This deal with Conde Nast... what percentage of the building space-wise will they're offices cover, and on what floors will they're offices be located? ty.

True. They need another cam on a taller building near by to see the top.

These images are obviously a fictitious event. Media entertainment that show events like these don't do it as a way to further prolong scars. I respect your opinion, but when does it end? America has had her closure and I think it's about time we moved on.

Couldn't agree more. Let's move on.

Too much of a tourist draw.

Maybe peaceful isn't the best word. The point is the sound and sight of that massive water flowing, should kind of get people in a state or rememberance from the loud city noise. I agree that it will probably never be quiet. I think it's an awesome choice for a memorial though. It lets people remember that day and those buildings in a beautiful way.

Photo from 5/21 - Some scaffolding has gone up since then. Hopefully more steel soon.

great shots, especially the middle one where you can see 4WTC making it's presence known,

great shot of both in same view which has been rare .............I love the W Hotel btw, sorry off topic but i had to say that

From WTC's Facebook page.

Don't mind me if I kiss the glass.

giantSwan · #**13812** Posted **May 27, 2011, 8:55 PM**

It's a long way off (I'm just getting excited seeing the progress), but I think it would be really exciting/cathartic to have a skyscraperpage meetup at the new WTC either when it tops out or when it's fully completed. I'd love to enjoy the experience with a bunch of other people that have been waiting to see the skyline restored in anticipation as well.

steveve · #**13813** Posted **May 27, 2011, 8:59 PM**

I JUST WET MYSELF! with those facebook images! Holy crap the memorials look surreal! those trees look too perfect!

some great looking stuff! ground zero rising!

jsr · #**13814** Posted **May 27, 2011, 9:13 PM**

Love the glass on 1 WTC. Any speculation on when we will see a rendering of the new podium design?

Finally, some good camera angles of the progress. They should do that more often, it's great to see the site from sides the cams don't show.

The glass is great IMO

nydavid · #**13817** Posted **May 27, 2011, 10:56 PM**

I stumbled upon these in yesterdays New York Times (business section)

steveve · #**13818** Posted **May 27, 2011, 11:24 PM**

thanks for posting those ^^^, but why..... WHY!?! did they use an old render in that first pic!.... it's the smallest thing.... but pisses me off!

nydavid · #**13819** Posted **May 27, 2011, 11:42 PM**

I asked myself the same question. my only guess is they wanted the focus to only be on 1 wtc and not 2 ,3 or 4.

Same here. The first rendering looks like a draft and makes the building look all soft and vague.

The second one looks like an actual skyscraper.
