that's completely false, the tower has actually only around 76 floors, but no more...

Did they "invented" the 25 ghost floors just in order to be proud to say the tower has more than 100 floors ?

for example they say that the cubic base is 20 floors high...
NO, there are actually 6 floors !!

Moreover you pass directly from floor 93 to floor 100 ...
WTF ??

i really don't understand, someone could explain me please ?

I believe they are called mezzanine floors. 93-99

This building technically has 101 floors. This has been mentioned a billion times already if people listened. The base is 20 floors high so that is 20 floors right there. Then we go up to floor 92 with all of them being normal office floors. 92M is technically floor 93. Continuing onwards we have 94, and 95. 96, 97, and 98 belong to the observation deck, and then we have 99, 100, and finally 101 which is also the roof.

Actually the base does contain 4 mechanical floors.

i love it how in a few recent shots, that they somewhat resemble the picture of the twins when they were under construction at sunset, and you can see the sunlight passing thru the building only obstructed by the core...

The crane in the last shot NYguy posted makes the tower resemble the old twins.

GSA Poised to Become Third Tenant of 1 World Trade Center
By David M. Levitt and Martin Z. Braun - Jun 28, 2012 5:44 PM ET

Quote:

The Port of Authority of New York and New Jersey approved a plan for the U.S. General Services Administration to take five floors at 1 World Trade Center in lower Manhattan, making it the third tenant at the skyscraper.

The authority’s commissioners authorized the agency to agree to a 20-year lease with the GSA, with as many as four 15- year renewal options, according to a resolution adopted today. Total rent paid over the first 20 years would be $351.4 million.

“We made what we think is a very attractive deal,” Pat Foye, the Port Authority’s executive director, said after the agency’s board meeting.

A final agreement still needs to be signed. The 104-story tower would be 55 percent leased with the deal, agency officials said at today’s meeting. The 1,776-foot (541-meter) skyscraper, a centerpiece of the World Trade Center redevelopment, is scheduled to be completed by 2014.

The building’s main tenant is Conde Nast Publications Inc., which agreed last year to move its headquarters there from midtown Manhattan. Beijing Vantone Real Estate Co. (600246), a Chinese property firm, also has rented space. The Durst Organization, developers of 1 Bryant Park in Midtown, is overseeing leasing on behalf of the Port Authority as its partner in the project.

The GSA negotiates leases on behalf of federal agencies. It would take about 270,104 square feet (25,093 square meters) at the new skyscraper, according to the resolution. The U.S. Customs House was among the trade center’s original tenants, fully occupying the 750,000-square-foot 6 World Trade Center, one of the buildings destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001.
New Space

The federal agency waived its right to have 6 World Trade Center rebuilt in return for space in the new 1 World Trade Center, the authority said.

The GSA is “committed to finalizing the terms of our lease for space at 1 World Trade Center,” said Dan Cruz, the federal agency’s deputy press secretary, in an e-mail. “We continue to work closely with the Port Authority and the Durst Organization to negotiate a lease that will result in the best value for taxpayers, the federal government and the city of New York.”

The Port Authority has a number of potential tenants in the pipeline and rents have been escalating, Foye said.

“It’s indicative of the commercial success and progress that’s been made in leasing there,” he said.

Is this what I think it means, or am I comprehending this wrong? Are they considering building a new 6 World Trade Center now?

I don't know. That is what they said.

Seems like the exact opposite is true. They waved their right to have it built in favor of space in 1WTC.
