Really? GEEZE! Can't wait for this thing to be clad all the way to the top.

I remember how excited I was when this became the tallest building in lower manhattan. Now it's the tallest in the city. Congrats.

Was anyone watching the Earthcam view of the new beams at about 4:35 p.m.? I had just tuned into it, when a plane went from south to north right behind the top of the tower - pretty startling...

JMruitenberg · April 30th, 2012, 10:47 PM

PARTY!!

I'm realy happy about this, but I am ashamed that I'm Dutch, when I read all the comments about this on a news site everyone was saying a lot of stupid things... Like: "who cares?" and that it wassn't respectvul that it was higher and a lot of bad things about the "real story" about it... :$
+ the most comments are realy weird...
And I don't understand.

P.S. Sorry for the typing... I'm mad!!

Another plane went behind the top of WTC 1 in that view from the Earthcam just a few minutes ago - maybe they are takeoffs from Newark airport and there is a northerly wind in NYC today.

kingsc · April 30th, 2012, 10:54 PM

Planes fly around WTC all the time.

Elwin135 · April 30th, 2012, 11:00 PM

WOOOOO!!!! I Can't Wait to See it Complete

Johannes867 · April 30th, 2012, 11:01 PM

I read an article about 1WTC, some information were new to me, probably they are also useful to you:

- only LEED Gold certification

- first cost estimation: $1 billion
now at about $3.8 billion

- gsf. 280.000 m²
e.g. 13.000 $/m² (Burj Khalifa: 4000 $/m²; Taipei 101: 5000 $/m²)

- 73 elevators

- energy use reduction -20 % (compared to what? 90.1-2003?)
- 70 % renewable energy (offsite wind and water)

- 12 fuel cells
4.8 MW electrical power
5.4 MW thermal power
thermal power used for potabel hot water and running absorption chillers

- total cooling power 43 MW => 150 W/m² (e.g. German standard is around 60-80 W/m² - IF the building is air-conditioned)
7000 m³/h water from Hudson river for condensor cooling

- Air handling units with a total of 1.400.000 m³/h (5 m³/(m²h) = quite normal)

- average rent: $100 per m² and month

As of today, it is now the tallest building in New York, surpassing the 1250 ft of the Empire State.

Dave-in-Toronto · April 30th, 2012, 11:05 PM

Well, as long as any planes stay a safe distance away from the skyscrapers... congratulations to the workers and planners on this big milestone in the construction of the building!

BritneySpearsRocks93 · April 30th, 2012, 11:11 PM

Why do some reports keep saying the building won't be complete till 2014 or 2015...isn't it due to be complete next spring with tenants moving in end of next year or January 2014???

It's US media it's always innacurate!

Got to update my page today!

One World Trade Center will be the pinnacle of the new WTC complex. Featuring 108 floors and designed by David Childs, 1 WTC is an office building that will soon be the headquarters of Conde Nast. If not the most iconic structure of the new WTC, 1 WTC will certainly be the tallest. While the building itself rises to roughly 1,400', a massive mast atop the building will bring the structure's total height to the towering figure of 1,787 feet. One World Trade became the tallest building in the city on April 30th, 2012, finally passing the Empire State in height. Topping-out should occur in June of 2012, with completion scheduled for 2013.

Will be sure to grab more photos this week, as well.
