This tower is incredibly tall by most city's standards, but next to 1WTC, it just looks anemic. Pretty impressive how New York does that.
And this building was going to be the tallest residential in the city when it was first proposed. Now it seems an afterthought in terms of height, but it's still a pretty tall building at over 900 ft.

I still think this building should have had a spire, but it's ok.

Hello !
Sorry for off-topic questions but
At NYGuy's picture #17 , The tower is for 200 Greenwich aka WTC2 ?
The crane you see on the far right is for WTC3. The crane in the center is for the new PATH station. WTC 2 will go to the left of the new Path station.
Larry Silverstein's limestone pillar 30 Park Place topped out today at 926 feet, officially making it the tallest residential tower Downtown. The Robert A.M. Stern-designed building won't be complete until mid-2016, but the 157 condos, which sit stop a 185-room Four Seasons, are already 60 percent sold, including three of the 11 penthouses. The tower's location makes it stand out from many other super luxury buildings; many units look north, offering views of Manhattan and the Empire State Building that Midtown's new towers do not, a feature that sales director Loretta Shanahan-Bradbury said drew early buyers. But as the tower rose, people started to see that some of the most interesting views are much more intimate—the iconic Woolworth Building and the whole World Trade Center site are right there. All of the views have been a major selling point, and Curbed got to check them out from 750 feet up on the 73rd floor during a recent construction tour.

Yep, it's still taking shape.

I think this photo says so much about New York and its skyscrapers. The Woolworth Building (over a hundred years old) was once the world's tallest building.
It's a landmark, and a great skyscraper design. But the city moves on. There are some people who would prefer it if New York was "done". But a great and thriving city is never "done".

The building thus far looks to be adhere to the original (or close to original)rendering. To think, I made my illustration over 5 years ago. Glad to see this building finally come to fruition. Look forward to its completion, looks great in the downtown skyline.
(P.S. my illustration should be primary, lol!)
