Great pics pnapp! Is the twin towers in your avatar really made from Legos? It looks pretty big!

Yes it is. Here is another pic of it.

^^ That's true. But the glass of 7 WTC isn't ugly.
It's better this way, just imagine every building in the complex would have the same glass like One WTC. That wouldn't look even better. It's okay now!
But I think, everyone has his own taste, and I don't want to argument about this ;)

@pnapp:
Have you built it on your own?
It looks awesome :applause:

:shocked: :shocked: Whoa, that looks like its maybe 4 feet tall? Did you make it yourself?

OOPS... Double post.

^^ Hä?

Well, it's made by yourself, or?
Please say it, i'm interested about. :banana:

Damn that glass is perfection..

Thank you, Dino! That's beautiful. I love how it towers over 7 WTC.

ONE thin is clear to me if i visits NY. Look at ground zero and new buildings and d citys history. But i will NEWER take a car, look down at d road!!!

Fuck wrong post. still look at early post down at d road. traffic caos.

1WTC's glass looks far better than 7WTC's. I like when the glass is without lines.

I prefer that each of the WTC buildings has different glass. As a group they will look much better that way.

My visit to Ground Zero/The World Trade Center site today, October 2, 2011...
It's hard to explain what the feeling is at the site and around the World Financial Centre... it's such a busy area with so much life, and construction, yet, there's a hollowness and surrealness knowing that the Twin Towers once stood on this ground....

Wow, so many awesome new photos, thanks folks. The aerial photo I like the most. It shows how gigantic 1WTC now is compared to the towers arround it :drool:

Fuck wrong post. still look at early post down at d road. traffic caos.

I never got stuck in traffic in that area. And I'm not mistaken that's the Westside highway.

Kurtin's #27139 post about 7 pages back....the tapering silhouette shot reminded me of the John Hancock Tower going up in Chicago.......a long time ago now !

Fuck wrong post. still look at early post down at d road. traffic caos.
it isnt always like that and if your coming from the north like me getting all the way west to the Hudson Rover and taking Henry Hudson Pwky south and then West Side HWY is the only way to go.................

This will be such a good angle:

Beautiful images of the WTC. Thank you Steve!

Thank you for Info.

Compliment to everyone who took a photo in the last time. You took really great ones :applause:

I agree with Kanto. The one pic which was taken in the air, is awesome. There I feel so small! :cheers:

^Tower One is a mixture of both: a hybrid tube structure with a monotholitic core. Much of the loads go straight to the core, while the rest to the perimeter columns. The outer structure was designed in such a way that in any event that a column failed, the gravity loads of the floors above travel to alternative load paths in adjacent columns. Unlike the twins, the inner columns that form the core are encased in rebar and super-concrete; the core compressive strength is higher than any other typical office skyscraper; varying from 8,000 psi (used in the roof) up to 14,000 psi (base).
The base is even stronger than the rest of the tower: the entire frame can withstand the loss of as many as 3 of 6 perimeter columns on any side of the podium. ;)

The same principle http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=457285 The building has been disigned be able to withstand plane attack.

Supertalls are built for impression, which is in my opinion more important than strict profit. Morale does wonders to productivity of workers and working in an imposing, unique masterpiece of art like 1WTC will boost the morale of it's occupants a lot because they will feel privileged and proud to work in such an awesome place.

Stunning.

One of the best pics of NY I've seen lately..Midtown is huge!

OMG the picture is stunning! Can we get that in higher resolution?

Nice. I actually flew into LGA last night. Don't have a picture from that but I do have one when I flew out on Friday. This is Manhattan from North-South at ~7,000ft. If you zoom in all the way you can sort of make out 1WTC.

Also I hate to post an old picture but I just found this on my phone. This is taken from the middle of the Hudson about a month ago. I just managed to capture that Blackhawk, but simultaneously cut out 4WTC.

Lol! I didn't know you guys would be so interested in a photo where you can barely see 1WTC!
And ya this is the the highest resolution you can go... I'm glad I was even able to see anything, since I was on a small plane that was shaking a lot before landing! And I was zoomed in with my point and shoot!
I'll be leaving ny tonight :(

Btw, here is my NYC construction roof diagram. It's incomplete because I dunno how tall 157 is. Also, it should be noted that the height of 4WTC again isn't 100% precise. If anybody has info about the heights of 157 or 4WTC, please lemme know :cheers:

http://i51.tinypic.com/efm77k.jpg

1WTC = 319 meters or 1047 feet out of 418 meters or 1371 feet
4WTC = Approximately 208 meters or 682 feet out of 298 meters or 977 feet

(Note: I used the 418 meter figure for 1WTC when measured from the lowest above ground entrance and I used the 298 meter figure for 4WTC.)

Then I'm happy :)

yeah! at christmas time...

I think it will happen far earlier than at xmas. We're already now at 319 meters and one height jump covers approximately 8 meters. That's 4 jumps left, which from what I know requires approximately 8 weeks :cheers:

but you have to handle with some weather caused delays

^^ That's true, but I think those will be only a problem in winter months so in my opinion October and November should be kinda smooth :dunno:

Didn't know about that, thanks for the info :cheers:

Btw, that reflection is stunning, it looks even brighter than the sky arround the building :drool:

We've already gotten plenty of rain, fog, and wind during the Spring and Summer seasons so Fall shouldn't be that different. They only have 4 office floors left to go (or 6, depending on whether they decide to make 89 & 90 office floors) then the mechanical floors start and if the weather does get bad it could slow things down once the office floors are completed. December, January, and even February would be the slowest months for construction and that's exactly what happened for 2011 so hopefully 2012 will be different.

Yeah, I hope winter like the last one won't repeat this year..

^^^^ On this pic you can see (unfortunately) the smog of NY.
Actually, it's not smog which is a combination of smoke and fog, originally...........New York City does not have a bad air pollution problem especially for it's size,compared to some other cities in the US and there arent that many of them that do outside of California . Of course there are days in the summer and fall that do but by and large the weather changes so much and the wind regular enough that there isn't China like smog issues in NYC

^^
Might be that you're right and it's just fog. NY doesn't have really bad problems with polluted air and I don't wanna imagine, how ugly would NY be, if there wouldn't be the Central Park. ;)

Anyone know what's going on with the corners of the building? Seems like glass is missing.

^^ Maybe broken?

Ironworkers have rule not to work when it's too "wet"..Security reasons, and of course, they can't weld wet steel..



Another point, wet steel is slippery. It's very dangerous to walk a thousand+ feet up in high winds on wet surfaces. Most workers have tie-offs for safety, but not the guys who have to climb up the columns. And climbing a wet column is damn hard.

^^ I can imagine... Very dangerous

^^^^ The new downtown skyline in its making :D

:cheers:

Those are great pictures, Otie! I especially like the second one.

And Dino, that one is really beautiful. I love how it is so massive.

I found a diagram last night...

Thanks everybody for the amazing pictures and updates :)

Here is my new NYC construction roof diagram now with 157 as well. It should be noted that the height of 4WTC and of 157 isn't 100% precise. If anybody has precise info about the heights of 157 or of 4WTC, please lemme know :cheers:

http://i55.tinypic.com/2pqpduc.jpg

1WTC = 319 meters or 1047 feet out of 418 meters or 1371 feet
4WTC = Approximately 208 meters or 682 feet out of 298 meters or 977 feet
157 = Approximately 125 meters or 410 feet out of 306 meters or 1005 feet

(Note: I used the 418 meter figure for 1WTC when measured from the lowest above ground entrance and I used the 298 meter figure for 4WTC.)

^^I think you're pretty close Kanto, nice work. Well you definitely have Tower 1. Tower 4 is probably close to where you said it is and for for 157 I think it's almost 400 feet now. New York City is getting better everyday these Towers grow.

Could you believe I didn't know that Chrysler building was going to be the second tallest building in NYC.

^^ It used to be until Bank of America has beaten it. Recently 1WTC has beaten it too so it is now the 4th tallest in NYC. Once 157 and 4WTC will be completed it'll be the 6th tallest as my diagram shows :cheer:

i remember that it got the 300m not long ago and in that short while it went another 20m up thats amazing :)

This thread now has 1368 pages, surpassing the number of feet 1WTC will have to it's parapet ;)

The height of the North Tower!

Where do I go to find construction photos? A Google search for "Freedom Tower construction" turned out to be unfruitful... I'm not sure how to navigate around Flickr; but even recent Flickr results did not appear in the query.

Not sure if this was posted already, or if it was from Flickr (URL is completely different...) but here goes...

anyone know if there is a bar near the site that's up high so you can have drinks and look over the site? i know Millennium Hotel is across the street but does it have one in the upper floors and are there any others around? :cheers:

Well I would start by searching for pictures related to the building's name, "1 WTC" as opposed to an old name no longer associated.

I would say it is "associated" in one sense, considering many articles and commentators still refer to it as such. I will try to search using that term, though. Thank you.

Or you can come visit and take your own. I think it's worth it and definitely a sight to see with your own eyes. :okay:

I wish I could. I would probably talk to it and touch it. :lol:

I love the first picture, Dino! The tapering in the middle of the photo conveys to me the expression of oneness; that is to say, the WFC and WTC as one...

I am lucky enough to have a job that requires me to travel to NY alot and I always stay in lower right across the street from the site and have a window view. I don't mind the noice, it is actually exciting because it shows that something is going on always there.

Definitely. I hope next jump they do a "lonely column" to get to around 1,090 feet. (I think?) :cheers:

Man (@eyeofodin), that's an amazing pic. Really, this building is already dominating the skyline. :D

Lately they hadn't been doing the lonely column trick, which is bad cause I really liked it :cheers:

Thanks guys! Keep the wonderful images coming. I think the cladding is better than it seems on the rendering. It is going to have a perfect finishing.

They are really making great progress. Topping out in January-March 2012? Right now the best place to see its height is from Jersey or down near the site. Once its height reaches where the top of the cranes are now, the view from Brooklyn, and pretty much everywhere else will be great. Will really stand out then!

Decking looks done on the 84th floor. This has been the fastest they have done 2 floors yet. Come Monday we may see core scaffolding.

I noticed that as well. Let's hope the next floors come soon.

WOW. The 1WTC is already dominating the New York Skyline. Beautiful. I remember the days when we were all desperate to see some construction and complaning about how slow it was. This thing is rising up so fast that if you dont pass by this thread in two or three weeks you'll lost track...

I Love New York. Lets keep it going!!!

I'm amazed by the progress made at the world trade center site I remember a while back when everyone was excited about it getting past 7 WTC, and now it's just rocketed into the skyline I love this building and I love NYC

Next stop 1070 feet to become the third tallest building in nyc and the 7th tallest in the country.:banana::lol::banana:

Well just wait 'til it's topped out, then it'll really be a cause for celebration.

When it tops out it will be a huge moment! Talk about media attention and when that ceremony happens and we see that last beam being raised it will be like rebirth. And that's BEFORE they raise the spire! :)

What a giant in the world of skyscrapers :cheers2:

Looks like they might put up more steel columns any time now. :)

It's time for a new PA cam update. It looks like they'll be soon prepared to raise new steel :drool:

You cant see the bowling green area from brooklyn :ohno:....im assuming this is somehwere from new jersey or taken from a ferry near the sydney bridge :)

Yeah I'm pretty sure it is the ferry, but I could be wrong.

Nah, I think that the ESB is still a bit taller...

As for where the pic is taken from, I couldn't tell, I'm not from New York.

Right now it is the second tallest in New York. Only the ESB is still taller than 1WTC :cheers:

Despite the incorrect rubbish that some people spew on these forums, the Bank of America Tower is still a good 50 meters taller.

Why would he have to? He's right and you're wrong.

He doesn't have to add any info because we all know what he's talking about.

You cant see the bowling green area from brooklyn :ohno:....im assuming this is somehwere from new jersey or taken from a ferry near the sydney bridge :)

From the the bay ridge promenade you can see bowing green area but that view most likely taken from a ferry, as for tallest i meant tallest in down town Manhattan area.

It's been the tallest in Lower Manhattan for a while now.

He doesn't have to add any info because we all know what he's talking about.

I strongly doubt that all or even the majority know what he is reffering to. If somebody asked it meant that somebody didn't know. I know it, but only because I know the actual height of 1WTC and the different heights of different NYC buildings, however most people aren't such a fanatic like me :banana2: so they don't know what measurement he's using. Also keep in mind that samdam doesn't even have 100 posts, making the chance that somebody knows what measurement he's using even far smaller :cheers:

Btw, Steveve, your videos are awesome. I really like the idea of making videos instead of photos. videos are so much more alive than photos. It makes me feel as if I would be standing next to this beauty myself :master: Thank you very much for them and I'm glad you joined SSC :cheers:

^^ sandman is correct. Doesn't matter if he has 1 post or 10,000.

Can't we have only ONE, only ONE page without Kanto's utter rubbish, trolling and provocative posts?!

I already wrote THREE mods about this issue, and noone does anything.....

Other members who contributed to this thread, were treated like shit, because of a foncolor. And he is allowed to continue his nonsens, for weeks, if not months. Something is going terribly wrong in SSC nowadays.

One World Trade does have the second highest rooftop in New York City, but it isn't "officially" the second tallest because if spires didn't count One World Trade's symbolism of 1,776 feet with the spire would be meaningless so spires do count regardless. If spires didn't count and height was based on rooftop height, One World Trade wouldn't be the tallest in the U.S., Willis Tower would be. I just wish spires could be acknowledged more because take ESB or Wills Tower for example. Empire is jumped up to 1,454' with the antenna and Willis is 1,730'. Conde Nast at 4 Times Square is about 1,118' I believe. John Hancock goes up to 1,500'. I mean the height exists, the problem with those is that their antennas were added later on or weren't counted toward the official height. One World Trade will get to where it needs to be in time so people shouldn't be worried about the current height.

Maybe you have to see it in person, but the higher it gets the less I seem to like it.... it seems a bit bland in design.

These are a week old, October 2, 2011, but here they are anyway,



And both 4WTC and 1WTC together,

I have a question regarding the vents on the building... Which floor(s) are they located on?

With the cranes the building has almost 370 (?) metres?
I would like to control a crane in such a great height.
Just if I think on this awesome view , I get jealous. :drool:
:banana:

^^ And just think what kind of view the crane operators will have when they are on say the 100th floor. :cheers:

If this isn't the pot calling the kettle black, then I'm not sure what is. There is no debate about height measurements. The pinnacle height includes the spire, and that's that. So don't give out the wrong information about 1 WTC being second-tallest right now just because you've got a hard-on about roof heights.

Please people, don't troll in this thread.

You must be kidding! :bash:

LMAO! Glad I'm not the only one who sees how pathetic this kid is.

I reported Kanto to severyl mods AGAIN. I hope we will finally see some action, and get our freedom in the threads back. We simply cant have ONE PAGE without him, annoying us.

Everyone else, who feel annoyed by him. Do the same. I wont be the only one, to fight for a peaceful forum.

kanto is a troll? you people dont understand the definition of troll, do you?

Please people, don't troll in this thread.

Shouldn't you be out on a ledge somewhere? Or at least secured with a strait-jacket until your head is examined? You ain't right, boy.

kanto is a troll? you people dont understand the definition of troll, do you?

Definition of Troll (from Wikipedia):
"In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion"

I'd argue that Kanto provokes a negative emotional response in a lot of us because he knows we don't follow his roof height crusade, and he knows it annoys many of us but continues to do so. Plus his posts usually devolve into a disruption of normal on-topic discussion, which he then blames on everyone else even though he is the cause.

I don't think he necessarily has bad intentions, but it's frustrating when he posts incorrect information due to his fixation on roof heights.

kanto doesnt seem to bother people just for the hell of bothering them, however. i think he posts because he wants to advocate what he believes in, whether it bothers others or not.

Kanto's motive is to annoy us. aznman once asked Kanto to stop using the shrugging shoulders icon and Kanto did it in every one of his next 20 or so posts, even when it didn't apply. It's a small and irrelevant example, but it shows his motive nonetheless. He is a troll and is the reason we are off-topic.

As for him "advocating what he believes in," roof height is no longer the official height measurement, so whether he believes that is how it should be or not, that's not how it is. He continues to bring up the topic and flood new readers with false information and nothing seems to be done about it.

Oh my, there's a flying saucer in this photo :hahano:

Btw, to respond to the civilized critics, I agree that maybe I made a mistake by not saying in my post that I'm using roof height as well and byrequiring samdam to announce that he's using official height in this thread and not by sending him a PM. If so I would like to apologize and promiss that from now on I'm gonna mention in every post about height that I speak about roof height and that everything related to it I will solve via PMs. I have no bad intentions and if somebody has a problem with me, please PM me, but please keep it civilized, thank you :cheers:

how does it feel Kanto when pretty much the majority of this forum simply dont like you? You feel "mission accomplished", or a complete loser, because the majority cant be wrong... there is clearly a very big issue with you. The sooner you realize it and deal with it the better for you.

How old are you boys? 10, 11? I would say 12 tops. :|

Haven't been on for a while so I must admit that I'm staggered by the progress having been done lately. 1WTC is already dominating the Lower Manhattan skyline and it still has well over 700 feet to go. Also, the higher this tower gets the more I appreciate its design.

EDIT: I'm surprised that Kanto is still here, I really thought he wouldn't survive that long (at least on SSP he didn't...). The mods must be blind in both eyes.

Is it me or is the cladding on 1 WTC at the same height as 7 WTC?

^^ About 2 floors below it, but it's close enough. :cheers:

I think the interesting part will be the top of this building. Since it will have muuch more details, air grills, and some sort of steal work visible. Because the upper floors will be taller, then the office ones.

Credit for the render goes to: STR!!!!!

I am drooling over any render of the whole complex. <3

Picture of the month. Anyone?

I think this might be a photoshopped composite. But then again, who cares?:okay:

what's the story with the wood in the foreground? sorry if this is a stupid or frequently asked question

There used to be a Ferry Terminal , and Railway docks along the Jersey City Waterfront. Starting in the 1970s they were closed and the Railway network / Ferry Terminal moved to Hoboken which is the largest and only Full Intermodal Terminal in this region. Those wooden piers or pegs will be torn up when the New Marina gets built.

the star above the 1wtc is planet jupiter ... for real ;)

I'm from the U.K. and I am going to New York and Chicago next August, at what stage will the tower be at by then?

I'm expecting it to be fully topped out, fully cladded and the spire will be under-construction. Is this correct?

Thanks

Next August? By then it'll be either newly complete or very very close to completion (externally) :)

Is this protective foil we can see in the pic in post 27485?

No protective foil on the glass..;)

No, I think they haven't been posted before.
But: :omg: Really geat renderings, would you be so nice, and give me the URL of the Website where did you find them? AMAZING :banana:

^^ The links are down there at the end of my posts, the text is clickable (http://www.flickr.com/photos/65505718@N04/with/6226954717/). :)

When looking at the site from this view, all I see is a perfect location for another 1WTC in the space of the old Deutsche Bank building. The two memorial pools flanked perfectly by new twins at each outer corner.

http://www.video-monitoring.com/construction/kpitv/silver.htm

I visited this site in July 2009, the first few steel beams were being erected above ground level, and then I visited again in September 2010 when the podium was constructed and they were about 10 levels above it.

I had looked at hundreds of photos of this site but it wasn't until I was actually there that I was shocked by the actual scale of this thing. It's massive! I can't wait to go back in August next year!!

Apparently steel is up.

^^ I was there in march 2010 and was amazed by the size the whole complex has, and the amount of noise the construction causes.

Wait until WTC2 starts to rise. It will be visually more massive than this tower. WTC1 has the tappering, while WTC2 just has the slanted roof, which will result in amazingly tall and bold walls, going up, from street level to the sky.

WTC3, will have a grander visual impact than the ESB, which is an amazingly bold building.

People underrate the volume of this complex, and the impact it will have on people.
