, the simplicity allows for some very rudimentary drawing. If you have the patience you can make some really cool pieces. I was bored one day several years ago and made this. Inspired by a song I was listening to, I was wishing I could turn the volume up so loud my hair would go backwards. Having neighbors, and a concern for my already growing hearing loss from work, I decided to draw my idea instead of attempting it in real life. I also didn't have a 97" speaker like Marty McFly

Very similar to this famous print ad from the 70's:

I can't see the pic on my work pc. Is there anyway we can upload it to okct's hosting??

Almost topped out on the north parking garage.

8 floors almost completed on tower; starting on #9.

They're really going to town on the main structure!

[Pete]

Should be one floor every 7 to 10 days.

North garage is just about topped out.

[Geographer]

I'm really loving what the city is doing with the new Garage District!

If we could build more things at the rate we build garages that would be a sight.

First part of the glass curtain wall going up:

Excellent!

Can't wait to see how they start climbing with the panels. Still a ways to go, but it's getting there. Are we anticipating this to at least be topped out before the end of the year?

[Pete]

Yes, should be topped out end of this year or very early next year.

Full panes of glass going up on the side today!

[TU 'cane]

Thanks.
Must be the lighting or something, but that glass looks dark and rather blueish. I thought it was going to be lighter?

Here a some preliminary pics of the BOK Park Plaza:


The glass does appear darker in the most recent pics.

[Pete]

I'm sure the glass will be the exact same as Devon Tower.

On my drive home from work today, I noticed while driving north on I-44 that looking toward downtown I could see at least three stories of this project over the treeline! Total awesomeness.

Last night in Midtown, for the first time I could see the structure above the trees and buildings.

Looking forward to watching it climb and filling out the skyline.

Yep, I was looking at Oklahoma Tower trying to imagine it that high. Can't wait!

[catch22]

I took these yesterday morning.

[KayneMo]

I noticed today that I could see the tower rising above from I-35 and SW 59th. Very exciting!
