Thats one slow deck-Must be the size, What floor are they upto?

its a massive building in terms of width, maybe a couple floors at most. it will house 9,000 GS employees at 1.5 million square feet.

Just what Lower Manhattan needs...can't wait till completion

That last render is amazing! The WTC and this building look beautiful!

9,000 employees? Haha.... on a NY-scale.....

Nice building.

nice building ! Its going to fit in the skyline perfectly.......

downtown Manhattan let alone NYC is getting TONS of development, dont let anyone tell you otherwise, its obviously not on the scale of Dubai but still, NYC is boomin itself.

yeah, new york doesnt have a crazy king with tons of accruied oil wealth (from other emerates) and a state-owned construction company. But thats the american way, we (mostly) have all private development

Nice proyect.

nice, the glass should blend in with the WTC guys.

I guess no one knew about this bad boy.

nope we didnt spooky. So is this in battery park or no?

Just North of Battery Park City.

Looks nice. Seeing this building in the same rendering as the new WTC towers really shows the massive scale of that development.

these renderings are the best that ive seen of the WTC! ! Alot better than the color day and night one that they first released. Also Goldman seems to have real winner in the lower Madd-Hatten area. They're going to be beautiful.

Good update

good start

there are tons of projects like this that are getting overlooked. im too busy to make threads for them all.

also, notice in between 2 WTC and 3 WTC you can see Gehrys tower wayyyy in the background. thats 876 feet tall and currently u/c.

Does ne1 know if the other massive buildings in the WTC development are approved, or still in the proposal stage... -& nice pics spooky

Will these be the same types of cranes that will build the Freedom Tower?

Awesome!

http://img165.imageshack.us/img165/7363/703.jpg

bravo to whoever made this render shot. its awesome. i see you included a fill in wtc 5 shot. you should also include 123 washington across the street from it to the south. thats u/c. bravo again.

Man, I didn't know there was that much construction going on there!! I should call my friend that lives in Long Island that does HVAC also and see what kind of pay those boys are making and how much of a PITA it would be to find reasonably priced housing and all the while get to see and enjoy NYC:cheers:

With the Freedom Tower, WT2 and 3 the GS building and Gehrys tower this by far is the most densly packed area of skyscrapers u/c and or approved in the world. Keep in mind that all buildings are at least 800ft...with a coulpe of monsters over 1000ft and a nice middle finger at over 1300ft.:)

Well it took a minute, but now this is just what i wanted to see, as many towers going up on and around the World Trade Center site as possible. This makes four. I heard that tower 4 (WTC) will start soon, can anyone conferm this?

I don't know, but it would definitly be nice if the other towers started soon because ideally it would be nice if the other towers were finished around the same time as the Freedom Tower.

It will look really good, the render is perfect!!

Damn I didn't even know they'd started construction on this thing. Great to see that they have!!

only one more floor and the podium is completed or?

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1337/846279866_aa865505b9_b.jpg

on the last pic you can clearly see that it'll be a great addition to Downtown

Quick question: in the pic above, what's the very tall thin building between Woolworth and 7 WTC?

Thats the Barcely Tower.


Goldaman sachs will look great, and 7WTC looks beautiful!!

Quick question: in the pic above, what's the very tall thin building between Woolworth and 7 WTC?

Another resisential/hotel tower (just as taller if not taller than the Barclay tower that you asked about) will rise right next to it on the site of the old Moody's building.

Thanks for the reply guys. :)

Nice tower. It grows pretty quickly too. :)

Nice design, I like that it conserves water, very intelligent.

heres a pic Ghost at ssp posted

http://i13.tinypic.com/4mu00bb.jpg

Wow they're already at the setback? I hadn't noticed.

Another great tower for NYC.

nice building...at least its growing, thing that (apparently) isn't happening with the nearby buildings (like FT and the hole lot).

This building looks very similar to One Bryant Park when it was at the same stage of construction.

yes, because both have the same construction method :)

Perfect for NYC.

Its moving up impressivly quickly

HeY, does ne1 know whats going on in that last picture?

stunning tower, thanks for those under construccion pics.

Wow... Awesome... Very impressive

gosh so quick.... I was there in April... went into a bar with the sightseeing tour right next door silly me didnt realise something this big was going up... I suppose the size of the beams should have given it away :eek:

great progress, rising fast :)

Btw, which program did u use to make it look like this?

I used iPhoto to edit the photos.
I used Keynote to create the presentation.
I used GarageBand to create the music from scratch.

Then after all of that, I simply used iMovie to finalize the movie for upload.

For the timeframe, a straight week to do this project (principle photography was one week ago). :cheers2:

Nice movie! haha!

And by the way the 35 story tower, or the "bonus shot" looks to be ANOTHER office tower, sure is alot going on around the WTC site.!!!!

maybe carlos can clear us up in it with some fantastic photos ;)

Thanks a million Carlos. Great pics.

awesome pics! this tower rises pretty fast

the glass is really a bit darker than we thought

^

yes...but I dont think i ever saw a color rendering..just that black and white...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v109/nyctowers/2007/Picture066-1.jpg

how much progress do u think will be in the next 2 weeks?

Any more photos, especially from more of a birds eye view?

it has already risen out of the cam so i can't see there how far the progress is

the glass is really a bit darker than we thought

when we're looking at the pics, all we're seeing is the dark unfinished ceilings and stuff. once the interior starts coming together and ceiling goes in, it'll be much lighter because the ceilings are white and the glass seems to be pretty transparent.

here are some recent ones from flickr

so it looks halfway? oh and i dont see why people hate the barclay tower lol i think it looks fine o_O

Nice photos, thanks ...

its going up pretty I will have some updates this weekend.

wow, the tower is already taller than i thought.

Damn downtown is getting denser and denser.Cant wait for the new 4 supertalls there plus 50 west street.

and the other 150m + towers :)

wow, those pictures are amazing. relly spectacular view of new york's skyline. when you have more please post them, they are gorgeous.

Imagine the first pic from post #123 with a built WTC. it will look so brilliant!

Wow, it's already adding to the skyline. No building that short can add to NY's skyline, but keep in mind that this one's right next to the water, so that's why, and I think that the curve will face the water, so even better.

True. This is still a tall building though; it will be 750 feet.

Oh the Barclay-Vesey Building is gonna be totally incased by these giants all around when this and the FT are completed.

True. This is still a tall building though; it will be 750 feet.

Yeah, but it's only a third of that height right now.

i took this on sunday across from ground zero (in front of Century 21). damn, the last time i was here, it was barely above ground!

is this how the facade will look like on the whole tower?

Yes

good facade, I was afraid it was going to be a disappointement as it has been for the New York Times Building, that was totally different from the rendering (that doesn't mean I don't like it, but...). Hope it grows as fats as it has done so far, can't wait to see it finished!

Wow, great pics NYCGuy. 7WTC looks positively unreal in that last photo.

as far as i can remember in february this year

going up fast hopefully the winter weather wont slow it down

I need to go see this one in person. The facade looks really nice.

I don´t know what to say about this project. As far as things go my personal opinion is that the façade looks boring.

The facade looks nice to me just as the whole tower, nice for NY. :okay:

Those photos taken near One liberty, across the WTC site, (with 7 WTC in full view) are awesome...!!!

^^ i always think it's funny how downtown manhattan's skyline alone could rival those of most other cities

^^^ LOL this is Manhattan we're talking about so of course its skyline has to kick ass

Took some pics yesterday (Dec 22):

^^^^:master:

it looks great so far rising pretty fast

while searching after a render i found this one. A colored render of the GS bldg.........pay attention at the former FT design, this render must be old!

Has this been ever posted before?

From that angle, this tower will look taller than 7WTC even though they are the same height. It will top out at around the same height as the WFC Tower with the green pyramid crest - the tallest one, giving the west side of lower Manhattan's skyline an utterly massive and amazing addition. It's really starting to have an impact now. By the time all the glass is up, we'll be watching Freedom Tower starting to rise behind it. Even though, let us say, WTC Tower 4, a supertall, were built right now, from the west, the GS Global HQ would have much more of an impact on lower Manhattan's skyline.

I consider this tower the new 7WTC's twin since they are both the same height and about the same size are both green office skyscrapers. We might as well call this tower 6WTC. And what an impact she will have. Move aside BoA and NYTT, it will be GS's time to shine very soon!

From that angle, this tower will look taller than 7WTC even though they are the same height.

GS will be 2m taller :lol:

wonderful NY :drool:. imagine how the pic will look when all new towers are completed!

^^
Still the most interesting and evocative silhouette from this angle is the 1913 Woolworth Building. Thank you Mr Gilbert. :)

Getting there.

Yep, slowly but surely

Untouchable. Can't wait to see more glass.

good for NY.. GO NY GOO

really does look good. I was on the fence with this one, but a great add to lower manhattan.

Anyone know when it will top out? Most likely within a few months. I can't wait.

Very nice!

is this thing more than halfway? It is, right?

EDIT: oh, duh. it is.

gulp.

Floor counting in those newer lpics is really hard! So how many floors have to be build until TO?

They are working on 33th floor, so next 10 floors to go (8 standart f, 2 higher floors and crown with 4 unofficial floors). It´s about 170 m.

^^ so its possible that it TO in the next 12 weeks?

No, I think, It will be TO in May.

wow

No, it's over 228 meters tall. If you meant how much height is left to go up, then there's about 100 meters to go.

Yes, but I meant curent height - 170m

Sorry, I´ve got problems with pic links

great building

Wow! Perhaps it should have been about 60 feet taller to really add even more to the skyline w/ the WFC, but it's utterly amazing as it is. That diagram ust show how massive it is.

My ol' dad is more negative than some emo kid. I remember telling him that the new WTC towers would be over 1,000 feet tall and he snorted out, "Yeah, like they'd ever build even that tall again; you're crazy if you think that." Then I told him that the GS tower would be as tall as the tower he used to work in, 3WFC, (he still has over 3 dozen keys to it in his desk) and he told me I was making up "BS." He just doesn't believe anything till he sees it, no matter what.

thanks a lot for the diagram Millos.
I wasnt sure just how big this one would be, and I am happy that Downtown Manhattan is constructing some awesome things.
In some skyline shots of Downtown, the area near the WFC is the only place I can see gaps. That will change, and it'll look crazy

Yea, Yes, Yes, about 188 m and 37 floors, Gs tower is wtc 6 for me:)

It's possible.

There's at least 6 more floors to go, and I'd say at most 9. You can tell because the tower has not reached her final setback yet, and the setback has 6 floors. :banana:

What a great addition to the skyline!!! 7WTC and 3WFC have a new buddy!

39 f / 198 m, next 4 official floors and 4 mechs f . Next 2 floors to first roof.

took this today too lol
couldn't get good view of it cause it was raining

Lower Manhattan really needs the new supertalls bad.

Without the Twin Towers - it just looks wrong.

yes, totally right!

wow wtc 7 i think, it looks like a render in the pic.

It's interesting to see how the WFC seems to work like a gateway in that last picture.

will be topped out very soon :)

Still has four more floors to go. I'm loving it more and more. Hard to believe that it's just one of dozens of towers of roughly the same scale being built at the same time on that small island.

Should top out in a few weeks.

Always has... Although it's obvious now after 9/11.
I think the guys who created the teaser poster for the movie Cloverfield used this sport of Manhattan for that very reason.

This thing is huge, I could see it quite clearly from a few spots on 34th. I wanna see it close up though. Really love this building.

It seems like they have three more floors to go. It should be topped out in about two weeks.
