The
Oklahoma City Council (NPR)
voted this week (
NYT gift) to clear the way for the
1,907 foot (
Popular Science)
Legends Tower (Master Design Statement .pdf), which would be the tallest building in the US. It may be
'impropable' (
Architectural Record), a
'PR stunt' (NPR station KOSU), or even
'sheer fantasy' (OKC Free Press),
especially (
The Oklahoman) in a state that has seen
103 tornadoes (National Weather Service) in 2024. It would definitely be expensive--
developers (developers' site) say they have $1b in financing lined up.
