NEW YORK | One World Trade Center | 1,776' Pinnacle / 1,373' Roof | 108 FLOORS

[MadGnome]

Look from the aerial picture you can clearly tell that One World Trade Center has surpassed the Beekman Tower in height. That proves anyone that doubts it wrong.

I'm just taking a shot in the dark here, but you have no idea what the Beekman building is, do you?
Either that, or you don't know what perspective is.

Is it just me,or does anyone realize that 1 WTC, although tall,will be pretty skinny and weak in the skyline? If all the buildings were being constructed at almost the same time,this wouldn't be an issue,but now we won't be able to see the real strength of the new WTC until 2015.

[Roadcruiser1]

It's on the upper left of the Woolworth Building. You can see a silver of the building or if you want New York by Gehry.

First of all, you're looking at the skyline from quite an elevation. Any aerial shot will to some degree make a supertall's height look less than what it is.

The there's the issue of perspective. 1WTC is situated further away from 7WTC, making distance another role player in perceived height.

If every skyscraper in that view right now were lined up an one big-ass row, 1WTC to crane-tip would be surpassed only by American International and 40 Wall. I think... Corrections/updates are greatly appreciated.

i never looked at it that way but you are right. i love 7WTC but always yearned for it to be taller but i guess that's because of the void in the skyline:( so, yeah, it is a great compliment to 1WTC and the others too when their time comes:cheers:

So looking at that it appears that it hasn't surpassed Beekman, yet.

[Fishman92]

:previous: That picture doesn't show the current structural steel.

[Alliance]

The steel is up another floor today. From my apartment it still doesnt look taller than Beekman though.

[sw5710]

I did a little math. The current steel going up is to 883'8'' The cranes have been jumped up and are about 20 building floors tall going from floor 70 at 853' to near 1125' Aviation charts show the top of Beekman at 895' above sea level and the building at 867' above the street.The street is 28' above sea level in that area. I don't know the ground elevation at 1 WTC.

[Matt]

Hopefully when we do surpass Beekman, we can finally put to rest all these posts about whether or not we've surpassed Beekman yet... :rolleyes:

[Traynor]

As far as I knew, with the latest core steel rising to 883'8" then we definitely passed Beekman/Gehry...

I hope so because I already posted the updated Lower Manhattan Checklist the other day:

(compiled from the Diagrams Page found here: http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?cityID=8 )

[sw5710]

Yes 1 WTC is now 883'8'' tall. taller in building height then the The 867' or 870' Beekman. The Beekman is on higher ground arround 20 feet higher.

well, i think the hills on Staten Island facing Manhattan (obviously) may be the spot, you can easily get all three NY things ( Miss Liberty, Midtown and Lower Manhattan) in there as well as Jersey City in one shot :yes:

[kickser]

^^ AND the BK skyline ;-)

[uaarkson]

Based on what I've seen, the best views will come from the JC promenade.

Condé Nast Picks Architect for 1 WTC Digs

By Lucia Moses
June 29 2011

Condé Nast has chosen architecture firm Gensler to design its new headquarters at 1 World Trade Center in New York. The firm will develop Condé’s 1 million square feet of space in preparation for the company’s move, which is expected to take place in 2015.

So LM is back, thanks to 1 WTC. MM could have exploded if BoA and Conde Nast had showed any balls in setting the heights for their towers, both of which rock, but instead that farcical chode 15 Penn building is going to do it for them. Two steps forward, one step back. :tup: Into the future, NY!

LM is coming back indeed. Unfortunately Nomura who have a lot of space in 2 WFC and were linked with WTC office space are moving to 1 Worldwide Plaza in Midtown West in 2013. Their loss.

Outdoor Observation Deck at One World Trade Center a No-Go, Developer Says

June 17, 2011
By Jill Colvin

Mayor Michael Bloomberg would be among the visitors to an outdoor observation deck at the soon-to-be-completed One World Trade Center — that is, if there were one.

But because of logistical issues, the new One World Trade Center will include two stories of indoor observation space on its top floors, but no outdoor deck, the developer says.

The steel that went up from 72-74 is a corner node.

[sw5710]

You can't have the public on the roof of 1 WTC with a 350' or 400' tower broadcasting right there. Too close. That is why it was ok for the public on the roof of the other twin tower. Not the same risk with the RF!

[STR]

From just two weeks ago:

The antenna really has nothing to do with it. Long explanation why it isn't, but in short, you get a higher RF dose from your cellphone when it's only getting 1 bar of signal. Despite the recent WHO sorta-kinda-maybe ruling, phones aren't dangerous either.

The lack of an observation deck is entirely due to the fact that the towers are going to be self-contained air-cooled structures. The previous buildings were water cooled, which opened up the tops of the buildings for other uses. Sticking an observation deck on top of the cooling plant is just not economical. They actually tried it with this building, original plans put the Obs. Deck and restaurant above the plant, but it got rearranged during value engineering.

Cool stuff.

[sw5710]

1 Bar on a cell is more RF then standing besides a transmitting tv tower? I never heard that before. My cell would sometimes not work it was getting squashed when I worked on or near transmitting towers up untill 10 years ago. But the self-contained building i can understand that situation in not putting a deck on the roof. There won't be a rooftop deck on any building on this site. It looks like 1 WTC is going to be verry crowded with broadcast equipment.

[STR]

1 Bar on a cell is more RF then standing besides a transmitting tv tower? I never heard that before.

Probably because you're not familiar with the inverse square law. RF exposure levels drop rapidly with distance. By the time you get to 200 feet, you're getting a higher dose from a 1 watt cellphone an inch away from your head, than the 50,000 watt broadcast antenna. Especially since the TV antenna is focusing the majority of its energy in a linear direction parallel to the horizon. Standing at the base, away from the broadcast direction, means you're getting an even lower dose.

By the time you get to 200 feet, you're getting a higher dose from a 1 watt cellphone an inch away from your head, than the 50,000 watt broadcast antenna. Especially since the TV antenna is focusing the majority of its energy in a linear direction parallel to the horizon. Standing at the base, away from the broadcast direction, means you're getting an even lower dose.

That is the key Away from the broadcasting direction.

1 Bar on a cell is more RF then standing besides a transmitting tv tower? I never heard that before. My cell would sometimes not work it was getting squashed when I worked on or near transmitting towers up untill 10 years ago. But the self-contained building i can understand that situation in not putting a deck on the roof. There won't be a rooftop deck on any building on this site. It looks like 1 WTC is going to be verry crowded with broadcast equipment.

It's a little counter intuitive, but if you think about it, the weaker the receive signal on the phone, the higher the transmitted rf from the phone will be. The phone automatically adjusts transmit to be inversely proportional to receive, since weak receive means you're further away from the base transmitter, and need a stronger signal to reach back to it.

Standing near a transmitting tower is also nothing to worry about. The antennas are fairly directional and you're going to be beneath the beam. In fact, exactly below most antennas that are oriented horizontally if the weakest spot you can pick. The folks on the floors beneath the arrays aren't going to be picking up much of the signal.

The lighting scheme makes it look like a giant rocket pop.

That is the key Away from the broadcasting direction.

No, the key is distance. Direction is just a bonus.

This building is looking amazing, made a lot of progress since the last time that I saw it.

Will there be an observation deck in this tower because I will likie to go up there once it's completed.
Kind of sucks that there is no outside observation deck but I'm sure the developers had their reasons.

Dude, your answer is literally in the second-quoted sentence of NYGuy's post, sheesh...:duh

Please pay attention to the forum, guys, before you post, please.

But because of logistical issues, the new One World Trade Center will include two stories of indoor observation space on its top floors, but no outdoor deck, the developer says.



I take it, that since there the observation deck is going to occupy two floors, that one was added in place of the restaurant that was taken out of the equation.

Any new news on if they have broadcasters that will relocate back here. And I think the steel from 72-74 is a node on the SW or W side. The last time there were nodes they did the same jump up.
