While the design is mediocre, it has a lot of potential if they just invest a little more money. If they could outline the entire building (including the triangular portion) in white LED along with the top portion and antenna, this building would look incredible at night.

That would be amazing looking!

Unfortunately, I highly doubt they would ever do this...

It looks classy, and kind of reminds me of the lobbies of art deco skyscrapers.

I said the same thing, the space between the core and windows seem larger, probably since all the extra construction materials have been moved out of the way

Don't forget, this is only the 63rd floor. It starts to get noticeably smaller after the 64th floor.

This may have been posted before, but what is that hideous-looking building on the east side near the podium (visible in Earthcam), and is it permanent? It unfortunately looks to me like it is.

It's a temporary loading dock area.

It's temporary, it's been discussed before a while back. Until the hub opens and they can dismantle the temporary PATH station they can't connect the VSC to 1WTC, so they are building that temp loading dock for the time being.

I have noticed that the 63rd level where the Marketing office is located is one level below the skylobby/transfer level. It's exciting that the elevators are now operational!

It's supposed to look sterile, white, and futuristic. I like it.

Ok, thanks for the info. I thought maybe that was the case, yet why are they going to so much trouble for a temporary structure? Seems like a waste to me, although I AM glad to hear it's temporary as you say.
