Oklahoma City is the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Oklahoma. There are over 40 completed high-rises in Oklahoma City.[1] 25 buildings reach a height of 200 feet (61 m) as of 2026, seven of which are taller than 300 feet (91 m). On these metrics, Oklahoma City ranks as the second largest skyline in the state, behind Tulsa. The Oklahoma City skyline is dominated by the Devon Energy Center, which rises 844 feet (257 m) and was built in 2012. Built as the headquarters of petroleum company Devon Energy,[a] the skyscraper reflects Oklahoma City's role in the oil industry. The 50-story building is the tallest in the state. It occupies over 1,800,000 square feet (170,000 m2) and had an estimated construction cost of $750 million.[2][3] Devon Energy Center is considerably taller than the city's second tallest building, BancFirst Tower, being 344 ft (105 m) taller.

The history of skyscrapers in Oklahoma City begins with the 14-story Colcord Hotel,[4] which was built in 1909.[5] After oil was discovered in the area in the 1920s, the population of Oklahoma City grew significantly. As a result, the city's skyline expanded, which featured a "race to the top" with the synchronous construction of First National Center and City Place Tower in downtown. Both buildings were built in 1931. Following a pause beginning with the Great Depression, high-rise construction resumed in the 1950s. The 18-story Gold Star Memorial Building of Oklahoma City University was completed in 1954.

From the 1960s to the mid-1980s, Oklahoma City's skyline expanded significantly. The 1960s saw the construction of two notable residential high-rises outside of downtown: The Classen and the Googie-style Founders Tower. The BancFirst Tower was completed in 1971, becoming the city's tallest building at 500 ft (152 m). Other commercial developments during this period include the Oklahoma Tower and the Leadership Square complex. In 1993, Oklahoma City voters approved the MAPS (Metropolitan Area Projects) program, which featured the construction of several distinct domestic facilities and restorations and expansions of other older ones. It was completed in 2004 and is deemed to be the first program of its kind for a city the size of Oklahoma City.[6] Two major skyscrapers were added to the skyline in the 2010s, these being Devon Energy Center in 2012 and BOK Park Plaza in 2017.

Most of the city's tallest buildings stand in Downtown Oklahoma City, the city's central business district, which is north of Scissortail Park and Interstate 40. A few buildings taller than 200 ft (61 m) can be found northwest of downtown around the Northwest Expressway, including the 22-story Valliance Tower, the tallest building in the city outside of downtown. Oklahoma City and Tulsa make up the majority of the tallest buildings in Oklahoma.
