Multi-faceted real estate firm Matteson Capital has announced plans to build the tallest building in the US. However, the structure will not be located in the typical sprawling metropolises of New York or Chicago , but Oklahoma City .
Last week the company requested a variance from the City of Oklahoma City to increase the height of one of the towers in its development The Boardwalk at Bricktown.
The structure consists of three towers, rising to 345 ft, as well as a striking super-tall tower referred to as Legends Tower, which is the subject of the height variance.
If approved, the height variance would raise the tower to 1,907 ft, making it the tallest building in the US. The symbolic height honours the year that Oklahoma was admitted as the 46th state of the United States .
The tallest building in the US currently is the One World Trade Centre in New York, which stands at 1,776 ft tall.
According to AO, the Boardwalk at Bricktown will deliver “an exciting architectural tapestry of modern design and a rich mixed-use experience at the heart of a vibrant entertainment district”.
