Devon Energy Center, Oklahoma City

The Devon Energy Center (also known as the Devon Tower) is a 50-story corporate skyscraper in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and is tied with Park Tower in Chicago as the 62nd tallest building in the United States. Construction began October 6, 2009, and was completed in October 2012.

The office tower, a six-story rotunda, and a six-story podium structure comprise more than 1,800,000 square feet (170,000 m2) 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. It serves as the northern anchor of Oklahoma City's aggressive Core to Shore downtown redevelopment project.

Devon World Headquarters LLC, a subsidiary of Oklahoma City-based Devon Energy Corporation, built the new skyscraper to replace their existing corporate office, which was located inside Mid America Tower, as well as other space the company were leasing in a number of office buildings in the central business district.

The Devon Energy Center was originally planned to be 54 stories and 925 feet (282 m) tall. However, subsequent space planning revisions—including a decision to locate the data center to a separate facility for security reasons—resulted in a reduced height to 844 feet (257 m), including 50 stories.

Devon Energy Center surpassed Chase Tower as the tallest building in Oklahoma City on March 10, 2011. On May 17, 2011 the Devon Energy Center became the tallest building in Oklahoma, rising above Tulsa's BOK Tower.

A topping-out ceremony was held on September 21, 2011, as the Devon Energy Center reached its final height.
