That practically looks like a render!

the next temporary spire platform is being dismantled. You can also see all of the black led floodlights in place on the permanent platforms which illuminate the spire at night

The ring platform would have been nice as an observation deck...

Please does someone know if they are going to add "hoods" on the cooling towers, as described in a few renderings ??

According to me, that would be a nice idea. However, cooling towers without hoods are good enough.

It would reduce the "transparent" aspect of the ring, when it's seen from far distance !

The spire seems very large even from a distance. From the Bayonne port atop a cruise ship, the WTC1 seems to dominate Lower Manhattan. Not to mention the harbor makes it amazing. Going to be surreal when the whole complex finish's up.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Maybe someday in the distant future, when the microwave dishes and antennas are no longer needed, they may consider it.

The "render" VS "what is now".
The spire painted white would be a dream come true!!!

People, if you want special "colored" lighting wait until they light the mast and beacon.

Yeah, should be nice. I know they're still programming the system. Won't be as impressive as ESB, but I always look forward to PCK's signature projects.

Hudson11 · #**32898** Posted **Jul 22, 2013, 7:37 PM**

i don't think they're still programming it. They've shown that they can light it fully now if they had the go ahead. But they're probably waiting to do some sort of pompous ceremony on 9/11/13.

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone has pics of the north side of the base of Tower 1 WTC. All I am seeing is the west, south, and east side of the base. Plus does anyone have pics of the base from the inside thats very recent. Thank you so much... the tower is coming out amazing...

drumz0rz · #**32900** Posted **Jul 22, 2013, 8:51 PM**

I have no pics, but I can tell you the North face is hard to photograph because it is directly across the street from the Verizon Building (140 West St) so the best you can see is from the street which currently is covered by construction platforms leading to the pedestrian overpass to the WFC. If I'm not mistaken, it has the least amount of glass installed of the 4 sides.
