In a city with a rapidly growing skyline, the question of “who has the best view?” is a popular one. While many buildings offer a glimpse of the city, only one provides a front-row seat from within a historic masterpiece. High-rise living at The First Residences in the First National Building offers views that are simply unbeatable, blending panoramic cityscapes with a perspective steeped in history. 

A 360-Degree Perspective on Downtown

From our residences, the city unfolds beneath you. Depending on your chosen floor plan, your daily backdrop could include:

  • Scissortail Park: Watch the seasons change over 70 acres of lush greenery, lakes, and walking trails. It’s like having the city’s most beautiful garden at your feet.
  • The Urban Skyline: Gaze out at the architectural marvels of downtown, including the iconic Devon Tower, as the city lights sparkle to life each evening.
  • Paycom Center & Bricktown: Feel the energy of the city as you overlook the home of the Thunder and the vibrant Bricktown Entertainment District.

These aren’t just views; they are living, breathing murals that change with the time of day and the turn of the seasons.
