An ambitious real estate developer plans to build the tallest building in the U.S. in Oklahoma City.
Matteson Capital aims to construct the Boardwalk at Bricktown Tower, reaching 1,907 feet if approved, making it the largest skyscraper in the U.S. and the fifth tallest in the world.
The project includes multiple towers, hotels, residential units, retail spaces, and an observatory.

“Oklahoma City is experiencing a significant period of growth and transformation, making it well-positioned to support large-scale projects like the one envisioned for Bricktown,” Matteson Capital CEO Scot Matteson said.
“We believe that this development will be an iconic destination for the city, further driving the expansion and diversification of the growing economy, drawing in investment, new businesses, and jobs.”
“It’s a dynamic environment and we hope to see The Boardwalk at Bricktown stand as the pride of Oklahoma City,” he said.
“Spanning approximately 5 million square feet, the project is a mixed-use marvel, including a 480-key Dream Hotel by Hyatt with 85 residential serviced condominiums in the Dream Tower; an additional 350-key Hyatt hotel with 100 serviced condominiums in the Legends Tower; 1,776 residential units ranging from market-rate to affordable workforce and luxury options; and a vibrant retail and restaurant scene with over 110,000 square feet of space designated for commercial use, food and beverage, and a workforce development center for the community at the street and second levels,” Matteson Capital stated.
“The top floors of the supertall tower will consist of a public observatory, restaurant and bar where visitors will be able to enjoy the sweeping city views,” they said.
City officials need to rezone the property before construction can begin.
“We understand the applicant’s representative is preparing a new SPUD application, which would go to Planning Commission for a recommendation and City Council for a final decision,” a city official said.
Oklahoma City, experiencing significant growth, is seen as a suitable location for such a large-scale development.
