MSPaint sucks, but my super expert surveying job makes it look about ~100 ft. away. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...on/1242723.png Image is from Google Maps. |

Ok, so my original estimate of 60 feet wasn't too bad. :) |

On the last images posted by hunser is clearly visiable whoch height the concrete core has reached. The concrete guys made a lot of progress, like the steel guys as well.

The building has very clear definition in this photo. This is perhaps the best photo I've seen where the geometries of this building are clearly expressed. |
Once this tops the Verizon, one will be able to get A LOT more pictures of it, especially from the Empire State Building!!!

I couldn't go 3 days without checking up on the updates. Like the guy in the last page said, the updates have become an addiction :D

Sorry if this has already been beaten into the ground, but it is becoming very clear from the latest renders and progress on the actual building that the SOM model and diagram showing constant width/floorplate size from floors 1 to 108 top has got to be wrong. The floor plates get smaller because the building TAPERS just like Trumps stock exchange tower (I'll bet even money on it); i.e., the largest floorplate in the building is 20.

So, when is West St going to be rerouted and expanded and the Hudson River Greenway in front of the WFC expanded?

Nothing before 2012, is all I can say.
If they closed down West Street then this would be completed in no time, but it would cause serious congestion. Plus they need space for trucks and staging equipment for 1WTC and the memorial.I think they will reopen Vesey, Fulton, Greenwich, Liberty, and Church Street around the same time they rehab West Street. |

Maybe this would have been the perfect answer for the naysayers that have complained about this taking so long. Also I must reiterate, that because of the serious congestion already, just because it is Manhattan, the logistical nightmare it is, shipping all of the supplies in there, just to construct such a massive project. |
:previous: A few floors more and the crane's tip will reach the roof of 7WTC.
