History
The building was completed in 1971. Originally built to serve as the headquarters of the Municipal Service Oil and Gas Corp., when it moved its headquarters from the famous Town Service Building in New York City. At one point, the building has 2,300 employees, with transfer recipients from New York, Bartlesville, and Philadelphia. During that time, the company was the largest private company in Tulsa.
In 1980, Cities Service started a new 52-story headquarters in downtown Tulsa intended to be the tallest building in Oklahoma. However, since the Municipal Services and Citgo brands underwent a series of corporate transformations - first sold to Occidental Petroleum Corporation, then to the Southland Corporation, and finally to PetrÃÆ'³leos de Venezuela - the needs of the company changed. The City Service finally moved its headquarters out of downtown Tulsa, first to the tower in southern Tulsa, then finally left Tulsa and moved its headquarters to Houston in 2004. The replacement tower is planned to end on 17 floors and now serves as the headquarters for ONEOK, Inc. Over time, Occidental also reduced its occupancy rate at 110 West 7th, making it underutilized. The next ownership is improved and the building now serves as a general purpose office tower.
