Went apartment shopping at Beekman. That image is from the brochure.

When you look at pics, I kinda agree. If you spaced out the buildings, NY would obviously have a much bigger looking skyline, similar to HK

This, I completely disagree with. 1WTC dominates the skyline in pictures.

[QUOTE=uaarkson;5779856]This talk of dominance will end instantly when 2 & 3 WTC pass 4WTC We're talking about a multi-block wall of supertall office buildings, here. Dubai's Marina towers and the Moscow IBC are the only developments that compare[QUOTE]

You're assuming 2 and 3 get built. 2 has been put on the shelves, with no plans to move further. WTC3 is struggling to find tennants, and may very well suffer the same fate as WTC2.

Shanghai's super 3 will dominate everything, present and future for a while. The architecture of those three are incomparable at the moment

MORE COLUMNS? I believe I was right, they're just going to add enough floors to make it 1,775 feet and put a 1 foot "spire"

I believe your wrong. Again, as it's been stated many times before, you can't add extra floors because the building tapers and is built to hold the number of floor it contains.
Secondly, these will be the last columns added because they reach the parapet.

EDIT-MY 300TH POST, YAY

Where are you coming up with that...I only hope you are joking as that is not even close to possible. The columns going up now have always been in the plan nothing new here.

It also looks like they have put down the deck for the roof near the red arrow. Behind the netting at the bottom of the picture is part of floor 101 then 102-104 above.
