Instead, Oklahoma City will be the home of the Boardwalk at Bricktown, which will tower over the city’s tallest building the Devon Tower, KOKO reported.
The Devon Tower is 844 feet tall. The Legends Tower at the Boardwalk at Bricktown will be 1,907, more than twice the height. The area will be home to four buildings, including the Legends, and three others that will be 345 feet tall, People magazine reported.
The height honors the year that Oklahoma became the 46th state, developers AO said in a news release.
The district will have 1,776 apartments, two hotels, stores and restaurants. The Legend will also have a restaurant, bar and observation deck, Business Insider reported.
The company is also requesting a variance to the current zoning restrictions to allow it to get to that height.
If built, it won’t just be the tallest structure in the city, or the state of Oklahoma, it will also be the tallest tower in the country and the one of tallest buildings in the world.
The current tallest building in the U.S. is One World Trade Center in New York City and measures 1,776 feet tall, People magazine reported. The tallest building in the world is Dubai’s Burj Khalifa which is 2,716 feet, 6 inches tall, according to Guinness World Records.
The building is still just a dream as construction has not yet begun. The developer said that if there isn’t the demand to fill it, the plans can be changed and the building shortened since construction won’t start for a year or more, KOKO reported.

South Carolina 93, Oklahoma 81: The Sooners keep it competitive early behind Aaliyah Chavez. But the Gamecocks’ size and depth prove too much in the fourth quarter. Dawn Staley hasn’t lost in the Sweet 16 since 2019 and that won’t change Saturday.

Rapper and hip hop icon Snoop Dogg is set to produce and star in a feature film that will be shot in Oklahoma this year.
“God of the Rodeo” is based on a 1998 book from New York-based journalist and author Daniel Bergner, who reported on inmates competing in a controversial rodeo inside Louisiana’s Angola Prison in the 1960s. According to Deadline, the film centers around Bucckey, an inmate serving a life sentence who “finds a glimmer of redemption” through the rodeo. Snoop’s role has not yet been announced.
The film is directed by Rosalind Ross, who is best known for writing, directing and executive producing “Father Stu.” Snoop will produce alongside Sara Ramker, Giannina Scott and Ridley Scott, Deadline reports.
The Oklahoma Department of Commerce confirmed to News 9 on Friday “God of the Rodeo” was pre-approved for the state’s film incentive program through Oklahoma Film + Music.
Filming is scheduled in Oklahoma for June 15 through July 31, according to Oklahoma Film + Music’s website. The website also lists Tulsa-based production company Rebellium Films as working on the film. Filming locations have not been announced yet.
