At the time we already told you about the construction of the tallest skyscraper in the United States, but now it has received confirmation having been approved by the competent authorities. Now, according to the Daily Mail, work could begin in just two months, making it a truly unexpected move.

There are many doubts about the construction process of this building. To begin with because it is going to be erected in a region where tornadoes are common and it could be a real problem for the building. But the question does not stop there, since it is also going to be built in a city with very little population and quite economically depressed. However, it seems that the authorities behind this construction have everything in mind, so let’s see why They have decided to build the skyscraper tallest in the US in a city like…Oklahoma.

A gigantic building in a depressed region

Regarding the technical aspects, the Legends Tower It hopes to have a colossal size of 581 meters high. Until a few months ago the idea was that it would be 533 meters, but it has been redesigned to reach a specific height. In the United States the International Metric System is not used, so measure heights in feet. This translates the height to 1,907 feet, commemorating the year Oklahoma became the 46th state of the United States. This is a very interesting detail and shows Oklahoma’s interest in showing itself as an integral part of the country.

The Oklahoma City Planning Commission has approved the project and it is believed that construction could begin within the next two years. It is a colossal work due to the structure of the four buildings. It will include a luxury hotel, 1,776 residential and office units. Its objective, above all, is the idea of attract foreign investmentssince the region is not exactly the most developed in the country, to which we must add the economic decline that the entire State has experienced in recent years.

The problem is basically that it is a gigantic building, 581 meters, that will have to face climates really complicated put it in some way. It is one of the states in which there is greater climatic virulence due to the recurrent and seasonal appearance of tornadoes and hurricanes. In principle, the building will be reinforced to be able to support all its weight and also resist strong gusts of wind and tornadoes. In fact, it is also expected to reinforce the elevator area and make the windows are resistant to this type of inclement weather.

As is well known, the tallest skyscrapers in the world are located in Asia. Specifically in the nations of Arabia, along with others in Southeast Asia. In fact, Saudi Arabia is building an upside-down skyscraper that is as strange as it is surprising. He Legends Tower would be placed in sixth position in the ranking, immediately after the Ping An Financial Tower from Shenzhen, China with 599 meters.
