Rooftop height, can't be all that far off now.

I'm going to love growing up and telling my kids, "Do you see that big tower right there? I watched it get built."
Such an awesome thing to say!

I'm truly thankful for all you guys who help participate in keeping us updated and sharing photos of this beautiful mammoth.

Those of us, that are far removed from the New York area, can thank the internet and these websites for that.

Could anyone draw lines to the point on the columns to show the future floors?

You can already tell where the future floors would be if you connect the noticeable nodes on the steel. No need to connect them.

I just saw the tower half an hour ago, about 35 miles. VERY VERY tall. I'll post pictures soon...i'm so glad i'm able to actually able to see it in person. Here are some updates on the current stats of the tower:

-19nth tallest building in the whole world
-11nth highest roof height in the world
-114 feet to go to hit the roof height
-147 feet to the top of the communications ring
-197 feet to pass roof of the Sears Tower
-200 feet to pass tip of Empire State Building
-476 feet to pass tip of Sears Tower
-417 feet to pass Taipei 101
-363 feet to pass Shanghai WFC
-522 feet feet to hit the tip of the spire

*the only city outside of Asia to have two buildings over 1,250 feet in roof height

Not yet. Wait for completed. Once they will take off the rooftop.

Dave84 · #**21691** Posted: **Mar 23, 2012, 10:01 PM**

Anyone got a diagram showing how close we are to topping out? Thanks

The spire was

1. Residential
2. Entirely different construction and size
3. Entirely different mechanical systems
4. Less complex of a site
5. Not on a rushed schedule.

Inherently it's a cheaper building, therefore the assumption for WTC is quite the opposite.

Anyone know if they will be working tomorrow or Sunday?

They are working Saturday, not Sunday - calling for rain in the forecast.

Thank You so much Carlos.

I must say that from the pic of the current height combined with the diagram, it look so close to being completed to roof top. I think one more jump after this and they will start to bring to bottom pre pieces of the spire onto the tower.
