The Legends Tower, a skyscraper set to be built in Oklahoma City, has received approval for a height increase, making it taller than the One World Trade Center. The building will have 1,907 feet, making it the tallest in America and the sixth tallest in the world. The tower will be part of a complex called Boardwalk at Bricktown, which will also include two Hyatt hotels, various restaurants, retail, and residential units. The project is scheduled to break ground in June.
Billionaire hedge fund titan Ken Griffin is investing in a towering 62-story skyscraper at 350 Park Ave., aiming to revitalize Midtown Manhattan and lure workers back to the office after the COVID-19 pandemic. The skyscraper, designed by Foster + Partners, will feature a vibrant public concourse and incorporate air rights from St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Saint Bartholomew’s Church to support their maintenance. Mayor Eric Adams hailed the project as a symbol of Midtown Manhattan’s resurgence, while Griffin emphasized the tower’s allure for in-person work. The skyscraper is slated for completion by 2032 and is expected to boost New York City’s status as a global business hub.
