The Devon Energy Center is a 50-story corporate skyscraper in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It is tied as the 43rd tallest building in the US. The construction for this building began in October 6, 2009, and was completed in October 2012. The tower is located next to the historic Colcord Hotel, which Devon currently owns, on Sheridan Avenue between Hudson and Robinson Avenues. The office tower, a six-story rotunda and a six-story podium structure covers more than 1,800,000 square feet and was initially estimated to cost $750 million; however, the first formal appraisal of the tower and complex came in at only $707.9 million. Now it serves as the northern anchor of Oklahoma City's aggressive Core to Shore downtown redevelopment project. I really like this building because it almost resembles to the skyscrapers in Dubai absolutely amazing. Proud to have such a unique skyscraper in Oklahoma.
