Oklahoma City is set to be the surprising location of the United States' next tallest skyscraper. The proposed Boardwalk at Bricktown would reach a dizzying 1,907 feet high, making it not only the tallest building in the US but the fifth tallest building in the world.
Developers initially proposed a building of 1,750 feet, but have now revised their request to add an extra 157 feet. The development will include three huge towers each 345 feet tall, with the fourth and tallest tower on top, called the Legends Tower. The top of the Legends Tower will consist of a public observatory, a restaurant and a bar where visitors can look over a sweeping view across Oklahoma.
Currently the tallest building in America is One World Trade in NYC at a formidable 1,776 ft, followed by Centra Park Tower at 1,550 ft and in third place is Chicago's Willis Tower. The proposed new skyscraper would dwarf them all but it would still come in at 800ft shorter than the world's largest building, Dubai's Burj Khalifa.
