(accessed October 8, 2013) In 1980, Cities Service commenced a new 52-story headquarters in downtown Tulsa that was intended to become Oklahoma's tallest building. However, as Cities Service and the Citgo brand underwent a series of corporate transformations—first being sold to Occidental Petroleum Corporation, then to Southland Corporation, and ultimately to Petróleos de Venezuela—the company's needs changed. Cities Service eventually moved its headquarters out of downtown Tulsa, first to a tower in south Tulsa, then ultimately leaving Tulsa and moving the headquarters to Houston in 2004. The planned replacement tower was topped off at 17 stories and now serves as headquarters for ONEOK, Inc."Tulsa-based Oneok buys HQ site for $48M https://web.archive.org/web/20120207223638/http://www.dolanmedia-postini.com/view.cfm?recID=356203 2012-02-07 ," The Journal Record, March 28, 2008.
