BOK Park Plaza

[ourulz2000]

Will be nice stretching the skyline to the west coming up I35.
Will BOK be visible driving westbound on I40 (before you get to 35 south turnoff east of Bricktown)?

[KayneMo]

^Yes, it'll be partially hidden from Devon Tower but the southern half of BOK will be visible.

From today.

10th floor almost complete; looks like the north parking structure is topped out:

Seems to be on schedule with the skeletal structure (7/8th of a floor to one floor per week); at this rate, (3rd week/July - 11th floor) we should see the top of the tower (433 ft. ) around late October or early November 2016 with a scheduled completion in 2017.

Tall buildings and their construction freak me out... Like a whole bunch of concrete pillars filled with steel are holding up tons of mass. Weird stuff.

Does anybody know when they'll add onto the tower crane? And if so, by how much??

I thought I was the only one. The height of the cranes and how they work freak me out too. Especially on really tall buildings like those in Manhattan.

I've been waiting for that. It's gotta be pretty soon as the building is approaching the height of the crane. No way of knowing how much they'll add on. Maybe double it's height.

[Pete]

I was told by someone close to the construction of this project that the crane will jump 3 times (to take the first big move soon) and top out at 500 feet.

[TU 'cane]

3 times, and if it's soon then that would average out to be a move about every 9 floors or so.

Thanks for the info and updates everyone.

I found this great live cam of downtown OKC and it shows BOK starting to rise above the other buildings! OKC look amazing from this angle and that building will sure do a lot for the skyline.

I decided to drive around last night to see some of the stuff going on around downtown and the mass of the BOK Park Plaza is quite impressive. I'm excited to see the finished product in person.

[Laramie]

We haven't seen this much excitement since the construction of the Devon Energy Tower.

Let's hope this is a sign of things to come with future construction to begin on the convention center, conference hotel & the future Times Square projects.

What I notice here is the abundance of green space south of the new boulevard. Can't wait to see if and how this area is developed. 5-10 years?

West parking structure starting to take shape.

Just looked at the webcam. Has it reached Colcord height already?? How many more floors is the Renaissance than Colcord?

Can someone take the live shot of this and show us where it will top out at from this angle?

I think the Renaissance is 15 floors and the Colcord is 14 floors.

I didn't take a live shot but I made this with SketchUp and imported the models (BOK and 4th/Gaylord) to Google Earth.

[Bellaboo]

Will look good !

[TU 'cane]

I'm pretty sure it's already taller than Hotel Black and the Motor Hotel were, right?
And thanks Kayne. One of the striking features of this tower is definitely how long and narrow it will be, almost like a wall.

You solved two of our skyline pics; BOK Park Plaza and the Times Square recently announced project.

Impressive KayneMo, Thanks

[OKCDrummer77]

I couldn't get a pic, but I could see the (current) top 2 floors from NW 10th over I-44.

This is really moving quickly now! Wish the OG&E towers would have come true too. It would have really dramatically changed our skyline. Nonetheless this is great!
