All glass? While I love the look of the Devon Tower, I prefer Art Deco skyscrapers.

Yes! I love Art Deco architecture, and modern interpretations of Art Deco like in the photo above^ of Minneapolis with Wells Fargo Center in the "fire." Looks very similar to the GE Building in NYC. I love both of those towers.

I could definitely see Midfirst building a tower downtown. If the footprint was as big as one third of the corporate offices, that is six stories tall (x3=18) then add in Midland Mortgage six floors, but slim it down to the same size as one part of the home office and you get another 18 floors. Branch downstairs, board room, meeting rooms, room for expansion, etc and you get 40 floors or more.

I would love the tower to be about right there. Somewhere around 760 ft. It would even out the skyline a bit.

[skanaly]

Don't mean to be a bother, but how do you post pictures on this thread of something you've created on Google SketchUp??

[Pete]

skanaly, you have to put the photos out on the Internet somewhere (like photobucket.com -- free) and then link here.

This is what a mix of concepts, plans, idea's that has been introduced to OKC, with a little touch of my creativity!

[catch22]

Looks good.....pictures?

[skanaly]

Still trying to figure out how to do that! LOL

[jungmuny]

So you would just add a gallery to your gmail account by clicking on the photos tab on top. You could either post the link to the gallery or right click the image and and left click copy image location and paste that url link into the button for that when you submit your post. The button looks like a landscape painting of a tree to the right of the fonts/sizes menu.

I'm on photobucket now, and I'm just not able to attach the link...

[KayneMo]

I like to use tinypic.com. Very easy and you don't need to sign-in or anything!

[skanaly]

Now i got them! These are pictures of a mix of concepts, plans, and ideas. Also just some fantasy and creativity.

You guys might want to catch up on the latest news in The Oklahoman's business section....

[king183]

Here's the link to what Steve is talking about. Just to entice you:

"Beffort said another new corporate headquarters will be built downtown starting this year..."

I hope all of you know how much it pains me that I wasn't the one to get this quote.... but I'm glad it was someone on my team!

[shawnw]

If it's definitely starting this year, there should be an announcement soon-ish, right? Any intel on an announcement ETA, Steve? Even a ballpark expectation?

[catch22]

Architectural work and design must already be nearing completion for it to start this year. Just no one has said anything. Unless he means announced (start: starting the planning process) this year. I guess there is a difference in starting and breaking ground.

Could very well be. CLR, as they will probably outgrow the old Devon building quickly and was probably intentioned as a temporary home.

[catch22]

Cold very well be. CLR, as ET will probably outgrow the old Sevon building quickly and was probably intentioned as a temporary home.

It's not that late, last call isn't for a little while longer.... lol
