This tower takes me to borderline rancor.... This was supposed to be the nicest one of the three and all they did was just dumbed it down to a block within a block look.
Although I still don't agree with it I can understand that the cross-braces take out usable office space.
But those 4 spires were very unique and would have made an awesome impact on the skyline and nicely complemented 1WTC. This tower leased out nicely, there was money to keep true to the towers little bit of essence left... I mean Jeez why did Silverstein have to go so far out of his prudish way to even remove them also??
Just what a miserable an cheap pile of humanity Larry Silverstein is!
3 WTC, from grandiosity to abject banality; they could do a documentary off of it on "value engineering (AKA: increase profit margin after bait and switch).
