It was a full moon. Not just any full moon but one that where you stop the car and pull over to take pictures. Something special was getting ready to happen.

The red Ingo Maurer Light fixture (Custom Made in Germany by the artist) marked the entrance and mirrored the moon, doing its best to compete for attention.

The party marked the official rebirth of the building. From the front entrance to the top of the penthouse, City Place has been completely made over by the teams of Butzer Gardner and Sees Design.

For a building that was originally erected in the 30′s in a race to finish with First National, its only fitting that it sees its makeover as Devon rises just blocks away and accepts the torch of Oklahoma Citys bright future coming full circle.
