That 'competition' was more of a public modern art exhibition than anything-- the participants each used the 5WTC site as a way to express their own thesis or statement through some kind of bold visual or metaphor. It looks like there are a few interesting actual designs in there, but the fact that the most widely highlighted ones include a hand-drawn daycare centre and a poorly photoshopped 1WTC and 432PA reflects what the point of the competition was.
I'm happy with this height and design, as one of the last pieces of a unified, coherent WTC. If each WTC tower had tried to outshine its siblings (2WTC included) it would make a mess of the whole thing. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oWHX23quzE Since Goldman won the election recently, the design of 5 WTC is more likely to be changed now if one of the alternate plans he's pushing has that. Meanwhile, as of this past week, the marble cladding on the top of the dome on St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church is nearly finished, and the top marble panels capping the west entrance have been placed. However there still remains a lot of work to be done on the western roof sections and some other parts of the dome with missing marble panels. Over the past few weeks, in addition to placing fixtures along the edges of the dome, there was also landscaping and paving work done on the southern side of the church.

This is a Port Authority development. They’ve issued the design guidelines. No elected official can do anything but complain about it. Even if they could, this design wouldn’t hinge on who won an election.

A poster on skyscrapercity suggested that construction work on 5 WTC would begin around mid 2023, around July to October. Whatever is ultimately chosen to be built, it is not likely that construction will get underway until the 2nd and 3rd quarter of 2023, unless they are particularly ambitious about getting started with construction in the first quarter of 2023. |
Earthcam of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church has been down for a few days now.
https://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork...cam=stnicholas However this article says the painted iconography inside the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church is essentially complete. https://www.thenationalherald.com/st...and-the-world/ Quote:

The slender view of One WTC as viewed looking northwest from the southern portion of the WTC site is finally coming into its own as equally imposing, it just needed a finished St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church to frame it properly: just like views of One WTC as viewed from the east at street level have improved with the construction of the PAC. https://newyorkyimby.com/wp-content/...48-scaled.jpeg https://newyorkyimby.com/wp-content/...-2-scaled.jpeg https://newyorkyimby.com/wp-content/...d-2-scaled.jpg |
St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church is currently expected to open on November 1, 2022

Most recent NYC city planning commission discussing 5 WTC, starting around 1:00:00 and ending around 1:24:00
Controversy as PAC developer Perelman weighs in on affordability of 5 WTC https://hyperallergic.com/762401/per...r-controversy/ There was an update about what the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox church looks like on this website http://fieldcondition.com/blog/2022/...ational-shrine No new news since then. Webcams that would show construction on the WTC site have been down or are not updating. It remains to be seen if the church will open on November 1, 2022 as previously announced. |
St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church is unsurprisingly still not complete. However, it seems there have recently been small signs of construction moving further to completion.
October 31 2022 https://static.earthcam.com//hof/new...8184387_52.jpg November 18 2022 https://static.earthcam.com//hof/new...4475473_58.jpg Night view October 31/November 1 2022 https://static.earthcam.com//hof/new...8797893_57.jpg Night view November 18/November 19 https://static.earthcam.com//hof/new...0801664_27.jpg This is assuming of course that the panels placed on the top of the dome won't again be removed (which they have been in the past). The western roof terraces still look unfinished. There is this recent article from https://www.goarch.org/-/11-2022-st-...h-thanksgiving commemorating Thanksgiving: Quote:

St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church is officially open

Construction on all parts of the church still seems incomplete, since there are still missing panels on the western dome, work on the roof still looks incomplete with equipment laying around, the eastern stairway leading up to the church from Greenwich Street is still not open to pedestrians that aren't construction workers, and machinery, barriers and construction vehicles on Liberty Street still haven't completely cleared out. Image from first article of missing panels on western dome https://www.ekathimerini.com/wp-cont...34-960x600.jpg Approximately 8:30 am eastern December 6, 2022 https://static.earthcam.com//hof/new...3325381_67.jpg The newly opened church is one block east of the original church's location. https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...troyed-on-911/ Quote:

It's great to see the church has reopened here. Hopefully we'll see WTC tower 5 rise in a few years, along with (of course*) WTC tower 2.

Looks like they finally fixed the lighting panel on the western part of the dome on St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church. Northern stairway appears to be open too, but with work continuing on the southern garden area. The western part of the roof still looks incomplete compard to the eastern part of the roof.
Also if the 5 WTC project is delayed, don't blame Silverstein: Larry Silverstein follows @NYCMayor at NYU real estate conference, says among other things that the progressive city council “hinders the hell out of him.” |
