No it Won't, and *if it gets built it will still not. One Wtc Is Still More Dominating than 2 Wtc.

It will be built. Tower 1 is the only 1,000 footer in Lower Manhattan, so it obviously looks domiant, but when two comes, I think it will lose that somewhat.

Pretty Cool Pic

You can see 1WTC dominate over both GS and WFC,both of which are 740'.

I think they might be holding the topping out ceremony this morning. The white beam is at the base and there are a bunch of people standing around it.

Just like the North tower lost dominance when its twin was built, right?

I wish people would start looking at these towers as part of a greater complex, like they should.

That's odd that a white beam will be raised, but no topping out ceremony.
