Boardwalk at Bricktown / Dream Hotel

Seems like that's generally how most supertall buildings that are announced end up. Announced near the top of an economic boom and then by the time they are finally ready to start construction we are in a recession and all they have to say is economic conditions make it no longer feasible. I'm hopeful Hyatt has at least committed enough money for the smaller towers to get built.

Actually, recessions can actually help. Many of these extremely large developments incomes are projected out over long terms, but can take advantage of lowered interest rates in construction and for permanent financing that are often associated with slow economic times. And, we tend to create tax incentives for real estate development to help pull us out of the downturns. Given the time to construct, these projects then complete as the economy is in recovery or soon to be in recovery. If you have the ability to get financed or draw investors during bad economic times you can do very well. Like other investments… buy at the bottom, sell at the top.

I make a motion that we stop referring to it as a super tall and start calling it a stupid tall.

No, that would only be limiting ourselves as being too stupid and SHORT sighted to see big. After all, are the people in Saudi Arabia calling their current to be tallest skyscraper in the world, the Jeddah Tower, stupid tall even though it will be well up there at 3281 ft. tall? I tend to doubt it. Estimated completion date to occur in 2028 or 2029. The Legacy Tower at 1907 ft. is so much SHORTER than the Jeddah Tower. We have already limited ourselves and America enough.

There’s potential to the south, curious what might be developing other than the stadium.

Yeah, because I was serious.

As serious as the FAA or???

I think the Funks will develop the rest of the site at some point. Depends on the cost of the clean up of the area.

And don't expect Mazaheri to move forward on anything on the Lumberyard site any time soon.

As serious as the FFA. Cows and pigs is serious bidness.

Given that we’ll probably see pigs fly before the legends tower gets build…probably will need both the FAA and FFA involved if it’s really going to happen.

Ok, with all the hate and negative talk on OKC on social media, I want this to happen now more than ever. And by this, I mean the Legends Tower. I know about the rest of the project.

What negative talk about OKC?

What negative talk about OKC?

You must not have Instagram.

[bison34]

You must not have Instagram.

I do, but I'm just not sure what negativity the poster is mentioning. On OKCtalk posts? Or like, in the general realm of IG, people bashing OKC?

Mostly IG from what I've seen, but any news or updates about the tower tends to bring highly liked comments about how "boring" OKC is and that the city is so lame and ugly that the view would be pathetic from the top... Or the, "we have the worst education and most homelessness ever but now we're mimicking Dubai" type posts. It has brought a wide variety of OKC complains to the conversation.

Internet being negative? Nah, that can't be true.

Building the tower isn't going to make those comments go away and they will be worse if they can't manage to actually fill it.

[BDP]

Internet being negative? Nah, that can't be true.

Yeah. I wouldn't worry about it until there's an AI generated YouTube video recapping a TikTok reaction video to the orginal IG posts.
