How is this even economical?

Supertall buildings are usually in already super-dense downtown areas where the economics can support the more expensive supertall building because space is at a premium.

Space is not at that kind of a premium in Oklahoma City. The current tallest building is the 50-story Devon Tower at 844 feet. This new skyscraper would be more than twice that.

And if you look at the renderings, it's surrounded by buildings that are mostly five stories tall.

I mean... huh? It doesn't make any sense.
