More renderings. I'll also point out that at 925', this will be taller than Dallas' tallest, Bank of America Plaza.

Great looking building. I love it.

Hot Rod, I fixed one of the image links. That last rendering link wasn't working.

Oh, thanks KfT. For some reason, the text wasn't copying over properly.

Take care!

I really like this shot here, what a view!



If this gets built this is really going to be awesome. IMO, I think Fort Worth needs a signature tower like this as well.

wow, that is awesome.
that puts my Phoenix tallest to shame... which is already shorter than the OKC Chase tower... our tallest in PHX is the Chase Tower at 484'
and the Phoenix metro area has 4 times the population as the OKC metro.

Now if OKC actually started moving on some public transportation projects I would say this is a place to watch out for.

WHOA!!!!!! That tower is gonna be built in downtown OKC??!!! My goodness OKC is really coming up in the world and I mean literally!! Heck I went through there last weekend on the way to and on the way back from Dallas and it always amazes me how much bigger the city (OKC) and its surrounding suburbs such as Moore and Norman just keep booming! Heck I even saw Wichita's own Warren Theatre's in Moore and it looks slightly bigger than the ones in Wichita!! Congrats to the great OKC. BTW, when Wichita's new downtown arena is finished could we please borrow your new NBA team for a little bit?

Hopefully our two cities will be connected by Amtrak's Heartland Flyer sometime in the near future. I know our state leaders have talked about it what about yours? Of course the Heartland Flyer currently goes from Fort Worth to OKC but service to Wichita and then up to Newton to connect to Kansas City would be great.

There's been talk off and on about it especially to KC, but it has never moved beyond the talking stage. Heck there was talk one time of building an all new toll highway to directly connect Wichita and Tulsa because of both city's Boeing facilities.

On a side note, last week a group of city leaders and other people from Wichita's Visoneering Group, made a trip to OKC to understand how the city has grown, developed its downtown, and figure out how its success can also be done in Wichita. The group also visited Forth Worth.

^^ We've had a lot of those type of delegations come to check out all the MAPS projects. Especially the canal, I think some of those cities are going to build their own canals now.

Here's a newly approved project. This is the new pedestrian bridge over the new I-40 re-route south of downtown.




Designed by Hans Butzer, who designed the Oklahoma City Memorial.
