With 581 Meters and Four Interconnected Towers, the Boardwalk at Bricktown Complex in Oklahoma City Will Surpass the One World Trade Center and House Residences, Hotel, Shops, and Leisure Areas

What may soon become the tallest building in the U.S. has just received approval to be built with “unlimited height,” according to People magazine. The new record-holder, which will surpass the One World Trade Center, will not be erected in New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, but rather in Oklahoma City, in the heart of the country.

The Future American Giant

Called Boardwalk at Bricktown, the complex was designed by the company AO and developed by Matteson Capital.

In January, organizations requested the Oklahoma City Council authorization to erect a 1,907-foot tall (581 meters) tower. Previously, the project had approval for 1,750 feet (533 meters).

A Multifunctional and Symbolic Complex

The Boardwalk at Bricktown will be a mixed-use structure, combining residences, hotel, commercial areas, restaurants, and leisure spaces in a total area of about 500,000 square meters.

At the base levels, the project will include open plazas and spaces for retail and dining. From this base, four towers will rise: three at 105 meters tall and the main one, called Legends Tower, at 581 meters.

In addition to being the tallest building in the country, the tower will carry historical significance: its height number — 1,907 feet — references the year Oklahoma was ratified as the 46th U.S. state, in 1907.

“While honoring the past, the Boardwalk projects the future, representing a catalyst for the urban evolution of Oklahoma City,” AO stated on its official website.

What Will Be Inside the Tallest Building in the U.S.

The building will include 1,583 residential units, a luxury hotel, and 20,000 square meters dedicated to restaurants, shops, and entertainment.

According to the developers, the project aims to provide “a complete urban experience” and a “modern architectural tapestry” that combines comfort and innovation.

When Will It Be Ready

The first phase of construction is scheduled to start later this year, including the Dream Hotel by Hyatt, condominiums in the Dream Tower, and two residential towers.

The Legends Tower, part of the second phase, is expected to be completed by 2030, according to Gulf News.

If it follows the schedule, the Boardwalk at Bricktown will become the 18th building to hold the title of tallest in the United States — and the first outside New York. Before the One World Trade Center, the record belonged to the Willis Tower in Chicago.

Uma mega construção dessa deveria aparecer aqui para nós no minimo uma maquete, melhor ainda uma animação…

Não tem uma foto? Parece que estou em 1825, lendo jornal de bairro, em um mundo digitalizado, com imagens de tudo o autor não conseguiu nenhuma imagem que preste?

When Will It Be Ready

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

China places in the sea an 8-story, 25,000-ton steel giant, the largest offshore wind station in the world, capable of transmitting 6 billion kWh per year and bringing clean energy to areas increasingly distant from the coast.

Braking only in front of the radar and accelerating right after may no longer be an option for drivers, because BR-101 in Espírito Santo tested a system that measures the average speed over an entire stretch and caught a car at 124 km/h on a 60 km/h road.

Building a 95-square-meter house in 2026 can start at around R$ 185,000 at the reference base and exceed R$ 330,000 in high standard, but the final cost depends on the land, finishing, fees, and the region, with the South of the country being among the most expensive in Brazil.

A small church built in 7 weeks in 1961 stands surrounded by skyscrapers in Balneário Camboriú, the city with the most expensive square meter in Brazil, accommodating only 60 people and defying decades of verticalization and luxury on the coast of Santa Catarina.

Satellite images analyzed by Reuters reveal that China is building a vast network of over 80 launch platforms, bunkers, and communication centers in the Xinjiang desert near its nuclear silos, in an effort that analysts say aims to ensure the capability to retaliate in the event of an attack.
