Devon World Headquarters Tower is an approved 51-story premier corporate skyscraper under construction in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Construction began October 6, 2009, and it is expected to be complete in 2012.[1] The tower is to be located next to the historic Colcord Hotel (which Devon currently owns) near the intersection of Hudson and Sheridan Avenues. The 51-story office tower, six-story rotunda, and six-story podium structures will amass over 1,800,000 square feet (170,000 m2) and is estimated to cost $750 million.[1]
History
Devon World Headquarters LLC, a subsidiary of Oklahoma City-based Devon Energy Corporation, is building the new signature headquarters skyscraper to replace their existing building, Mid America Tower, as well as other space the company is leasing in a number of office towers in the central business district.
Devon Tower was originally planned to be 54 stories and 282 metres/925 feet tall, however subsequent space planning revisions (including a decision to locate the data center to a separate facility) resulted in a shortened 274 metres/900 feet tall building including 51 stories. Upon completion, the skyscraper will be the tallest building in Oklahoma, surpassing Tulsa's BOK Tower.
Site preparation and demolition began October 6, 2009. The Holder Construction Company will be the primary General Contractor, and Flintco, Inc. will be the minority partner in the joint venture. It is expected to be complete in early of 2013.
