Each panel needs the lower one to properly fit, once construction is finished hoisting elevators will be taken down and the gap will be filled from the bottom to the top.

As seen with Burj Khalifa and soon to be Kingdom Tower.

i hope they not change the original spire design.. It's already a signature for tower one it self

deepblue01 · May 13th, 2012, 10:36 AM

The tower isn't really original to start off with. The only thing that was original about it was the massive spire at the top. probably one of the best spires i've seen out there. Now that they have changed it, I can't find any originality out of it.

ILOVENY · May 13th, 2012, 11:59 AM

I guess they'll have to change the logo as well. I really hope all these negative comments about the new "design" make them change their plans and stick to the original.

It looks original to me. What other skyscraper is this design imitating?

I hope the next thing they'll remove is that hideous ring, although without the dishes on it it looked kinda less hideous.

User_01 · May 13th, 2012, 02:32 PM

I found out this antenna will be a good amount thicker than the one on the Sears which is good

As someone else pointed out, the numbers below can't be correct. Perhaps gross floor area figures for the new buildings are being compared to rentable floor area figures for the twins? Anyone have the correct, apples-to-apples comparisons?
