Looks pretty good. I wish the new Cimarex Tower would've had more glass curtain wall like this design but I'm glad to see both cities adding towers.

Are there plans for any new towers here?

There is the 26 story hotel at the River Spirit Casino, which has already started construction. Nothing currently in the works downtown but there are growing companies and a limited amount of Class A office space there. BOK has the resources to build a signature tower and could eventually need the space if Williams, WPX, Magellan and the slew of other companies in their tower keep growing. ONEOK is another one that could eventually outgrow their current building, especially since they are reorganizing and spinning off the utility gas division into ONE Gas and focusing on growing their midstream and NGL business.

I have visions of one or a couple of new towers downtown. Something sleek and modern but complimentary to the timeless jewels that presently shape the skyline (which I absolutely love about the city).
A tall glassy tower would be a nice complement to the skyline. I love the Williams Comm. (er City Hall) building but it doesn't make a big impact on the skyline at 15 stories. Something modern with Art Deco elements like the Wells Fargo Tower in Minneapolis would be perfect.

Agree.
I was disappointed Williams capped that building at 15 stories. Guess we found out quickly why they did but...
I do love your Wells Fargo Tower idea. I think something like that would be a great addition to the skyline!
