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.

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.
