On Sept. 1, 2008, the oil and gas company purchased the historic Colcord for $19.533 million.
With work set to begin on the Devon site later this year, company officials will seek approval on Thursday from the Downtown Design Review Committee to construct a three-story addition to link the hotel with the tower.
The project’s report, which will be given to committee members, states the three-story addition will have a pedestrian connection, two stories of hotel function rooms, a terrace and balcony, and a rooftop level for screened mechanical equipment.

Devon is proving to be a thoughtful, visionary neighbor in downtown as evidenced by the purchase of the Colcord. Connecting the two buildings will give the Devon building a vintage brooch on it’s shoulder.

Vintage brooch? Nice metaphor…I like it. The Devon Tower will be great for the City and the infrastructure and streetscape improvements being carried out as part of the Devon TIF have the potential to revolutionize the urban experience throughout downtown. Larry Nichols deserves a tremendous amount of credit both for the way in which he has carried out the planning and design of what will surely be a magnificent building, and for his continued commitment to Oklahoma CIty.
And it is nice to see one of my biggest fans reading and commenting on the blog. Love you Mom!
