Expected to open by 2014??? When did they add another year to the project? I thought the only date that had been put out there was the end of 2012? I hope it's not that long.

Kill the motor, dude. The year was inaccurately reported. It the completion date was extended, we'd all know. It doesn't take 4 years unless your building a 2,600 ft. supertall.

I sure didn't think that 2014 date was accurate. Especially at the pace they are moving I figured if anything it might get done sooner than late 2012. Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss some announcement. I'm really looking forward to watching the pad of the tower go in. Awesome stuff!

As recently as a couple of weeks ago, Devon said they were on or ahead of schedule.

Yeah, they said they were ahead of schedule, but we had some nasty weather and lost a few days, so I'd imagine they are about right on schedule. Hopefully when the weather gets nicer, they can get back ahead of schedule before severe weather season.

pretty sure they said they were still ahead of schedule despite all the bad weather... could be mistaken

No. 604 is terrific. It's ART. :

Yeah, thanks for posting those. They were excellent!

I really liked #583, with the sun behind the crane.

That's the one. WOW.

It was an amazing scene down there yesterday...so much activity and NOISE! You don't really get a sense of the scope of the project until you stand on the top of the east garage and look down. I was amazed and highly recommend a trip downtown to see it for yourself.

[UnFrSaKn]

My favorite.

[gen70]

Very nice pics..

[Dustin]

Awesome shot of downtown!!! Geeze.. to think that the Devon tower will almost be too tall for the picture.. Crazy!

You've got that right!

The noise is becoming less charming as I listen to it for 10 hours a day.
Guess I need to invest in some Bose headphones.

The upside - I can watch all the activity as I listen to conference calls or work at my desk. It changes so much each day!

[OKCDrummer77]

Nice weather today, so I went downtown to get some pics.









The crane


The van


The webcam is somewhere up there

Forgot to add the shots I got of the west garage expansion:

[gen70]

Thanks for the great pics. and, for including "The Van".

[SkyWestOKC]

I was just up there a few minutes ago, haha.

Here's me:


Pictures (about two hours after OKC Drummer):







The size of the site is huge once you see it in person.

I took this the other day at the airport - you can see the crane, I think someone asked what the crane looked like against the skyline, maybe this'll help.

[mmonroe]

Damn good photos!

Downtown even looks a little more compact and broad.

[gen70]

Thanks, to all you folks who are taking the pics. on site. The web cam is nice but, your pics. really show some detail.

[dedndcrusr]

Holy crap! Now that's detail.

Thanks for posting those close-ups SkyWest!
