Really. Even the 4 WTC would dominate the area, if by itself. That rendering makes it out barely larger than the surrounding older building. And 2 WTC looks downright puny, when in reality it will be just shy of the original Twin's height.

For Pete's sake, why don't you grow up? Stop acting like you're five years old!

OH, don't bring up that insult to our intelligence again. I've never gotten over that.

It seems to already have (check the proposals forumn), if only because developers have WTC envy and Manhattan is desperate for new office space.

Please, someone go taking pictures there! Does anyone have acces to 7 WTC? I know there is not happened much but still... something to stop that fight between Daquan and others!
That webcam really sucks... I tried to make better quality but don't make much difference... What is that red X?

Beekman would appear just to the left of 7 WTC, at about the same height, no?

Beekman is about 830ish feet, so it's actually taller than 7 WTC.

But I doubt you'd see it from that angle at least. Its on the other side of Manhattan.

Yes, but if it were included in the rendering posted earlier it should appear to be near 7 WTC in height, due to perspective.

From certain angles Beekman Tower will be visible from Jersey City. Midtown and Brooklyn will easily see Beekmans Tower, as it's almost another 1000 footer.

Perhaps you don't understand. Beekman Tower should appear the same height as 7 WTC from that view due to perspective, not because it's physically the same height.

I was told that ALL of the towers, including Tower 5 is supposed to be taller than 7 WTC.

^ Yes 7 WTC is the shortest highrise of the cluster. From what I heard 5 WTC is shorther that 4 WTC, but taller that 7 WTC. Then again that was a while ago and things change quickly on this project.

I would personally visualize them (being the towers) as steps. One is taller than the other leading up to the Freedom Tower. 7 WTC is just a side bar.

To tell you the truth, I think 7 WTC looks out of place compared to the rest of the towers designs. Sure the facade, matches up, but the structural architecture just isn't flowign with me. Just goes to show you how the glass box concept is out. (I'm still a glass box fan though!)
