Oklahoma City Plans to Host America's Tallest Building

Despite Doubts, Local Support Grows for Proposed 1,907-Foot Legends Tower

California developer Scot Matteson plans to build a 1,907-foot tower in Oklahoma City, which would make it the tallest building in the U.S. and the fifth tallest in the world.
The proposed tower, named Legends Tower, is part of a larger development project in the city's Bricktown area, which includes residential, retail and entertainment spaces.
The project has received local support, with the Oklahoma City Council approving a record $200 million in tax increment financing to be paid after the first two apartment towers are built.
Despite the support, there are doubts about the feasibility of the project due to the city's size, the current demand for office space, and the prevalence of tornadoes in the region.
The developers need to get the project area rezoned for a taller building, as its current maximum allowed height is 300 feet.
