Thank you for your note about One World Trade Center.  The decision to eliminate the Radome was not made for financial reasons or even aesthetics. We eliminated the Radome because it could not be maintained or serviced.  Radome simply does not work on the spire of One World Trade Center.   The Spire will be lit with LEDs, have a beacon on the top and look terrific.

Best,

Durst should quickly release official renders showing the new spire so we can decide if it will "look terrific" (both daytime and night time renders).

Who knows, maybe it won't be so bad.

But until renders are released, we can only speculate that it'll look worse.
