In regards to the video, I'm one New Yorker who loves taller and this seemed to be proven with the new structures that are currently rising or in the near future. I'm not so focused about the size of buildings as much as before, but I love taller. I'm absolutely glad that we are reclaiming our skyline. 1wtc is already and will be a georgous building.

Hey Roadcruiser,I doubt it will be in May.We still have at the very least 3 jumps including parapet.I'm going with mid to late June.

I concurr. Seems steel erection has slowed again as of late. My bet is for sometime in June.

more steel being delivered to the top as we speak

So when will new steel appear taking it past the Empire State Building?

Next week perhaps?

NewYorker2009 · #**22472** Posted **Apr 21, 2012, 6:25 PM**

The Empire State Building should be surpassed sometime in the next week or so. The Tower will likely top out in June because we're still only at 100 and the next columns will be for 101 and 102.

The tower won't top out in June, in May it will. New steel probably next week, and then most likely a memorial day/ fleet week top out! The PA even stated it in a conference saying it will top out sometime in May for proof.

Nah,the PA also said it was topping out in April and it took them weeks for them to figure is wasn't ,all while Otie and others were predicting a much later date and as it seems Otie was right.Trust me,it will be after May.

I thought that sometimes steel erection covers like 3 floors in 1 jump, so wouldn't it be like 1 or 2 more jumps until topping off?

Don't forget the M floors.

sw5710 · #**22477** Posted **Apr 21, 2012, 7:22 PM**

Not with the taller floors. The columns have been from 26' 8'' to 40' tall and we are at 1,244' now

We will probably see a July 4th special topping off!

It also looks like they will start the base glass cladding right after they top off 1 wtc

No. The building is 4 floors from toping out it would not take 3 more months to top off. It will most likely be end of may or early june. I say may cause they can raise four floors in a lift if they want, but the next four are mechanical still so it will take a bit longer into may.
