Boardwalk at Bricktown / Dream Hotel

Pete, get Catholic Sooner and whomever else is guilty the heck outta here.

I know these will get deleted and hell I might get my account removed but 100% worth it. SO tired of brainless sheep like you Catholic sooner demonizing PUBLIC SCHOOLS and covering up sexual abuse in your cult of a religion. Make it make sense.

Let’s get away from the personal attacks. And I’m being 100% serious here and sincere. If you would like to meet up for a beer or something and you’re in Oklahoma City I’d be totally willing. But do you honestly think that it’s OK to have corn in school libraries?

I’m simply defending myself in my face here. I’m not the one that brought up the politics or name

Guys, seriously shut up with this crap and move on. You’re ruining this thread acting like children.

[Bali_Sooner]

Love this. I hope they build it. If not 134, 100 would be cool. "OKC100" or "Century Tower"

[Tyson]

Holy cow my friends. You all know better.

[king183]

This could be said about Strawberry Fields too. Been in the works for years now. City already passed TIF. The big difference here is the developer is reputable and has a track record of success and isn't some random person who is being sued for fraud.

FYI, Chris, I know you agree with this. I was sloppily pointing out that the key variable in my mind is who is behind a development and whether there is experience and proven credibility there. From what I’ve seen, this group looks legit (as compared to Pat Salame, for example).

6 posts since 2008. That is badass. Legendary.

Might as well make it 1889 ft and call it Land Run Tower

What is your point? All Catholics are pedophiles?
The ironic thing is that teachers are more likely to sexually harass a child than a priest is

That backfired huh

I take issue with this plenty of teachers would and have taken a bullet for children under their care. Public schools are the single greatest institution this country has. So Ryan Walter’s “finds” one graphic novel in one library that’s apparently no one else has found. Public schools helped pay for my $400k home. Educate my Dr wife. Maybe you should consider that other tax payers don’t want their kids being subjected to some creepy Duggar family fundy school.

It's not really proposed, it's more like it's an ambition of sorts, a demonstration of what's in the mind of the developer. If they ever actually go through with it, it would be substantially sized down.

Big if. I doubt the fourth tower comes to fruition. Let’s concentrate on the plausible ones first

What does this have to do with the topic?

[ABCOKC]

How about no phallic imagery in the schools or in the skyline?

[jerrywall]

And meanwhile, all of the city subreddits have been slowly transitioning into Nextdoor…

Funnily enough the Edmond sub is fairly drama free.

Now this is a good read, lol

Yes that was funny

best part;

That may seem comically excessive, over-the-top, and a bit too much like a Sim City arcology, but you have to remember – For the last 12 years, the OKC skyline has looked like a giant ____ protruding out of a field of tiny _____, so I guess we might as well add a huge _____ to it.

My wife's comment


"It looks like Bricktown is compensating for something."

I'd love for us to get a new skyscraper though. Especially one focused on residences.

I second this

I just can't see this ever happening, but if it does, well that would be damned cool. Sort of like Devon, it will stick out like a sore thumb compared to the other buildings in downtown. If you thought the Devon Tower was a big middle finger, well what's this one? lol.

It says, it's dependent on the success of the other towers. We've yet to really build any downtown residential to the scale of the first 3 towers in this project. Conversions are not the same thing, neither are the suburban apartment complexes in Bricktown/Deep Deuce. So like they said, we'll see. Do we have enough market draw to get anywhere near this? I'm skeptical myself. One of the ever-present challenges is that downtown is in OKC Public Schools. I believe, specifically feeding in to Douglas? Yes we have some charters around. But honestly, i'm not living in downtown without a better education option for my children. I think that's going to be a big hindrance.

This location is within the capture zone for John Rex Charter Elementary and Middle School which are a draw for some parents based on waiting lists to get in from people not in the attendance zone. They would like to add a high school at some point. https://johnrexschool.org/wp-content...s-20200108.pdf

You guys just need to see this person is not a serious person. This is like a 5th grader jumping curbs with his bike saying he’s going to enter the x games and compete in the bmx circuit. This guys company doesn’t have a working website from what I can tell and his biggest developments are renovations. I’m sorry but I’ve seen this way too many times. Believe me. Do not set your expectations high

[oklanime]

While the fourth 1700+ ft tower definitely feels like a pie in the sky project and if built will likely be at least half as tall, the rest of the project has all the signs of being built, and being built fast. I can see it being complete in the next three years. And please, please lets get that fourth tower. Could you imagine walking out of Eischen's Bar in Okarche, after a night of drinking and eating fried chicken, and easily seeing this thing glowing in the distance?

They claim Larry Nichols and the downtown development board wouldn’t approve it because it would overshadow the Devon Tower. I call bullsh!t. They would approve it if it was seriously proposed and build permits submitted.

Furthermore they ask who would live in a building so high. Lots of people live in very tall buildings so I’d guess a lot of people would. Not only that it’ll still be the second tallest residential building in the world when built. I bet it’s successful if built. I will personally guarantee OKC as my second home here as opposed to Edmond if it’s built. I want a unit as high as possible.

If anyone here is ever been on a new modern super tall then you’ll know how fast these elevators move.

[Sonicthunder]

It’s cool and all but i think at most it will be 70 stories..more likely the 40-60 range

[soonerguru]

Hey, if being stable means not wanting my kids to see porn in the classroom, call me stable

Oh FFS

[mugofbeer]

I think this is being designed for PPanda!

[mugofbeer]

Ummmm...... no. It's a joke.
