Nice, thats great news that theres actually going to be a restaurant. I can't wait till this is done, im definitely gonna eat there. Also, what kinds of companies would run a observation deck? And besides maintenance and the restaurant, what would they have to do, it seems pretty self sufficient.

[aquablue]

Restaurants. That could be a fast food restaurant, for all we know!!!! :haha:

[WTCman7301]

We have restaurants, this is great! its better news than yesterday...:)

[NewYorkDominates]

For all we know it can be McDonald's as that can also be considered a restaurant.Yeah,but in all honesty I hope it's a restaurant like the one on the North Tower.

[jd3189]

Restaurants. That could be a fast food restaurant, for all we know!!!! :haha:

Nah, it doesn't really matter. the former South Tower had the same thing. I predicted this would happen. I even hoped for it to happen because I know for a fact that people aren't just going to visit 1 WTC to get a view of NYC. There has to be some sort of eatery. Now this project is getting good once again after the crappy west entrance redesign.

[NewYorkSkyline117]

Fixed

Thanks :)

[gramsjdg]

wait: so now the observation deck is going to be lowered from the 102nd floor to the 100th? That will put it around 1230-something ft, or 1240 at the most. The observation deck should be higher than any restaurants; not lower. Now it'll be 120 feet lower than Sears obs. deck and 230 ft lower than the CN Tower's Skypod...

Pathetic. :hell:

[Roadcruiser1]

RoadCruiser, your picture of the building from the little harbor in front of the winter garden, you didn't have a tripod did you?

No I had my cellphone. I must have saw you, but didn't recognize you. Nice pictures though, but I took more than you did :D.

That was a pretty dumb comment. They said that the 100, 101, and 102 floor will all be observation floors. The 101 and 102 floors will have restaurants as well.

Hold on,hold on little one.As far as the project goes 100,101,and 102 are all still observation decks with the possibility for the installment of eateries or restaurants.

1) The tourist and sightseeing companies.
2) They just need to clean and maintain the deck and the restaurants and earn profits.

[WorldTradeCenter]

That was a pretty dumb comment. They said that the 100, 101, and 102 floor will all be observation floors. The 101 and 102 floors will have restaurants as well.

It doesn't really matter-all the floors have windows on them, so what if it also has food?

[Davidsam52]

Remember, Top of the Wold Observation Deck had a nice snack bar in it, so the observation deck in the new tower will have at the very least something like that as well, I predict.

[NewYorkSkyline117]

Lol yea I probly walked right by you. Haha I guess its quantity over quality now? ;) and guys please just drop the whole restaurant thing, just like the antennae, wait and see. I hope you guys liked the pictures :)

restaurants!! Yeah!!!

Probably won't be a "Windows on the World" type, but anything is welcome.

Truly towering now, also the small details of this tower stand out. At different times of the day, it will be striking.



Restaurants. That could be a fast food restaurant, for all we know!!!! :haha:

Food is food. But with the number of people they are expecting to get coming through there, it makes sense to have some type of concessions.

[NewYorker2009]

Nice to hear they will put places to eat at the top of the Tower. It will probably be similar to the South Tower's 107th floor where they had Nathan's and Sbarro. If anything I'm sure fast food places will likely be up there because they would need to use an entire floor to do a Windows on the World type of restaurant and I rather have three observation levels than a restaurant taking up that space. If anything they can put restaurants in the concourse area.

[NewYorkDominates]

3 floors of space,each 23 feet tall.It would be quite impossible not expect an eatery.

Anyways,even eating a poptart 102 floors in the sky with 360 degree views will be amazing.You have remember how the windows are arranged will make it even more amazing.

Great pictures. I really like the way this last one shows the detail with the floors that are above the height of 7WTC. Is that picture from the Rock or ESB?

[kingsdl76]

Has it surpassed the Empire State Bldg in height?.. it looks so from this recent increase in height.

[sw5710]

About 5' to go till 1,250' The top row of beams are for floor 100 or 1,240' + the splices for the columns another 5 feet on that.

Good pictures Carlos! 7WTC is 842' to the splices and 135' to the top of the parapet. 1WTC is 1,244' to splices and 124' to the top of the parapet.

[dar124]

Love the pics!!!

Good morning NYC!!!

[NewYorker2009]

My guess is in order for the 100th floor to continue they have to raise core columns again so that should bring the Tower higher than the ESB once that happens and then new perimeter columns in the days ahead that will bring the Tower up to the 102nd floor.

[NewYorkSkyline117]

They could, also eventually put a restaurant on the upper floors of the other towers, if and when they get around to building the damn things, even if it isn't in tower #1.

[STR]

The 1WTC West Plaza redesign is a definite improvement. Now it separates the sidewalk and the tower plaza so as to maintain the movement of the streetwalkers while not encouraging 1,000 Europeans to sit on the stairs. 1WTC is not a museum and does not need to encourage loitering.

Ever sit right next to a 1,000+ foot shear vertical wall? The wind by itself will discourage loitering.

[CarlosV]

It gets used in far too many threads because it's a shorthand, not a typo. It's like "scraper."

[gramsjdg]

Well, since we are at 1244' or so, then it will be 22 feet higher than the top of construction right now, or 1266' (that is for the top observation deck level, which is 102)

[Roadcruiser1]

Are they going to put the central core up tomorrow?

They might. New steel came in.

It's Easter Weekend, so I doubt it. Most of the site was empty today (Good Friday) but they (@ WTC1) were working. I'm Impressed with the effort of late! If they work tomorrow then... a BIG :tup:

1WTC looks so incredible, it's been such a long road, I can't believe we are almost there!! So it's looking like perhaps the topping out of the steel will happen before the end of this month? :)

[NYguy]

There was seating on both sides of the tower, including between the planned PAC. It remains to be seen if seating has been removed there also.

Forget, for a moment, the long-distance view of the World Trade Center in which the twin towers were compass points of the metropolis. Remember, instead, the vast and largely isolated Austin J. Tobin Plaza, which defied almost every effort to make it welcoming. Recall the tangled spaces along Church Street and the blank walls along West Street.

...the architects of the Freedom Tower, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, worked on the plazas around the building with Peter Walker & Partners, which is also the landscape architect of the memorial.

On the plaza at Vesey and West Streets, the designers call for tiered seating at the base of the tower to encourage pedestrians to linger. Trees would be planted on the plaza as well as the sidewalks. To cut down on wind — that bedeviling feature of Austin Tobin Plaza — transparent windscreens would be constructed at the north end. There would be broad stairs instead of blank walls. The bollards would be slender slabs rather than stout cylinders.

As much as I love the glass one 1 WTC, I'm just amazed at how awesome the glass looks on 4 WTC. At first, 4 WTC was my least favorite. Now I wished they were making it a little taller. The glass is amazing and I like the design. So awesome! It's amazing we're so close to seeing these two wonderful buildings almost reaching roof height. It's been so much fun on here seeing everyones comments as they're built. The only good thing on waiting for 2 and 3 WTC is we get to enjoy this process all over again, once they start going up from the ground(ok 7th story on 3wtc). Just have to say, I'm more than impressed with both 1 and 4 WTC.

Is it me or is there something taboo against taking shots of the cranes lifting up material. I'm just saying, I haven't seen many shot of, say, the crane lifting steel up to the top. The cranes are just as must as icons as the building itself... Just curious...

Yes I did. But I think I was looking for something a little more vivid in terms of the steel moving up the side of the building. And in it normal color...

But nice pics,,, very nice pics. Some of the pics are on this page are the best recently. The one by NYCLuver @ 10:55 yesterday could be a post card. Beautiful angle. I guess Jersey-ite get the best view, but I live in Far Rockaway as well NYBoy75. Will get you some pic's from other end of the peninsula

What are those notches on One World Trade Centers top steel?

[NewYorkDominates]

Thank you, appreciate the compliment! :D

Yeah,you take one of the very best pictures in this forum.Greatly appreciated

[Roadcruiser1]

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but I didn't know that my museum trip would use my entire day. I didn't have an opportunity to get to the World Trade Center. I will when I have the time.

If you mean the scallops where the beams connect to the columns, they let the beams bend a little at that point. You don't want too rigid a connection or the loads would be too high there. Making sure the skeleton can flex the right amount where needed is a big part of designing these suckers.

Thanks so much, means a lot! :)

[2-TOWERS]

Happy Easter every one....Thankyou all for the best pictures yet....these last 4 pages or so have been some of the best quality pics yet....:cheers:

[NewYorkSkyline117]

I'd rather see 4 wtc top out first just so 1 wtc can keep dominating it more after that :)

[nygirl1]

Wouldn't it dominate by height alone anyway?

[NewYorkSkyline117]

More than it already is

[NewYorkDominates]

Doesn't the facade also seem to add extra height to the tower,or at least in a sense that the tower is continuous.

That's why I can't wait to see the tower embodied with its beautiful facade.I just hope they begin the installation process once again on the 16th of this month like Alan said.

I have been viewing this forum for a while, but haven't been able to contribute since I live here in Miami. Everyone takes incredible pictures here, but NewYorkSkyline117 i really love your distant shots, they are the farthest I've ever seen and it's a very impressive angle. Totally different perspective is amazing

I love this shot.. It makes it look like it just boundlessly soars to the endless sky.

[NewYorkSkyline117]

Thanks 102ndFloorNYC for the compliment, and welcome. ^^ I took a similar shot the other day, I lied down on a bench :)
