Tallest skyscraper in OKC, new condos: Here are 4 developments still set to start in 2025
From the Women's College World Series to the NBA Finals to the 2028 Summer Olympics, Oklahoma City has been receiving a lot of attention recently, but with all this attention comes the question, what's the deal with all of the construction?
Oklahoma City grew by 7,589 residents in 2023, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, making the overall population 702,767 compared to the population of 695,178 residents in 2022, and with growth and popularity comes construction.
The 20th largest city in America has several large developments that are set to start later this year, including one that would require the largest crane in the history of Oklahoma if not the entire country.
Here are a few projects to expect in the 405 in 2025.

The Boardwalk at Bricktown project has drawn worldwide attention due to a promised second phase consisting of the tallest skyscraper in the United States.
California developer Scot Matteson recently told The Oklahoman he is planning to start construction later this year on the four-tower development in Lower Bricktown. The development plan consists of two apartment towers to sit atop a parking and retail podium and a 22-story Hyatt Dream Hotel.
A second phase has drawn worldwide attention ― the 1,907-foot-tall Legends Tower, if built, would be the tallest tower in the country consisting of apartments and a second hotel. Matteson previously announced start dates in 2023 and 2024. He has yet to file building permits with the city.
Construction of the Berry Rock Building is set to start later this year at NE Fifth Street and Walnut Avenue. The four-story building will be home to Prism Bank and Berry Rock, a residential financing and development company. The site is on former state highway easement between entry and exit ramps.
Grant Willoughby, developer of the Spaniard in Midtown, said construction will start this summer on the first phase of 1500 Broadway, consisting of 153 apartments, one restaurant and two retail spaces. Work on a second phase of 118 apartments, one restaurant and one retail space will begin at a later date.
A groundbreaking ceremony was recently held for construction of a new home for the family justice center that provides help for victims of domestic violence. The building along Hudson Avenue between NW 11th Street and NW 12th Street is being built as part of MAPS 4.
Services at the future $42 million new home for Palomar will include 24-hour victim assistance, therapy and trauma treatment, acute medical services, comprehensive child services, educational services, a food pantry and other related wraparound services.

Oklahoma Sooners included in Softball America's early WCWS projection
Oklahoma Sooners included in Softball America's early WCWS projection The Oklahoma Sooners didn't reach the Women's College World Series championship series for just the second time in the last decade. They were just a few plays away from extending their semifinal series against Texas Tech, but the Red Raiders came away with the clutch hits to eliminate the four-time defending national champions. Though many have claimed an end to the Sooners dynasty, the reality is it's just a bump in the road. Oklahoma will be back in Oklahoma City next year. They bring back a talented roster and add the nation's No. 1 recruiting class in 2025. On3 and Softball America's Brady Vernon believes the Sooners will be one of the eight teams to make it to the Women's College World Series in 2026. In his "Early 8," Vernon projected Oklahoma, along with Alabama, Florida State, Oregon, Texas, Nebraska, Texas Tech, and Tennessee, to make up the WCWS field in 2026. More: 2026 Women's College World Series way too early predictions Until the Sooners don't make it back to Oklahoma City, we will continue to predict them to be mainstays in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma projects to have nearly its entire lineup back next season, including Ella Parker, Kasidi Pickering, and Gabbie Garcia. The early transfer addition of former LSU All-American Sydney Berzon certainly helps. They bring back veteran Kierston Deal and talented rising sophomore Audrey Lowey. They will also have talented freshmen Sophia Bordi, Allyssa Parker and Berkley Zache available in the circle. - Vernon, Softball America for On3 The Sooners will still have a young corps of players leading the way in 2026. The addition of Sydney Berzon helps replace Sam Landry, but they need more of their pitching depth to step up next year so they aren't so reliant on the LSU transfer for every game in the postseason. If there's another area where they can improve, it's with runners on base and with runners in scoring position. Oklahoma had opportunities in their WCWS losses to Texas and Texas Tech but couldn't get the timely hits to rally against to of the stars of the tournament, Teagan Kavan and NiJaree Canady. They'll face the same challenges next year as Kavan, Canady, and Tennessee ace Karlyn Pickens all return for 2026. But another year with Ella Parker, Kasidi Pickering, Nelly McEnroe-Marinas, and Gabbie Garcia leading the lineup should continue to yield big numbers at the plate. Though the Sooners may not enter the 2026 season as the favorites to win the national title, you can bet they'll be one of the teams in the mix in Oklahoma City.

This is the basement price for OKC correlated to -9.5, as the line closed higher than this for both Game 1 and Game 2 with late action on the Thunder. I think [that late action] comes again and this closes around -415 or -420 consensus price, [so it's] worth it to be ahead.
