This is a terrific idea! Oklahoma City is off most peoples radar. I live in Toronto and would go to OKC, to see this skyscraper. Furthermore, The USA is the birthplace of the skyscraper, yet skyscrapers in Asia are, generally, taller and more spectacular than those in The USA. The Legends Tower would help redeem the reputation of American architecture. Build it!!!

Makes sense if you put it in NYC or Chicago it would not stick out as much. Even Sears Tower's height is only noticed outside the city because when you are in the loop other buildings cover it up alot of the time.

The completion and opening of that tower should definitely bring plenty of tourism and revenue to Oklahoma City. From what I know Oklahoma City certainly doesn't have a large percentage of visitors annually compare to the visitors that go to Miami, NYC, Vegas and Orlando. So I certainly wouldn't mind visiting that city once that tower is complete and open to the public. I've been fascinated with skyscrapers since my childhood.

Wow! I would have never dreamed as a kid, that my home of Oklahoma will be home to the newest tallest skyscraper! No way! These things are usually in areas that already have a huge city skyline. But i like it, and what he said. There aren't any rules! And when you think about it, all big cities started from the same blank canvas. I think its super cool. Oklahoma City has been growing before my eyes. The devon tower still blows my mind. Its soo freaking tall. You can see it from miles and miles away. I cant even imagine how tall this one is going to be. At this rate, by the time I'm an 80 year old man. OKC will look like New York. Its just wild to see a city grow in your lifetime

They probably thought that when the first skyscraper was built. I'm not from Oklahoma cut I've been there many times and I travel the world. One thing I've noticed is that skyscrapers draw more skyscrapers. Look at Dubai. Dubai was a baren city in a desert until they started building. More and more buildings came. There always has to be a first and why not make it the tallest in the US? Things like tall buildings, sports teams, and activities downtown draw more business into a city.

There's what is called a skyscraper index that is used to track the economy of a certain region. It appears whenever one is actually built or approved to be built, the local economy goes into freefall shortly afterward. The Willis Tower (New Sears) was completed in 1974, a year after the first oil shock that brought the country into stagflation. (BTW, the World Trade Center twin towers were completed in 1973.) The Madronas Towers were built in Malaysia in 1997 that exceeded the Willis Tower in height just as its economy crashed, and the Burj Khalifa was built in Dubai and opened right around the global financial crisis of 2008. It makes me wonder why they're building another tallest skyscraper just as commercial high rises are going into a structural meltdown due to the rise of remote work.

OKC is not use to these type Of proposals! Down here in Dallas which is only like 2.5 hours south, these tall skyscrapers get proposed all the time and never get built. I will admit that they are not this tall though. The Funny thing is that OKC downtown is not even as big as Ft. Worth and they are building this. That building would look crazy even in Dallas! A lot of people don’t realize how rare a 1000ft tower is in the US outside of NY and Chicago. This building is almost twice that height!

Third, tornadoes never make it downtown. They go around the heat of the city. While I'm not thrilled about the height, I'd like to think our beautiful city was chosen because we have a lot to offer!

Theres generally no need for such areas in America however. Asian countries are generally VERY densely populated and need to conserve as much space as they can, so they build everything as compact as possible in a small area. America on the other hand has plenty of space to expand and sprawl outward as its just generally cheaper to build outward than upwards. Culture for example also plays a major role as to why American cities were built they way they were (post 1950s). American simply value and prefer space, we don't want to be crammed into a small area.

The US isn't structured this way. Land buyer + builder + seller + retailer + property management company all wrapped in one. It's even more extreme in countries like the Philippines.

I seriously doubt this bldg will be built in OKC. For several reasons. The Bldg would struggle to find tenants to fill a 1907 ft tall Bldg there. Just who do they think is going to buy or rent, in a Bldg that size in Oklahoma. I mean get real. Oklahoma is prone to some serious Tornados. That in itself should be enough to realize this project is stupid. This entire story sounds completely ridiculous.

Apparently you don’t remember signature tower proposal in Nashville back in the early 2000’s. It wasn’t this tall, but it was over 1000ft. That don’t happen and I feel the same will happen to this tower in OKC.

@@wickedlateok1697 Common myth, skyscrapers are comparatively small when compared to tornadoes and the storm systems that spawn them. Tornadoes will affect a skyscraper like any other building. We just don't really have enough records of a tornado directly impacting a skyscraper/high rise building to know what it will really do as the chances of it happening are pretty small.

There will probably be design changes like height reduction and it will take 10 years to build with a $20B price tag. America just doesn’t have what it takes to aim bigger and better anymore. We had our time of glory in the 20th century. 1,907 feet is the best we can do? C’mon. Might as well just go for 2,000 foot mega tall status like Chicago Spire was supposed to before it got scrapped.
