It's just 3 hrs from Dallas where my son lives. I might come to visit and see it myself.
I would think that the more people move there, the better for the industry and prosperity.
Nichols Hills and Gaillardia are wealthy areas. Other affluent neighborhoods in Oklahoma City include Heritage Hills, Mesta Park, Edgemere, and Crown Heights.
However, the cost of living in Oklahoma City is 13% lower than the national average, due to low prices for groceries, utilities, and transportation. So, living there might be appealing to many.
But generally, Oklahoma still remains one of the poorest states in the US.
Having lived in DFW I beg to differ. I have no clue where you find COL in OKC lower to DFW. Actually - the opposite.
3 hours from Dallas will be pushing it.
I will gladly show you poor places. I mean dirt poor in Europe, PNC, DC, MD, VA, AL, GA, TX and OK. Let's keep OK one of the poorest states but also keep Californians and their friends out. At least with all the support programs available to Oklahomans we have a state budget in the black.
I am happy that you're enjoying living there and doing well, but those are facts.
Can't post any of those links here, but you can Google:
"cost of living in Oklahoma City is 13% lower than the national average"
or post a contradictory statement.

Building that tall is consuming lots of space for elevators and stairs.
Yes, the rent will be very high. The views not so spectacular (flat land with little going on).
Except for when one of those giant supercell storms rolls through the area. That would be pretty cool to watch from high up.
Very weird decision for Oklahoma City, though. Dallas would make much more sense.

When they move into a state, they don't bring in higher incomes. But they drive up the prices so the locals can no longer to afford to live there. Saw it in Colorado. Now seeing it here in Tennessee.
This is a highly ambitious, and pretty absurd proposal, honestly.
Who is renting and buying in this building if built? The views will be far and wide, of rolling, mostly flat prairie, which is a hard sell in general.
There will be scant amenities surrounding the tower right away, and hardly any density in terms of other buildings, retail/grocery/shopping, etc.
While I don't necessarily disagree that this is a boondoggle... the appeal of the place will be that it will be right in the heart of the OKC downtown entertainment district... which is now robust enough that there is quite a bit of residential building going on already.
Whether or not that much space could be filled is a question. But a scaled down version of this project is easily feasible in this market at present. The real problem here is not weather... but rather the boom bust economy that we have here.

This will almost certainly not be built.
