Plans for Oklahoma City’s ambitious Legends Tower project are still moving forward, but developers say market demand will ultimately determine whether the nearly 2,000-foot skyscraper becomes a reality. While discussions with the FAA continue, the bigger question is whether there will be enough demand for the tower’s residential and commercial space.
For now, developers are focusing on Phase 1, which includes retail, entertainment, apartments, a hotel, and parking infrastructure in the growing Bricktown district. The project is being driven by optimism surrounding Oklahoma City’s continued population growth, job growth, and major developments like the new Thunder arena and MAPS 4 projects.
The takeaway? While the iconic tower remains uncertain (unlikely?), significant investment is still headed to downtown Oklahoma City, including a new area for the OKC Thunder.
