^^^ It will be nice for this tower to get some attention in the meantime - perfect opportunity for the world to take in the tower.

I love t2 & especially t3 but I think that there should be a limit on their heights...tower 2 is way too close to t1's height so it won't dominate as much. However it's still amazing to think that tower 3 is around the current height of tower 1

It's also a familiar mark on the skyline. Back in the mid-90s, when I first moved to New York, I used the North Tower as a sort of waypoint. Anytime I was lost and didn't know where I was, I looked for the Twins, and knew immediately where I was and how to get where I needed to go. I'm sure 1WTC will have that same effect. :yes: |

My love towards the old buildings is mostly for the time I spent there from 97-01 and the people I worked with. I used to want to see the Twins rebuilt, but I think we're definitely getting a better complex this time around. And yes, I did meet my girlfriend in the Tobin Plaza in July 2000. She's now my wife :cheers: |
Everytime I see what the finished tower will look like in artistic renderings, I am more impressed. I think people will love it when it's done. Once the cladding is done, and the spire erected, it is really going to be awe-inspiring to people I believe, especially when they see it in the flesh. It really does remind one of the sillouhette of the twin towers, especially the north tower, with its spire. I at first wanted the Twins rebuilt, now I like 1wtc. And although I am not from New York I would definately say that it will be a visible marker for people all over the city to help them orient themselves. When it is topped out, it will even dwarf the Beekman, seen from Brooklyn. :cool: 1wtc will be one of the top tourist attractions in the city. It will begin to be put on every postcard, t-shirt, poster, etc. People are going to want to visit it, to visit the observation deck and take in those incredible views that we haven't had since we lost the twins. I'm quite optimistic about the impact 1wtc will have on the city!

^ It's going to be a tidy bit shorter than your paint renderings show.

Plus it would look disgusting, having TWO 1700 footers (1300 footers), one 1200 footer, one 1100 footer and one 900 footer ALL in close proximity to each other. They had TWO choices rebuild the WTC or go on an extremely different route and start from scratch, and they took the less likely and plausible route. It's fine for what it is but a poor mans replacement for the lost.

^ Well there's a skylobby on the 64th floor, and the (40th-ish) floor is actually the (60th-ish) floor, continuing on the (equivalent to) 20 floor base/lobby.
