Oklahoma City is preparing for an architectural transformation as the Legends Tower, set to be the tallest building in America, breaks ground in June. With an impressive height of 1,907 feet, the tower will surpass the iconic One World Trade Center and become the sixth tallest building in the world.
The tower will be a part of the Boardwalk at Bricktown complex, a vibrant hub that will include two Hyatt hotels, a diverse array of restaurants, retail shops, and residential units. The complex will offer a dynamic urban experience, catering to the needs of residents, visitors, and businesses alike.
AO Architects, the firm helming the project alongside Matteson Capital, expressed their delight at the project’s approval. The managing partner of AO, Rob Budetti, emphasized the project’s significance in Oklahoma City’s evolution into a global destination and a symbol of its bold aspirations for the future.
The Legends Tower will not only redefine Oklahoma City’s skyline but also contribute to the city’s economic growth and global recognition. The tower, along with the Boardwalk at Bricktown complex, is poised to become a landmark of architectural excellence and urban innovation, setting a new standard for Oklahoma City and beyond.
Originally designed to stand at 1,750 feet, the Legends Tower’s height was increased to 1,907 feet. Matteson Capital’s statement highlighted the symbolic significance of the height, honoring the year Oklahoma became the 46th state of the United States. The tower’s design pays homage to Oklahoma’s rich history while propelling the state into a future of architectural and economic prosperity.
