As for government gridlock, there is absolutely no excuse. However because of the size of the project, it's going to take a while for it to start to take shape.

Do you know when this tower will start growing over ground lvl?

Please don't misunderstand. I didn't say the Freedom Tower and the other towers of the WTC won't always be a major tourist attraction. They will. I'm just not sure that the symbolism of the fountains and their association with the footprints of the Twin Towers will necessarily be appreciated deep into the future. Not to the tune of $1 billion+ dollars, anyway. |

I'm very happy about tower 5 coming into the picture though. :dancing: |

You're right. However at the time, right after the mess was cleaned up, I thought the best scenario would have been just to rebuild the twin towers without hesitation. I would have rather, have had that, but since such is not the case, what we have now, that is starting to go up, as I've said before, and will say again, numerous times, it is alot better than that putrid farce, that was originally designed to go there. |

I believe they will be, just like the memorial is, in Oklahoma City. |

It's not expected to rise much higher than this for a while... http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/73101590/large.jpg http://www.pbase.com/nyguy/image/73101586/large.jpg But I don't think you can see as much at the Goldman site... |

Hooray! Vertical steel! A sight for sore eyes. |

Amen. |
^ Those bad days are all behind us now, nothing to stand in the way of the towers rising. In fact, towers 2, 3 and 4 would be rising already if not for the PA's delay in constructing the bath tub, which it's currently doing...

I heard that JP Morgan plans to move into Tower 5, and that it will also be a hotel as well. I thought Blooper wanted that as a residential tower.
Any truth to that, or is it just a rumor? Also, that a designer for the tower has been chosen. |
all speculation. no concrete info at all has been released about t5. just conjecture on what everyone wants to be there. i dont think any real news will come out for that tower till 2008 minimum

:previous: Read NYguy's article in the WTC5 thread. Thats what it's there for.
|
Im sorry but I think it doesnt match the rest of the NYC skyline... 2 modern twin towers wouldve followed better in my opinion.
Just something interesting, look how similar this building under construction in madrid is: (although smaller at 850ft) http://static.flickr.com/33/56343033_9d7cb6962a.jpg |

They can have it. The Freedom Tower is much better. Sad to say, that one in Madrid looks more like one of Liebeskind's contraptions. |
