Could the country's tallest skyscraper become an OKC reality? Developer talks funding, plans

Scot Matteson is doubling down on his insistence that not only can he build the country’s tallest skyscraper in Oklahoma City's Lower Bricktown, but that he now has the $1.5 billion development, including three other towers, fully financed to proceed on what is now a surface parking lot. 

Matteson’s vision for his “Boardwalk at Bricktown” started with an already ambitious mix of two 14-story hotels and an 18-story condominium tower. Matteson kept growing the plan, which now consists of two 34-story apartment and retail towers and one 34-story hotel tower. 

And then there is the Legends Tower, which Matteson originally pitched as the country’s second-tallest tower. But that apparently wasn’t tall enough for Matteson, who last month announced he was seeking to build the country’s tallest skyscraper by adding a spire that will bring the height to 1,907 feet.
