New York CNN —A group of developers wants to construct what would be America’s tallest building in an unlikely place: Oklahoma City. The skyscraper would be more than double the height of Oklahoma City’s tallest building now and the fifth-tallest building in the world. Between 2010 and 2020, Oklahoma City was one of 14 US cities that added more than 100,000 people. A city’s population is also a strong indicator of how tall its tallest building will be. “It’s not fathomable to me that Oklahoma City is ready for a building like that.”CNN’s Andy Rose contributed to this article.

Read previewThings are looking up — way up — for Oklahoma City. A California real-estate development firm said it wants to build the tallest tower in the US on an L-shaped plot in the Sooner State capital that currently holds a mundane parking lot. In December, Matteson Capital filed plans for an already eye-popping 1,750-foot-tall building for the site, located in a downtown Oklahoma City neighborhood called Bricktown. The current tallest building in the US is New York City's One World Trade Center, which stands at a patriotic 1,776 feet. AdvertisementDon't get too excited: To build a structure this big in Oklahoma City — where the current tallest building is the 844-foot-tall Devon Tower, home to a regional oil and natural gas company — Matteson will need to get city approval.
