The Tallest Skyscraper In The United States Is Apparently Going To Be Built In Oklahoma City

Huh.

From the architecture/design mavens at Dezeen, March 16

This week the tallest skyscraper in the US secured full funding 

This week on Dezeen, we revealed that the Legends Tower in Oklahoma – a 581-metre-high skyscraper set to be the tallest in the US – has secured the full funding needed for its construction.

According to reporting in local news outlet The Oklahoman, the supertall skyscraper is fully funded as of early March.

Designed for Oklahoma City, it is planned to be the tallest in the USA and would form the centre of the Boardwalk at Bricktown development. If built, it would be the fifth-tallest skyscraper in the world....

....MUCH MORE

It almost sounds as if some local Chamber of Commerce boosterism took on a life of its own.
