I still don’t believe this tower has a strong chance of being built, but at least there’s the discussion of it. It’s the tallest proposal in the US since the Chicago Spire I believe.

A lot of people were skeptical in the late 1990's/early 2000's that Dubai was going to do what it ended up doing, which included building the tallest building in the world and being a top tier international city along the lines of New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, or Istanbul. Furthermore, the fact an observation deck open to the public is planned for the top floor of this building shows you just how much of a landmark this tower is intended to be. It would easily become Oklahoma City's most popular tourist attraction, considering how popular all five of New York City's skyscraper observation decks are. Those are at the Empire State Building, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, One World Trade Center, 30 Hudson Yards, and One Vanderbilt. More skyscraper observation decks in New York City are planned for 740 8th Avenue, the Tower Fifth, and the Affirmation Tower that are either under construction or proposed. Many people were asking the developers of the Devon Energy Center if it would have an observation deck on the top floor when it was under construction. While this did not quite happen, there is a restaurant where the public can have a meal or drink at on the 49th floor of that building. Therefore, the possibility is strong that this skyscraper will be built at it's intended height and that the observation deck will become a very popular attraction. Also, this might compell developers to build a true Megatall skyscraper in New York City and Chicago.
