someone can explain me please why the cubic base has not been completed since at least 8 months ???
i thought thet would cover it with glass panels...
but, one year later, it is the same !!
in spite of this, the glass on the main part of the tower is added every week ...
The original design had a problem during fabrication and the glass kept shattering due to the V notch in the back that formed the prism. So a new design / build contract was initiated and awarded this year. The renderings of what it looks like have been posted in the forum and Permetilistia has been busing installing the clips to support the "podium glass". You should expect to see the glass start being installed late this year.

The Port Authority said it would begin in March, but that obviously didn't happen. So i was checking the Port Authority website and it said it would be finished by early next year, They could atleast start cladding the upper part of the base. And early last week or the week before last, many people on this forum and skyscrapercity said they seen a delivery of base glass.

Almost everything you read at the PA's site is second hand info, if not third hand.
