Hopefully you will get another tower near this size to balace the skyline, the Devon tower looks like what the IDS did in Minneapolis during the 80's

It's way too tall. Three 30-35 story buildings would have been much better to create a nice skyline. Now it looks like there is one building in OKC, sort of like how Omaha looks now.

But it's still a nice building.

I think it looks great. Hopefully the new Sandridge tower that will be built in the next few years will give more height.

Two 30-40 story buildings would have looked so much better.

Tower looks great! Can't wait to see it when it is done. Glad they built one tall building instead of a couple of shorter stumps. Whats the low down on the Sandridge Tower? Is it a new office building coming soon?

I've said it before but...that thing looks horrible! I mean its a pretty design and all, but it just doesn't fit the skyline.
