The rumor mill about downtown OKC is heating up, and even the Daily Oklahoman is catching on.

A recent article said that as many as four or five highrise projects were under development in various stages. Today, the Oklahoman speculated (according to information from various reliable sources) that rapidly growing Sandridge Energy Co, which moved to a highrise tower in NW OKC from Amarillo last year, is interested in purchasing the 30-story, vacant, McGee Tower in DT. According to the Oklahoman, such a move would give Devon Energy CEO Larry Nichols enough confidence in the DT office market to go ahead with his rumored plans to consolidate his company into a single signature office tower. Devon is currently using well over 50 floors of space all around DT. The Oklahoman speculated even further that American Assurance, a company currently on the NW side, would fill in the spaces left by Devon.

It's actually a very plausible scenario... All of these companies are expanding and interested in improving their locations.
