[Pete]

The official name was mentioned in earlier articles several months ago.

Was going to suggest someone put the first photo up on the Wikipedia page, but they already did.

Speaking of the Devon Tower's wiki page...

Other than billion being spelled wrong, I thought this project was significantly less expensive than this.

Cost $1.75 bilion (est.)

Cost is $.75 billion not $1.75 billion.

Has been for a while? I googled/found only one reference to "Devon Energy Center" in a Jan 16 '11 column by Steve on NewsOk.com. I guess 3 weeks constitutes "a while". News to me...but makes sense.

It's had that on its own garage for a while now.

BDP, Pete's right - it's been out for a while - I just didn't get around to using the name until recently.

just a fyi they were testing a row of the led lights on the northwest side of the building tonight ..

Got this one from the www.news9.com tower cam...

[geterdone]

I wonder what the height of the cranes are at now?

I'm ready to get back out there for video updates. Were it not for the weather delay, they probably would have topped Chase in time for this week. I don't suppose anyone knows an exact update on this?

By the way, could anyone tell me exactly what window and floor the construction web cam points out of? Perhaps Pete? Just curious so I know where to look next time. It's very hard to spot from the ground.

If your were south of the building looking north it seems that the camera location is slightly west and a few floors up from the building that lines up with the tower. You can see it in the tower cam, the east side of tower and west side of the building line up like a gun sight. Not sure what building that is. Might help a bit.

The building is Corporate Tower. Yeah, I know those details, but you still can't spot it unless you know exactly.

On News9, Garry England showed a picture of the tower from the Chase that was just jaw dropping! The sun was going down and the tower really stood out. I hope someone can find it, because I had no luck...

I just asked Gary. We'll see what he says.

Certainly Devon is now taller than Chase.

31 completed levels puts it right at 497 feet (Chase is 500) plus the elevator cores are at least one full level higher and they have already started on level 32.


Two months from now, it should pass the BOK Tower to become tallest in the state.

Where's our monthly update from Bryanosaurus? I always look forward to seeing it.

[plmccordj]

Can you refresh me on how tall each level is? I could have sworn that I read on here that the first six floors were 21 feet and the remaining 25 levels were 15 feet. That would put it at 501. I cannot find that post which makes me think that I misread it or forgot the actual numbers.

Thanks

[Pete]

I have the first 6 floors at 20 feet and the others at just over 15.

The top 4 floors will be about 20 feet each and the crown a total of 60 feet.

[plmccordj]

Thank you sir. I will have to write that down.

I slowed down the time-lapse and got a shot when it was zoomed in towards DT.

devon ceo will have an interview on fox business tomorrow.

Do you happen to know exactly what window and floor the construction web cam points out of? Just curious so I know where to look next time. It's very hard to spot from the ground.
