Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. From Oklahoma to Texas, cities across the United States are engaging in a vertical race, with new skyscraper projects aiming to redefine their skylines. Currently in the lead is Oklahoma City's Legends Tower, a 1,907-foot structure that would be the tallest building in the U.S. upon completion. However, other towers in New York, Austin, Detroit, and Bellevue are advancing their own bids. Why It Matters The race for the world's tallest building is an international one, though the U.S. does not currently have a competitor that could beat either the current tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, or the Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia, which will be the tallest in the world upon completion.

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. More: There's a ton of construction happening in OKC. Here are some of the biggest projects so far 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.
