It will. One World Trade Center has 4 floors, but these floors are different compared to the regular office floor and take on average of 2 to 3 weeks per floor.

Four World trade Center Only has 5 floors left, i think all of them are office floors. So it should be one floor a week.

One World Probably will top out in June
4 wtc most likely will top out by the middle to end of next month.

One of the KPI webcams was tilted upwards this afternoon, giving us a jaw dropping view of the tower.

Schumer presses for signature on GSA lease at One World Trade Center

2012-04-19
By: Mark Rockwell

As the scandal at the General Services Administration over lavish spending by its managers grows, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) pressed the agency not to forget its commitment to occupy space in the offices rising at the World Trade Center site. Schumer called Acting GSA Administrator, Daniel Tangherlini on April 18 to urge him to finalize the agency’s lease agreement for federal office space at One World Trade Center, which is slated to open in 2013. He said GSA had signed a preliminary “term sheet” more than seven months ago and that the agency’s concrete commitment would not only make it clear the building -- built on the site of the World Trade Center office complex that was destroyed in 2011 -- was open for business, but would bring the occupancy rate past a vital 50 percent threshold.

The GSA is embroiled in a scandal over excessive spending at a Las Vegas convention by some of its western regional leadership. Congress has convened multiple hearings on the issue during the weeks following the exposure of the expenses.

The current “GSA mess” shouldn’t derail the timeline for the lease, said Schumer. The agency signed a term sheet for 300,000 square feet of office space in the 1 World Trade Center last August, but the final lease, now under GSA review, hasn’t been signed. Schumer said he hopes to focus attention on the unsigned lease as the leadership at GSA changes in the wake of the controversy.

She does not speak for the majority of New Yorkers that wanted the Freedom Tower bigger and better.

Yeah, but there's a difference between a want and a need, and it's heartbreaking to see that New York still needs to prove something to the world when we're the ones who set the standards.
