Oklahoma City<\/strong><\/a> has undergone a downtown housing boom since the introduction of the MAPS downtown redevelopment plan, and even more residential units are in the works. Growth of the skyline has led to a renewal of the streetscape through the City’s Project 180<\/a>, increasing pedestrian friendliness and improving resident open spaces. Beyond downtown, Oklahoma City’s aggressive Core to Shore<\/a> project is well underway, reinventing the 750 acres that sit between the Oklahoma River and downtown.<\/p>\n

Bricktown, the city’s most populous neighborhood and hub for entertainment, welcomed a slew of new hotels, making it a key hospitality corridor in the city. Adding new jobs, the medical center area saw expansions in research and clinical facilities and the addition of a new hotel serving the area.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get a glimpse of some of the most striking projects enhancing the Oklahoma City skyline. With the help of Google\u2019s Street View, RentCafe brings you 10 before-and-after photos from 2007 to 2015<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. Devon Energy Center – Downtown<\/h2>\n

Year Built: 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Goliath-sized 50-story glass office tower and 6-story podium mid-rise building on the left is the Devon Energy Center<\/strong>. Located at 333 W Sheridan Ave.<\/a>, this LEED Gold structure developed by Devon World Headquarters LLC, stands as a city icon anchoring the northern edge of the Core to Shore project. The circular rotunda with dining options is open to the public and a two-story restaurant adorns the top floors.<\/p>\n

In the center of the picture sits the complex’s 300 seat Devon Auditorium. The angled glass wall provides natural light and stunning views of the adjacent city park, Myriad Gardens.<\/p>\n
