NEW YORK | One World Trade Center | 1,776' Pinnacle / 1,373' Roof | 108 FLOORS

[Empire state of mind]

Thanks Carlos! It's hard to believe that we have a new tower already. I know we have time for completion, but to see another tower down there is amazing. I'm proud to be a New Yorker.

On another note, it's absurd how well that render lines up with your penthouse view, Carlos, seeing as the source photo was taken somewhere in SoHo!

Carlos - I think you have 4 WTC flipped around... It just doesn't look right to me.

[CarlosV]

so true LOL Uaarkson...... no Zelda...the original photo source is untouched by me, you might be mistaken by the other tower to the right of 4 WTC.

take a look...

Oops... I was looking at 3 WTC and wondering why it was flipped around. There we go! I see it better, now that you pointed it out. Whoops!

Yikes... It's gonna be weird when the complex is complete and then we won't have the current view of 4 WTC that we have right now. Sometimes I forget about that.

This picture seems like we have 60ft. left but isn't more like 124ft. left.


Amazing rendering Carlos and Thanks.

Great comparison Carlos! though a bit off, the 100th floor is just one floor above the vents. Perhaps you got confused while trying to align the slanted columns with the stainless steel corners, which don't meet at the same point, slanted columns will get joined through corner nodes at the roof slab (1334'-8"), while the stainless steel corners will meet at the parapet.

So there are one, or two jumps until it reaches the top. Judging by carlos picture, it looks like one more. 4 wtc, looks the same.

[Otie]

More like 4 jumps.

Personally, I would guess one more regular jump, then another where they'll install a pre-fabricated node piece at each corner (which will go up to the roof), then one more after that for the parapet.

Of course I'm hoping the next jump combines the next few floors with the node, but that seems kind of large for one jump.

I say the very top of the ring should be able to touch the very bottom brown part of that upper portion of the crane.
