Um....Level Apartments? http://bit.ly/pbdNd6

One of the last things to be finished on any floor is the lighting. They have teams of lighting specialists that usually wait until all the walls are up and furniture in place and then go through the entire space specifying fixtures. So, I would imagine the floors with the white lights (as opposed to the blue construction variety) are almost completely finished.

This isn't correct. Lighting packages go to bid very early in a job, and lights are often onsite months before they are installed as the lead time on them is considerable. Permanent lighting is most often installed as soon as the ceiling is hung, before the ceiling tiles are placed, and long before furnishings. Lighting specialists do take into consideration finishes (paint, carpeting, etc) but all that is spec'ed during design and engineering.

Great stuff, again, William.

Regarding the first vid (haven't seen the second, yet):

• Like how you aligned the Devon towers, current and future, at around the 19-second mark.
• Love the clouds casting shadows at the 2:30 mark...makes it really look like a shimmering city.
• Another favorite is at the 5:23 mark...several others.
• Cool how you ended the video with the scene conveying the end of another typical day in the bustling city of Oklahoma City

Thanks

I found the reflection of the traffic on the glass siding on the west side of the auditorium to be a very interesting effect.

Here is a look at what a corner office will look like. (at least a look at where the ceiling lights and how the ceiling will look on each floor).

The Devon Tower is looking more and more R E G A L everyday.



The Myriad Gardens right below are super neat as well.

Like the views from the southwest with the tower out front and centered. Downtown looks really out-of-balance from due north or south. City should pass ordinance that all future 'scrapers must be at least 600'.

Thanks once again for your great work William! Really enjoyed the videos and pictures.....as always. I'm still excited to see some nightime exterior lighting.....has there been any testing caught on camera? Any word about what color they will use most of the time or will they just change all the time? vertical and the triangles coloring? Thanks for any updates

Good luck.

Although Devon Tower does look a little out of balance from some angles, it doesn't look that bad, and we will see a lot less development downtown if every building had to be 600 ft.

Any word on when all the glass will be done?

[Pete]

Glass installation is stalled until they complete the steel crown on top, which should be done later this month.

I would expect the last of the glass to be installed by the end of October. They hope to start moving employees into the lower floors sometime after the first of the year.

Excellent pics Pablo!

Isn't that sidewalk out of a Michael Jackson video?

That picture doesn't even look real. In fact whenever I visited the new Myriad Garden park the entire setting is very surreal to me.

[earlywinegareth]

^^^Yup, go down there and walk around. The whole time you'll have a feeling of "what city is this?"

September 4th. Pictures from Evo after a Sunday visit to the MG. Lots of people milling around. Families.

That 2nd pic is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Just shows how much of a BEAST this tower is! Dear God!

[MDot]

Yeah, beautiful pictures and that 2nd picture is absolutely mind boggling how huge it is at ground level. And today couldn't have been a better day to get out there and take some pics.

[UnFrSaKn]

The view of the skyline is so clear today compared to how hazy it's been for months.

Whats the hold up with the windows?

Whats the hold up with the windows?

Postponed until they finish the crown.

I was driving along Reno this evening and had to pull over in a parking space right before you get to Hudson to get a glimpse looking at the Myriad Gardens with the Devon Tower in the background and I tell you what, it is a sight to behold. It doesn't even feel like I'm in Oklahoma City anymore, and even though a good portion of Downtown is still under construction in the area I drove through, it is already a vast and amazing improvement over the past couple of years and they still have a little ways to go before their completely through. Then I looked over in the old Ford Dealership and realized that's most likely where the new Convention Center will be and just sat there and soaked all this in and realized, Oklahoma City is on it's way to being a St. Louis or Phoenix, but hopefully better. And the sunset made a reflection on the Devon Tower the way it does in the renderings and even though it's not done yet, it was stunning. Easily my best drive through Downtown but hopefully not the best I ever make for futures sake.

Apologies if this would be considered the wrong subject to put in the Devon Tower thread, my main point was Devon Tower and my main reason for even going Downtown was to see Devon Tower so figured I'd just put it in the Devon Tower thread.
