    Devon Tower

    Devon tower construction in OKC nears milestone
    "The Journal Record" Oklahoma City Feb 10, 2011 by Brianna Bailey

    The Devon Energy world headquarters tower will officially be the tallest building in the city when workers pour the foundation for the 33rd floor in the next few weeks. The project is set to reach its peak employment level at about the same time, with approximately 1,000 workers on-site each day. Building crews recently started doing interior construction and electrical work on the lower floors of the 50-story tower. "The tower almost becomes a timeline of construction, with the completed construction at the bottom and as you look up, you almost go back in time," said John Wood, vice president at Hines, the developer for the Devon tower.

    The building gains about one story every five days. Columns of reinforced steel on the structure stretch up to the 32nd floor this week and workers have just laid the foundation for the 31st floor. An average of 900 workers are employed at the $750 million construction site each day. Construction on the tower was briefly held up by the recent snowstorms, but weather over the past several months has been mostly fair and work on the tower is still running a little ahead of schedule, Wood said.

    Wood said construction will be completed sometime during the third quarter of 2012. Devon will begin moving employees into the new building during the first quarter of 2012, while interior construction of the building is still ongoing, said Devon spokeswoman Alesha Leemaster. "As completed floors are released to us we'll fill those until the building is full, but it will take six to nine months," Leemaster said.
