Nice try on the dog whistle BSky. Nice try.

This is why I said people are 'surprised' when they come to actually visit OKC. The media, even local, seems to portray OKC as smaller than it is nor not having attractions of the largest city in its...

there is not one supertall in Seattle, so how is Seattle deserving Legends Tower (which would be more than twice as tall as our tallest too) - come off of it. We have a supertall proposal, for years,...

the city actually looks to becoming quite dense from those pics, Not even including Boardwalk yet.

arguably the best site in my opinion, if they can't get anything downtown to work/fit.

i said 'litttle to no' parking, or 'integrated' parking. The site on the north shore is slim enough for just the hotel tower(s), so parking would be minimal or underground/integrated into the first...

i dont see anybody here getting histerical if it happens or not. people are just excited about a large scale project hitting OKC's radar. Nothing wrong with that. Believe me, people here would be...

As to the concrete, what's taking them so long? OKC Thunder was going to be in the playoffs, since at least February.

Not sure why wait until April to start preparing the area. ?.

Love the Paycom banner pic. Remember when the arena was expanded, they used KD's pic there.

Nice to see the TEAM recognized and promoted.

IDK how to feel about the apartment complex and the parking garage. Like that there's a garage and that it isn't fronting the lake, but it looks so plain and blocks potential views from a large...

Hope they develop the south sore area as well, connecting the development to Riversports. Would love to see a hotel or two there, fronting the river and interstate, with little-to-no parking or it...

I think it is perfectly OK to be excited about a new skyscraper development in your city. Can you IMAGINE if this was being proposed in Seattle (my city)? Or Vancouver?

Or Chicago? Or NY?. Any...

In all fairness, the wiki author(s) cite sources on Legends Tower and the rest of the development. Ironically, they got the naming of the other two towers wrong; they say 'Dream Hotel project' 'Res 1...

I'm so glad that the leaders don't fall for these very uninformed arguments about weather, natural and un-natural disasters, whetever comes to mind - arguments trying to kill development. It is very...

Maybe 'Yard House' was removed due to t'heir relizing 'The Yard' development being nearby.

As for the Vegas elements shown in the recent renderings, the developer has always indicated this would...

^ Exactly. They chose to live 10 miles out for a reason. In OKC, you have that choice - to be away from the noise and traffic that IS at the city center.

So, it makes sense for this types of...

ditto

bison, i don't think anyone is advocating for the amp to be in the downtown skyscraper area. Im not sure if there's any examples of this other than in Chicago, which is extremely successful btw.

I...

I think that’s the key, if you’re in a dense suburban area then be sure it’s office and not residential; if it can’t be in a designated entertainment district. To me, the only location in west metro...

response from the developer seems to indicate they are willing to pursue other cites in the city/metro that may be a better fit.

Perhaps there's a way to impress on them the value of having this...

thanks Pete and Loco for the clarifications and additional information on the process. I did cite you two on the national forums for the great work and prospectives you've given so it can be received...

so givenn there are no design district regulations for the site, what are the chances that Planning Commission approves the height variance?

also - is it just the PC that approves or does City...

Grrreat!

it is nice to have big companies in different parts of the city. Yes, downtown needs to be the #1 destination, but we should have companies throughout.

TBH, I'd love to see Paycom move to the old...
