Plans to build the tallest skyscraper in the United States are taking shape in an unlikely metropolis: Oklahoma City.
Developers at a real estate company are adjusting an already ambitious plan to build the Boardwalk at Bricktown Towers by several hundred feet to bring the building to a height of 1,907 feet – which would make it the tallest in the country, the Oklahoma City Free Press reports.
“The symbolic elevation honors the year Oklahoma was admitted as the 46th state of the United States,” Matteson Capital said in a statement.
The firm’s initial application had the tallest of the building’s four towers reach 1,750 feet, which would make it the second tallest building in the country behind Manhattan’s Freedom Tower.
Matteson Capital said Monday it intends to request a variance from the city’s zoning board to build the mammoth project. If approved, the structure would be the fifth tallest in the world.

Plans for the structure consisted of three towers, each about 345 feet tall, and a fourth tower jutting 1,907 feet into the sky, dominating the unusual Oklahoma City skyline.
This mixed-use project covers 5 million square feet. Plans include 1,776 residential units, two Hyatt hotels, condominiums and 110,000 square feet of commercial and community use space.
The top floor of the super-tall tower will have a restaurant, bar and observation deck, according to Matteson Capital.
Bricktown Tower will be the 5th tallest building in the world if built.
However, city officials told the Oklahoma City Free Press that the company needed city officials to rezone the property instead of simply asking for a variance.
Oklahoma City, home to about 680,000 people as of the 2020 census, is one of America’s fastest-growing cities, jumping to the nation’s 20th most populous city last year.
