Plans are moving forward in Oklahoma City to construct a skyscraper that would dominate the city's skyline, rising to twice the height of what is currently the tallest building in the state. But the developers are aiming at an even greater superlative: tallest building in the United States. And with a long spire atop its roof, it stands to lift the crown of the nation's tallest building from One World Trade Center in New York City, which stands at 1,776 feet. Legends Tower would stand at more than twice the height of Devon Energy Center — which at 844 feet is the tallest building in Oklahoma City right now. "I think it would be a big eyesore," Burke said of the Legends Tower.
