Devon Energy Center climbs 50 stories out of downtown Oklahoma City, the tallest building in the state. You can feel how deliberate its presence is: it has fewer floors than Tulsa's 52-story BOK Tower, yet it stands tied with Park Tower in Chicago as the 75th tallest in the United States — and at its completion it was ranked tied as the 39th tallest. Construction began October 6, 2009, and was completed in October 2012.
The complex is more than 1,800,000 square feet, including the office tower, a six-story rotunda, and a six-story podium, and was initially estimated to cost $750 million; the first formal appraisal recorded $707.9 million. This building was developed by Devon World Headquarters LLC, a subsidiary of Oklahoma City–based Devon Energy Corporation, to replace their prior office in the Mid America Tower. The tower anchors the northern end of Oklahoma City's Core to Shore downtown redevelopment.
Your spot on Sheridan Avenue, between Hudson and Robinson Avenues, puts the historic Colcord Hotel right at the tower's base, and Devon owns that too.
