Oklahoma City Set to Build America's Tallest Skyscraper

The Legends Tower, planned at 1,907 feet, will surpass New York's One World Trade Center by over 130 feet.

  • Oklahoma City's planning commission has approved the Legends Tower, which will be the tallest building in the U.S. and the fifth tallest in the world.
  • The mixed-use skyscraper will feature residential units, a luxury hotel, and a boardwalk, with construction expected to begin this summer.
  • The building is designed to withstand tornadoes, featuring thick concrete walls and tornado-resistant windows.
  • Local skepticism remains about the feasibility of such a large project in a city with a relatively small population.
  • The project, estimated at $1.6 billion, has secured full funding and aims to transform Oklahoma City into a global destination.
