The tallest building in America is planned to be built and it is not located in New York as many people think.

The announcement of the tallest skyscraper in the US being built in an unexpected city took everyone by surprise.

An American company has revealed plans to build the tallest building in the United States located in an unexpected location, the 46th state of the United States.

The tallest skyscraper in the US is planned to be built in Oklahoma state.

The United States is about to witness the construction of its tallest skyscraper, and the location might surprise you. 

When we think of towering skyscrapers in the US, cities like New York come to mind. 

However, a company has recently unveiled plans to build the country's tallest building in a rather unexpected state: Oklahoma.

While New York City currently boasts the tallest building in the US,  the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, reaching a staggering 1,776 feet, this new project aims to surpass it. 

Matteson Capitol, a real estate development company partnering with AO Architects, initially planned to construct four buildings, with the tallest one measuring 1,750 feet. 

However, they have now raised the stakes and unveiled their ambition to create a colossal structure called Legends Tower, soaring to a remarkable height of 1,907 feet. 

If approved and constructed, this skyscraper will not only become the tallest in the US but also claim the title of the fifth tallest in the world.

Why the tallest skyscraper in the US is set to be built in Oklahoma City?

The CEO of Matteson Capital stated that Oklahoma City is currently undergoing remarkable growth and transformation, creating an ideal setting that can accommodate ambitious ventures such as this groundbreaking project. 

He believes that this development will become an iconic destination, driving economic expansion, and attracting investment, new businesses, and job opportunities. 

The project aims to celebrate Oklahoma's rich history as the 46th state of the US.

The Boardwalk at Bricktown is an ambitious endeavor that consists of more than three acres, equivalent to approximately five million square feet.

The development will include three towers standing at 345 feet, along with the monumental Legends Tower. 

This expansive space will be a vibrant mix of hotels, residential units, workplaces, retail spaces, and restaurants. The aim is to create a dynamic environment that enhances the city's pride and draws people from all over.

The team behind this project, led by AO Architects, is thrilled and honored to take part in this monumental project.
