Although you can't even tell the difference, why did they make it 205x205 ft instead of 208x208?

Twins were 212' when measured at the base and 209' from the start of the office floors all the way to the roof. One WTC is close enough......

Honestly it wouldn't look good especially with the tapering. I remember one time I made a quick model on sketchup and it looked okay from the ground but two 1WTCs looked strange from far away.

The towers were actually 207'-8" from center to center of the columns at the base according to the plan view of the steel drawings.

Exactly, and the cladding added some extra width to them just as it does for One WTC.

That last shot is poorly blurred, why on earth did this person try to blur the water? and the did a very poor job, parts of the water are sharp. The trees have sharp and blurred parts. I see no artistic merit to do that, kinda takes away from an otherwise great shot of Manhattan.

Lol, yeah, if he really wanted to blur it out in post, he should have used a gradient filter. Someone needs to teach him about masking layers!

When they've finished using it, and no longer have a need for it.

The elevator will not be removed until Conde Nast has finished moving in their main equipment. So, it most likely won't be removed until close to opening.
