^^Lots of rumors of maybe two new towers going up both over 500ft tall!Hopefully these rumors come true,so that the skyline will balance out!

Cool flyover of downtown showing the Devon tower and Chesapeake arena!

Pretty cool Nike commercial seen on ESPN,showing the OKC skyline, Chesapeake arena and the Devon Tower at the end! Basketball Never Stops-Spotlight Return

Sandridge Energy will be building a new tower that will only be about 300-350 ft tall and then the new convention center hotel will be 650 rooms and have limited space to build on so it is speculated that it would be a tall hotel,maybe 400-500 ft+,there will be more additions to the skyline in the upcoming years but nothing like the Devon tower!

Devon Tower TIF(Project 180)Transforming Downtown Oklahoma City 180 Degrees The initiative, named Project 180, is a four year, $154 million redesign of downtown streets, sidewalks, parks and plazas to improve appearance and make the central core more pedestrian friendly. Plans call for the addition of landscaping, public art, marked bike lanes, decorative street lighting, and additional on-street parking spaces. The first phase of streetscape construction for Project 180 began along Reno in August 2010. Other portions of the phase one streetscape began in late 2010 and includes construction on East Main Street, North Walker, Sheridan, North Robinson, Dean A McGee, North Harvey, and NW 5th Street. Also included in the first phase of Project 180, and nearing completion, is the dramatic transformation of the Myriad Botanical Gardens. Plans call for changes throughout the garden, including the addition of a grand performance lawn, a children's discovery garden and play area, water features, an ice skating rink, a restaurant, a dog release area and the addition of a new grand entrance to the Crystal Bridge Conservatory. One of the biggest changes to the Myriad Botanical Gardens was the re-glazing of the 22 year-old Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory. After re-painting, the Conservatory's aging acrylic panels were replaced with new more durable clear panels. The Myriad Gardens and Crystal Bridge closed for construction beginning April 26, 2010 with portions reopening April 25, 2011 in time for the 2011 Festival of the Arts. A few of the renovations inside the Myriad Gardens remain closed for construction with an anticipated completion for fall of 2011.Phase two of the streetscape construction began July 2011 and includes Hudson, North Robinson, Sheridan, Colcord, Couch and Walker. This phase will include the renovation of both the grand lawn at City Hall and Bicentennial Park, located in front of the Civic Center Music Hall. Construction is slated to be completed by January 2014. The improvements are being paid for through Tax Increment Financing (TIF) from construction of the Devon Tower ($115 million) and General Obligation Bonds passed in the 2007 bond election ($24,585,000). http://okc180.com/

Ochocinco and Albert Hanesworth to the Patriots?I guess if any team has a shot with older or more controversial figures its the Pats!Brady to Ocho hmmmm.... sounds weird!

^^Fair enough!The South side is the Lawn area which will have an auditorium and landscaping but the West side is built right up on street level and has ground level retail and a 10 story parking garage,The East side butts up against OKC's first highrise the Colcord(built in 1910) Hotel which Devon owns and will be connected to the tower.The North side connects with the 440'ft Oklahoma tower and shares a skybridge!Before this tower was built all that stood was two parking garages and a parking lot in the same exact area,Devon didnt create a superblock but just built on an exsisting one!
