Wow. That is amazing 😃 I just figured out the other day that the Devon energy center is actually higher than the one world trade center in NYC. The Devon energy center is 844 ft + 1201 ft above sea level and the one world trade center is 1776 ft +33 ft above sea level. The Devon energy center is about 236 ft higher. The very top of a building in NYC that is 1168 ft high is even with the ground in OKC. It's hard to believe that OKC is 1201 ft above sea level because it's flat. OKC is actually very high.
Wichita, KS needs either a new taller building or a tall icon. Somewhere around 40 to 45 stories and 550 to 600 feet tall. Though Wichita lacks taller buildings we do have The Epic Center which rises 387 feet above street level. It has a 15 foot antenna that is not counted but the building is likely at least 400 feet with the tallest antenna.
I helped laid the water, sewer and Storm drains under the Devon tower. When we were done, it was like the following week the building was done. It was definitely one thing that blew my mind. This building was built fast compare to some other iconic scrapers we see today I'm NY and Chicago.
This is such a great video! I just found out that Picard Chilton is designing a skyscraper in Omaha, Ne. This is such a great video, there is so much obvious effort, and it has aged really well.
Emotional Bread lol google isn’t making a headquarters there. That’s still here in the San Francisco Bay Area in Silicon Valley. They are making a Google village in San Jose, and the headquarters will remain in Mountain View.
the Devon building is one hell of a building...I remember driving to OKC and not knowing it had been built and it just rose up from the priarie...wew lad
@@californiamade5608 the devon energy center would be the 3rd tallest in San Francisco. The tallest building in San Francisco is the Salesforce tower at 1070 ft tall. The Devon energy center is actually higher than the Salesforce tower and even higher than the one world trade center in NYC(tallest building in USA). The Devon energy center is 844ft tall + 1201 ft above sea level. The one world trade center in NYC is 1776 ft + 33 ft above sea level. The Devon energy center is actually 236 ft higher than the one world trade center in NYC. The very top of a building in NYC that is 1168 ft tall would be even with the ground in OKC. The Salesforce tower is 1070 ft tall + 52ft above sea level. That means that the Devon energy center in OKC is actually 923 ft higher than the Salesforce tower in San Francisco. The very top of a building in San Francisco would have to be 1149 ft high to be even with the ground in OKC. That means that the ground in OKC is actually 79 feet higher than the Salesforce tower which is the tallest building in San Francisco. How are you doing down there San Francisco?
@@davidsimon1324 above sea level doesn’t have shit to do with the fact that it’s still shorter than Salesforce Tower in San Francisco. Once the 910 foot tower in SF is completed, devon tower would be 4th tallest in SF. It doesn’t matter above sea level because that’s not how a building is measured. Above sea level isn’t part of construction when a building is leveled from ground level to the highest peak in the sky. Quit trying to inform people about sea level bullshit because it doesn’t work like that. No building in the world is ever measured with above sea level being included. Please get informed correctly.

Oklahoma City is actually very high at 1201 ft above sea level.
I’ve always looked out the window and saw them working on this big masterpiece they call deven tower one day she/he got bullied because she wasn’t good enough so she/he started having these very scary dreams something in her/he dreams they would tell her to do things that made he/she have the power and all he/she wanted was the power because he/she never felt that before the lady who worked there asked her/he how may I help you
With the addition of the new Scissortail Park, Omni hotel, and the convention center downtown OKC looks a lot better nowadays, however energy companies in OKC like Devon and Chesapeake are doing pretty badly, sadly.
It is too tall for OKC skyline, it stands out all alone. they should have built it a little bit taller than it's tallest building unless they are planning to build more tall skyscrapers in the future.
I’m going to the vast restaurant for my birthday next month I’m so excited
That building is spectacular. It stands out, in OKC. NYC, Hong Kong & many cities have dazzling skyscrapers that are obscured by other buildings.
I got to help build the Devon tower. one of the coolest projects I have ever been apart of
Holder forever

Love this building
The Devon Tower totally dominates the OKC skyline. You can see it from a far. And it’s a unique building to look at.

Good for Oklahoma City 👏.
Now Wichita, KS needs to build a 43 story 650 foot tower that looks like Devon Tower.
A beautiful structure!

Thank you and glad you enjoyed
Is there anymore sky scrapers in the works for Oklahoma City
aqua 1976 nope
Google is going to make a headquarters here, and the Omni Hotel is under construction
Emotional Bread lol google isn’t making a headquarters there. That’s still here in the San Francisco Bay Area in Silicon Valley. They are making a Google village in San Jose, and the headquarters will remain in Mountain View.
The only other new skyscraper is Bank of Oklahoma building next door, and a high rise hotel (Omni).
I love the devon tower
I visited okc recently, it had been 10 years since I've visited but when I saw the skyscraper it was pretty cool
Winter Garden of the World Financial Center is my favorite structure in America, Great choice to model after.
the Devon building is one hell of a building...I remember driving to OKC and not knowing it had been built and it just rose up from the priarie...wew lad
Mason A it’s not that hell of a building lol it would look small in San Francisco’s skyline

Very well done. Many thanks for the historical videos about Oklahoma.
Thank you
It's a beautiful building.
Can i get hired to work here please!

By that standard, any skyscraper, or single story structure, in Denver is higher than the Devon Tower.
Now it’s going to be surpassed by the new legends tower sometime. Poor Devon center ):
I love it.
Very good job!! Waaaay ahead of Sacramento...
David Mayhew lol Sacramento? It struggles from being so close to San Francisco. Which outdoes Oklahoma in many ways.
I went inside the Devon energy tower
I’ve always looked out the window and saw them working on this big masterpiece they call deven tower one day she/he got bullied because she wasn’t good enough so she/he started having these very scary dreams something in her/he dreams they would tell her to do things that made he/she have the power and all he/she wanted was the power because he/she never felt that before the lady who worked there asked her/he how may I help you
If you where to put the devon tower next to the world trade center towers it would be right in the middle
Built when oil prices were very high....
I have a fam member that works there!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is dominating lol. Sticks out of our whole skyline lol. Our metro is tiny.
