Oklahoma City is poised to make history as it embarks on the construction of Legends Tower, a towering skyscraper that will claim the title of America’s tallest building. Standing at 1,907 feet, Legends Tower will surpass iconic structures such as One World Trade Center in New York City and redefine the nation’s skyline. The ambitious development, spearheaded by Matteson Capital, will transform Oklahoma City’s urban landscape and create a vibrant mixed-use complex. Upon completion, Legends Tower will not only double the height of Oklahoma City’s current tallest building but also etch its name among the world’s tallest architectural wonders.
Oklahoma City is planning to build the tallest tower in the United States, known as the Boardwalk at Bricktown.

The project is still in its early stages, but the Oklahoma City Planning Commission has already given the green light to the proposal. However, skepticism remains about the viability of constructing such a monumental building, given its proposed height and the cost of such an immense project.
