New Oklahoma City Skyscraper

[jgb191]

Anybody know what skyscraper replaced the Alfred Murrah building (that was destroyed in 1995)?


According to 2022, Oklahoma City has almost 700K people, compared to Boston (650K), Las Vegas (660K), Washington (670K), Detroit (620K), Baltimore (570K), and Atlanta (497K).

Oklahoma City is larger than World-class cities like Detroit and Atlanta, so yeah I would believe you if you told me that OKC is a major city by now.  Last time I was in OKC was almost a quarter-century ago, and surely it has grown by lots since this century began.

The site of the Murrah building is a memorial so the answer to your first question is 'none'.

OKC's city limits population is deceiving because it's geographically large.  Better to look at its MSA population which is about 1.4 million making it the 42nd largest 'city' in the US.
Compare that to
Boston: 4.9 million
Las Vegas: 2.3 million
Washington: 6.3 million
Detroit: 4.3 million
Baltimore: 2.8 million
Atlanta: 6.3 million

So OKC is still a "small" city in this context.

I think this is the first time in about 40 years someone has called Detroit "world-class".

Just as long as he doesn't manage to hoodwink the city out of TIF money with this nonsense.

A new federal building was built on a different site, though:
