The first tower was built in 1959 (and completed in 1960) for
Getty Oil Company. The building was then known as the Getty Building, until Texaco acquired Getty Oil in 1984. Getty built the twin second tower in 1980.[4]
In May, 1997, the K/B Fund IV, a Delaware general partnership located in Newport, California bought the Texaco complex for $7.25 million. CB Richard Ellis Inc acquired the property through a merger with the investment fund. The new owner renamed the property Boulder Towers, reflecting its twin architectural design. Ellis then spent 22 months and approximately $3.0 million renovating the complex. According to the Tulsa World, the occupancy rose from 35 percent before the Ellis acquisition to about 75 percent after the renovations.[4]
