That's a shame, but indeed that was a pretty long time on-hold.

So, I guess the question to ask is when will it reach roof height then?

Partizany · April 9th, 2012, 02:15 PM

In late May.

Just to save the inevitable disappointment, I say mid-June when it will be topped off.

On one of the webcams this morning it showed a worker painting or spraying something gray onto one of the jumbo columns near the base. Presumably this is setting them up for cladding later?

I hope there will soon be more green visible in the park.

If you take a look at Earthcam, there is.

Probably it's been answered, but I'd like to know if the office space will be larger in the new WTC complex than in the old one. Do you have the figures?
