Well, they have waited a long time for it. It'll take a few days to sink in. Personally I'm enjoying all of the photos, saved me the trip down there. But as someone else said, it's something you should see with your own eyes, so I'll check it out on my weekly journey. The next glass reveal will be the base, I'm interested in seeing how that plays out as compared to the rest of the tower. Then eventually, the final reveal will be the crown and the spire, which is still a little vague at this point, though we have a general idea.

The WTC is the only game in town as far as large, new office space goes. Renderings are one thing, but seeing the building in reality makes it more likely than not to secure tenants.

It's also:
A) The exact center of transit in the city and region.
B) One of the few LEED Gold office spaces.
C) Has lower-than-market electricity rates because it piggy-backs on the PA's power deal.

On the downside, there is the history of the site. That's about the only thing working against it. Yet that hasn't been a problem for this building, the most likely to be targeted, nor Tower 7.

Good points. Once a few floors are covered in cladding and more rigorous development is seen in the east bathtub, we should see a large demand for space here

Seeing as how DCM is paying for the tower cranes and has "First Dibs" on there use (and DCM charges other companies $1,750 an hour to use them (It's actually $1,750 per lift based on an average time over the life of the job of 45 minutes per lift)) I would say that curtain wall installation well be second and or third shift. (The construction elevators are only $750 per lift.) Who knows, maybe Benson has a machine to install panels just like how the Twins skin was applied.


The WTC towers, when finished, well be the most modern prime office space in the city, not to mention some fine looking towers in a prime location. I would be shocked if all the towers were not fully leased by there opening dates.

Redoing the exterior. First time around I basically half-assed it, which is why you never really saw that many close-ups.

Well, the towers centered around Penn Station (like 15 Penn and Manhattan West) would be around the center of transit in the city and region, but they're not under construction. The transit around the WTC site is among the best in the city though, when you take into account the Fulton Street transit center is connected. Still, it doesn't beat Penn Station. Grand Central is pretty much built out.

^Any negative there is from walking 3 blocks from Fulton, is made up for by walking just 1 block from PATH, and being within another block from a couple of largely residential areas.

Work continues. The base will look drastically better this time around, now that I know what everything is supposed to look like.


With the ACTUAL floors this time around. Quick and easy cut and paste from 1WTC v2.0.

Pretty much done with the tower portion. Got to rehab the base (which will look really nice) and the antenna levels. In the meanwhile, I'm playing around with the vents. Here's small wire-mesh inserts in the glass. I'll do full-length mesh next time through, which is closest to what the renders show (they actually show 4-story tall holes in the facade, not sure if I buy that, but we'll figure that out in a year and a half).
