First Place Tower (originally the First National BanCorporation Tower) is a skyscraper located at 15 East Fifth in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma. It was completed in 1973 and has 41 stories. At 516 feet (157 m) in height, it is the third tallest building in Tulsa behind BOK Tower and Cityplex Towers, and the fourth tallest in Oklahoma. The building is listed as a contributing property in the Oil Capital Historic District (Tulsa, Oklahoma).[1]
From 2006 to 2017 it was owned by Maurice Kanbar, a California entrepreneur who had extensive holdings in downtown Tulsa until he sold a portfolio of his holdings, including this building, in 2017 to his operating partner, Stuart Price.[2]
In June 2014, CB/Richard Ellis (CBRE), a commercial real estate firm, sued Kanbar Properties and John and Stuart Price, Kanbar's ownership properties, for breach of a contract involving the lease of office space for ONE Gas Inc. in the tower.[lower-alpha 1] CBRE alleged damages of one million dollars.[3]
