BancFirst Tower

[5alive]

Pete have you noticed where all the glass/windows are stacked?

[SagerMichael]

It’s a shame that for such a high profile project we don’t have HD renderings of what this will look like when all finished. Maybe they’ve got a surprise?

[bucktalk]

I'm still having a hard time visualizing how this is going to look after only knowing the blackish tower for the last 50 years.

Same here. But ultimately I think it'll look pretty stunning, especially in comparison to how it's looked.

Walked past here last night and saw that a few of the columns have been unwrapped

The contrast between new and old will be really interesting once they fully finish the north side.

Not sure what you mean unwrapped

They are putting up the green board. Then applying a black coating to them that is some kind of sealant I assume. They will eventually be wrapped in the aluminum/metal cladding

Ahh

It'll really be weird looking from the interstate once they get high enough on that side. Like putting on a new pair of pants!

I think this is really going to impact the skyline in a good way. It's going to look like brand new building.

Totally Agree! What a massive improvement

[SEMIweather]

I probably have a post stating the contrary earlier in this thread, but I would like to retract that opinion and agree that this is looking like a big improvement so far.

It looks a lot better than the renderings. Its hard to show what tinted glass is going to look like.

This is going to look awesome

[OkiePoke]

I think Devon needs to see how fast they can install windows.

[5alive]

I'm running out of words to describe how awesome this project is...but now something needs to be done to the facade of that parking garage. Perhaps a whole new facade, one that compliments the "new" BancFirst tower.

[Pete]

Once they finish the section up to the blue mullions, they should start working from the top down.

That will be even more fun to watch.

[5alive]

Pete, does that mean they will rework the crown at the same time?

I don't think so.

I believe they have to replace all the windows underneath. It could be the crown will be the very last thing done to the outside.

Is my memory deceiving me or did this building used to have BancFirst logo on the top in the past? I am talking like early 2000's,

It had a Bank One logo prior to the Chase logo. I believe it was stylized as “Bank1One”. I think I have non-digital pics of it somewhere.
