Latest Official Timeline (As of September 2024): Legends Tower, part of the broader Boardwalk at Bricktown development in Oklahoma City, continues to face significant delays. The most recent announced target for substantial completion is late 2025. However, no specific opening date for visitors or residents has been formally confirmed by Matteson Capital, the developer.
Key Project Status Updates
- Construction Phasing: Initial construction focused on the podium levels and the adjacent OAK tower. Vertical construction of Legends Tower itself (planned as the tallest in the US at 1,907 ft / 581 m) has not yet commenced above the foundation work.
- Approved Redesign: The project received approval for a crucial structural redesign in late 2022, addressing engineering challenges associated with its extreme height in a high-wind region.
- Financing & Market Conditions: Securing full financing for such an ambitious project remains a primary challenge, compounded by fluctuating economic conditions impacting large-scale real estate developments.
Visitor Access & Opening News
- No Public Opening Scheduled: There is currently no confirmed date for when any part of Legends Tower (residential units, hotel, observation deck, amenities) will be open to the public or residents.
- Focus on Core & Shell: The late 2025 target relates primarily to completing the building's core structure and exterior ("core and shell"). Interior fit-outs for different uses (residential, hotel, etc.) would follow, pushing functional openings further into the future, likely 2026 or beyond, if the project proceeds.
- Subject to Change: All timelines are highly tentative and subject to change based on financing, construction progress, and regulatory approvals. Significant further delays remain a possibility.
Actionable Advice for Visitors:
- Monitor Official Channels: Check Matteson Capital's project page (Boardwalk at Bricktown) and official Oklahoma City development authority notices for verified updates.
- Expect Delays: Do not plan visits around potential 2025 openings; significant additional time is required after structural completion.
- Verify Claims: Be cautious of unofficial sources or real estate listings claiming imminent availability; the project is not open and remains under prolonged development.
