This building is really starting to take shape. I remember visiting Manhatten Easter 2009 and the building was puny in comparison. Does anyone know when the glass siding will be start putting up? At roughly a third of the final roof height it surprises me that they haven't started.
Then again, maybe it would be smart to hold off as long as possible since construction sites and glass probably don't get along too well.
Here's the Durst Part: Nocera Misquoted Him on WTC!
By Matt Chaban
September 21, 2010
Quote:
Yesterday, the Real Estate Desk took issue with Times columnist Joe Nocera's Saturday column about finances (or, in Mr. Nocera's opinion, apparent lack thereof) at ground zero. Turns out we weren't the only ones. Douglas Durst, who took a stake in the project in July, just emailed over his own frustrations, chiefly with being misquoted by the Timesman:
Mr. Durst opens by quoting the offending passage from Mr. Nocera] When I called Mr. Durst this week, he did not appear to be exactly embracing this newest addition to the New York skyline, even though it was going to put money in his company's pockets. "I've always been against it," he said. "I have always felt that the private sector should develop and build office buildings"—not government agencies
Mr. Nocera's column made my objections to government acting as a developer appear as an objection to the building. One WTC will be one of New York's great buildings, and an admirable addition to the skyline. We are proud to be associated with it.
The Real Estate Desk should hope so. Otherwise, we have a bridge in Brooklyn he could invest $100 million in.

Haha, I was just thinking to myself "It's about time for a NYCLuver update.." And here you are.
It's finally getting TALL.
Haha
Yeah it was a beautiful day so I went and took a long walk. Midtown to Downtown! I need a fellow Skyscraperpage friend to come along or meet up one day haha.
Just a reminder folks, please use the PM function for your personal talkies. Thanks in advance, and continue to post photos of this tower or any other useful information regarding its construction.

how much floors before those corner steel meet up and joint?
Twelve more floors before the sloped corner column meets the vertical column. They will be joined in a "node" simmiler to, but much smaller than, the 20th floor node.
(The node is going to be centered on the 52nd floor and is roughly 2.5 floors high.)

Taking pictures of 1WTC is kind of related to 1WTC....but ehhh okay. I guess I can see your wisdom there.
