The first new render would be whitish, the second render looks dark blue...but the glass we've seen looks light green or blue. Talk about crazy. What would whitish glass look like, I've never seen such a thing. They just need to put some up so we can end all this speculation.

I mean, slightly frosted? There's really white, ala 123 Washington, but there's also whitish along the lines of of the Standard over the highline, which is ever so off clear. I would say BOA is whitish. I'd like clear like this:



But I doubt that will be it.

I've seen it described as "white" glass, but who knows. We'll be the judge when we see it.

A mock-up of the Freedom Tower at the World Trade Center, in Ontario, Calif., was built to be exposed to extreme conditions.

It should be taller then the Barclay-Vessy way before the 20th, it basically almost there. Just another 4 floors probably. Great news on the cladding.

You should have told them that you were terminally ill and aren't going to live that long and see if they can move it up 20 days. Seriously, October 20th? It's probably going to end up being October 23rd at 4:45 in the afternoon...

The glass for the office curtain walls are to be "Super clear" all I can say about that is refer to Tower 7.

As for when.

Think of the curtain wall as a beautiful silk dress, the last thing she puts on before a night ( or a century) on the town.

I'd say its pretty much just "clear," which is why I'm very excited to see glass up on the tower.

I am taking from this that Tower One is supposed to be clad in the same glass as Tower Seven? That is what I am taking from this. If that is the case then it would be spectacular news. I love the glass look of Tower Seven.
