I live 20 miles away from the current tallest building in Oklahoma (Devon Tower). If I stand on my roof (for an unobstructed view) I can see it clearly.

This will be 1,907 ft tall vs 844 ft for the Devon Tower.

That's pretty incredible. I live in rural Appalachia so I'm only used to seeing mountains that way for the most part and the extreme flatness of the midwest has always been interesting to me. If this gets built I may have to check it out just for the distance views haha

If it's anything like this, I would say from quite a long ways: https://thelostogle.com/2024/01/02/tlo-unveils-plans-to-buil...

Having been to many (lived in one) Midwest cities - one block is hardly winning the battle or the war. It’s still 99% parking lots.

Where will all these occupants going to park?

in approximately 7.5 acres of parking ( assuming 2000 spaces, which is not likely enough, going by 1776 apartments alone )

it may be hard to get that in a below-grade deck

I would guess the very top would be about 50-60 miles to the horizon, depending on refraction. That assumes a perfectly clear day.

Oklahoma is about 4000 ft from the lowest point to the highest point.
