No. The plan is to build the base of the tower. Silverstein hasn't given the go ahead for full construction, and we won't know for sure until next year, unless something happens before then.

Sundered Greenwich Street Will Be Rejoined

Next year, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey expects to reopen the road between Liberty Street and Dey Street, in front of World Trade Center Towers 3 and 4. It expects to open the remainder of Greenwich Street, which runs in front of Tower 2 and the World Trade Center Transportation Hub, by 2016. The Towers will all carry Greenwich Street addresses, including the newly topped-off Tower 4 at 150 Greenwich Street.
“Greenwich Street is fast becoming the key north-south corridor it was for hundreds of years,” said Elizabeth H. Berger, the president of the Alliance For Downtown New York, a nonprofit organization that manages the area’s business improvement district. “It will knit the World Trade Center into the rest of Lower Manhattan,” she said, adding, “I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few years we start calling the towers by their Greenwich Street address.” Tower 3 will have the numeric address 175 Greenwich Street and Tower 2 will be 200 Greenwich Street.

I'm not a fan of the waterfalls, but the surrounding new towers are going to transform the former megablock into something special.
