^Easy for you to say, you don't have to do the work. I'd have all that all done by around...oh...January if I don't get distracted by real life things.
Is it now certain that construction will put on-hold when it reaches streetlevel?
Silverstein doesn't have money to complete the tower. It's planned to reach street level by December of next year. He will need a tenant to get financing by then, or this tower will stop at street level. It's not decided what will fill the space until he get's financing, but some have suggested a plaza or open market.

You can find more on that in the memorial thread or tower 5 thread where it was originally posted.

Don't know, but we should begin to see the cores of both towers 2 and 3 form soon.

That site has been a gaping hole for years. Its about time the wound get healed. The site will definitely become an engineering marvel in the years to come.
What a wonderful building. However, it's not expected to reach ground level until late 2011, and after that, it could be built to only 5 or 6 levels if funds are not found. WE MUST SAVE 2WTC!!!!!!
I don't doubt the building will get funded. Everybody wants to see this along with the other buildings get built. There's no time time to spare. This will restore all the office space that was lost on 9/11 and when I mean lost, I mean all the space that was practically in use before that horrible day.
@STR, I appreciate your efforts for making a 4D model of the how the site will look.

If Silverstein is able to find any tenant, that tenenat will go to Tower 3. That is certain, because it of the deal they made with the PA. Unfortunately I don't see any chances for this tower to be completed before 2015.

Well, hopefully the business cycle will finally hit the upside just about the time construction reaches that point. Then we'll suddenly see a flurry of stories about the shortage of Class A rental space in lower Manhattan.

Not certain at all, it's a tenant's preference that will determine which tower gets a tenant first. If Silverstein was able to get a sizeable tenant for tower 2, financing wouldn't be the problem that it is now. On the other hand, Silverstein only needs a minimal signing to get help from the City and the Port Authority to finance tower 3.

I don't really think people need to worry, I'm pretty sure the tower will be built in any case.
I do think it would look way better though if the last 80 feet or the "spire" where solid, like covered in some kind of glass or something to make it look like the whole building goes to 1350 feet and doesnt stop at 1270
