Would be great if someone could add this photo to Wikipedia List Of Tallest Buildings In The U.S. We will be tied at #33 tallest in the U.S. With the GE building in NYC and Chase building in Chicago. (850 ft. each)

It can't be done yet. It states that the list in question is for completed buildings. Soon, grasshopper.

Devon is only 844 ft.

Is the cotton mill the cluster of white-ish looking buildings (UGLY) that are seen in the picture on page 357 to the left of the tower, south of the old Crosstown? Those need to be torn down...they look terrible while driving on the new I-40.

Yes that's it. It will be fun to see what gets put there. Hopefully a gas station and some residential facing the highway, maybe even office space fronting the boulevard. But time will tell..

I believe the city is wanting much higher density than a gas station and some residential.

[jungmuny]

There is a salvage yard on the other side of the highway, which would would make anything over maybe four stories on the southern part of property pretty undesirable. That's why I said a gas station but power to them.

In the C2S plans that will be gone as well.

I'm sort of a geek when it comes to what's happening downtown so it kinda surprises me when someone isn't aware of what's going on but I forget I have a rare obsession. LOL

[jungmuny]

But you would think if it is in the plans, it would have already been done, given that buying a large piece of land and demolishing it is one of the easiest things government can do compared to design, vetting, and building. But my bad!

Btw, I'm pretty sure that where a lot of the dust in Will's dust bowl Skydance video came from. That's several acres of dusty ground.

I used to love the cotton mill when I was a kid. They looked like huge shiny pyramids to me.

The entire city was hazy with dust that day.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Messing around downtown today and happened to have some free time and my camera with me, along with a UWA lens. Too bad it wasn't a better time of the day (light-wise) and there were no clouds.

Awesome photos! Thanks for sharing them.

Looks like they are just about done with the glass on the west side.

[Lazio85]

The west crane is coming down today! Great news for the completion of the exterior!

[Teo9969]

From a distance, it looks like the west crane is coming down as we speak...I'm probably wrong, but It certainly looks like it.

[Bellaboo]

Stunning photos......I like the tapering curve that starts on floor 35.

It looks like crap because it's cropped so heavily, and it being such a short focal-length lens (left the big zooms at home), but here's the view anyway. Yup...Aboot done.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

If I'd have brought my big cannon of a lens, I'd have been able to prove/disprove the Kit-Kat for lunch theory

Was out today around 2:30pm and the construction crews have started to disasemble the tower crane on the west side of the tower.

Wow, thanks Alonzo.

Very exciting but also a bit sad in a way.

[OKCisOK4me]

Wow, thanks Alonzo.

Very exciting but also a bit sad in a way.

I have a hole in my stomach, sincerely :-(

We may all need loss counseling once this project wraps up in a few months.


But with any luck, we'll have some new skyscrapers to obsess over in the near future.

[UnFrSaKn]

Wish I knew this in advance...Tomorrow's going to be ugly. It's too late today. Wed will be the next time I can try something.

[Dustin]

After seeing that PS'd photo of the tower without the cranes, I'm excited they are coming down!
