The Reigning Champion: Devon Energy Center
That's right, folks, the Devon Energy Center, also known as the Devon Tower, stands tall (quite literally) at an impressive 844 feet (257 meters). Fun fact: upon completion in 2012, it dethroned not just the previous champ in Oklahoma City, but also the tallest building in the entire state! So next time you're in OKC, look up – you might just get a crick in your neck admiring this architectural titan.
Short Kings and Queens Need Not Apply (Just Kidding)
While the Devon Energy Center enjoys the penthouse view, Oklahoma City boasts a healthy selection of other skyscrapers vying for your attention. The Chase Tower and First National Center come in at a respectable second and third place, proving that OKC has got the whole height thing covered.
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.
But Wait, There's More! (The Future of Oklahoma City's Skyline)
Hold onto your Stetsons, folks, because Oklahoma City might be about to break the internet (well, at least the skyscraper enthusiast corners of it). The proposed Legends Tower has tongues wagging with its ambitious plans to become the tallest building in the entire United States. If approved, this behemoth would dwarf the Devon Energy Center and truly redefine the Oklahoma City skyline.
So, what does this all mean for the future of Oklahoma City? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure: things are looking up...way, way up!
