Funny thing is there are plans for WTC 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 and 7 has already been built. But as far as I know there is no current plan for any building to be built as WTC 6.

On topic what is going to be the official height on 9/11 this year? I know they've passed their goal of 1,000 ft, but I'm interested to know how high they've actually gotten for the anniversary.

WTC 7 is called "7" in honor of the original 7 WTC that was destroyed by the attacks. There will only be a total of 6 towers... on Fox News last night Shepard Smith interviewed Silverstein, and Silverstein specifically referred to SIX towers he planned to finish as "jewels" of quality design.

By the way, I hope that ridiculous "window box" on the belly of of the rendition of 5 WTC never happens...

I thought it was "only" 991 feet tall right now? Not passed 1000 yet.

sw5710 · #**16024** Posted **Sep 3, 2011, 6:05 PM**

It is 991' Not over 1000' till the next jump. Then it will be 1017' or 1018'

Darn...I could have sworn someone posted a few pages back that it was over the 1,000 mark. >_<

Maybe I misread a post or something...

marshall · #**16026** Posted **Sep 3, 2011, 6:39 PM**

Im sure they will make 1,000 before 9/11 they only have a few more feet to go. They are very close. Pretty soon its really going to start looking like a supertall building.

We need carlos to post more pictures!

Another interesting tidbit about 1 WTC...The views from the indoor observation deck when finished will surely be amazing, I believe during Discovery Channel's "Rising: Rebuilding Ground Zero" they mentioned that the windows on the floors will be expansive and offer wide angle views, unlike in the old Twin Towers, which had very narrowly-spaced windows, which supposedly to add a sense of security due to Yamasaki's fear of heights. Each window in the old Towers were only shoulder-length in width. New 1 World Trade will have much wider views, I believe.

Now we are at floor 80 or 986'8'' Add 4 or 5' for column splices.
81=1,000'
82=1,013'4''
83=1,026'8''
84=1,040'
85=1,053'4''
86=1,066'8''
87=1,080'
88=1,093'4'' last office floor, 14'4''
89=1,107'8'' broadcast
90=1,130'8'' broadcast
91=1,151'8'' mechanical
92=1,181'8'' mechanical

Can anyone point me towards a rendering of WTC 5 or post a rendering I havent seen any plans or renderings of this building
Thanks

It's the image on this page.

Alliance · #**16033** Posted **Sep 3, 2011, 11:58 PM**

Its also dead as a doornail for now. And the site was never officially part of the old WTC complex. They're just using the name.

chris123678 · #**16034** Posted **Sep 4, 2011, 1:06 AM**

What is going on beyond that base? When are they going to clad it, its about time they start clading, and when will this building be topped off?

(1) They're probably preparing for the cladding of the base which (2) is supposed to start sometime early next year, at around the same time (3) when 1 WTC is supposed to top out (quarter 1 of 2012).

I hope that answers your questions.
