Supertall buildings are usually in already super-dense downtown areas where the economics can support the more expensive supertall building because space is at a premium.
Space is not at that kind of a premium in Oklahoma City. The current tallest building is the 50-story Devon Tower at 844 feet. This new skyscraper would be more than twice that.
And if you look at the renderings, it's surrounded by buildings that are mostly five stories tall.
The reason for building this is likely similar to why those ultra-thin buildings get built in new york. I don't know all the reasons, but there is a lot of one-upmanship with these ultra-ultra rich people that don't know what to do with all their money.

I mean... huh? It doesn't make any sense.
