This has to be a PR stunt. Similar thing happened in Denver with a proposed supertall. A lot of press but in reality it was no where close to reality. ---

Denver has been trying to get to 1,000 feet for over a decade. Then comes the financing and tenant reality. Oklahoma City is going to go almost double that? No way no how. They are going to find like 1,000 uber wealthy people just to fill the residential piece. ---

Yah I mean if you were to bet money on this rising, you would be crazy to do so. But it will be absolutely hilarious if it does actually get built, and I for one would be rooting for it the whole way. ---

I find it amusing that people say it can be done but ask why. I ask, why not? Still though, this project has the zoning hurdles to get past. Iā€™m sure there will be some Karen on the board who doesnā€™t like it.
