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

[upNaway]

Hey im new here but iv been readin thsi forum for years and have been watching this tower rise from ground break. I was just wondering if anyone could get photos from inside the core that be pretty dam awsome its like the most hiden part of the building thanks.

[FerrariEnzo]

Highly doubt it and I wouldn't even want those posted for security concerns... this building is already a target. That being said some people always tend to get access to crazy places every once in a blue moon so if they popped up it wouldn't surprise me.

[NYC4Life]

Yeah, probably the best we'll see are existing photos from the outside of when the core was under construction.

[uaarkson]

There are numerous shots from inside the core on the official WTC website.

[upNaway]

yeah it totaly agree if its to do with security then thats the main thing

Happy Easter everyone :)

[Wheelingman04]

How high is it now like 300ft or so?

[FerrariEnzo]

Around 250-260 I think.

[uaarkson]

It's just about as tall as the tallest in my city (hideous blue and gray box):

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RBw-psMN_Ew/SIka44i4pkI/AAAAAAAABNM/XcTvf3qU_4A/s400/flint.jpg

Driving east on I-69, I have one hell of a time picturing the base of 1WTC in place of that building. That really drove the scale of this project home for me.

[Zensteeldude]

There are numerous shots from inside the core on the official WTC website.

I think you are confusing interior shots of the Memorial with the core. I see no pics taken inside the core.

There are a number of shots taken within the tower, but the core has not gotten to those floors yet.

The current top of steel is about 4 feet above the 24th floor, elevation 239' 4", so call it 243 feet.

The tower is now higher than it is wide.

[uaarkson]

Maybe they're not on the official website (and I'm pretty sure there are), but there were definitely some shots of workers setting up rebar in the core.

[upNaway]

Is it just me or does it look like they are putting up the forms around the perimater colums for the concrete wall ?

[Innsertnamehere]

as it looks like they finally filled in the space theve been leaving out for the 18000, i'm guessing its job is done? and if so, will it be torn down or moved to a different spot on the site?

Taken down and moved into the east bathtub to work on the transit hub

[canadate]

Took these about three hours ago. I'm in the Whole Foods in trbeca right now but I'm heading back over to the site in a few to get some more photos. Things are pretty exciting at the site today...a lot of activity and a load of tourists. Looking good :tup: More photos will be posted tonight.

[kenratboy]

Yup, now the hard part is done (the base levels), and the weather is getting better, this thing should just take off.

[FerrariEnzo]

^the photographer stitched it from like 20+ pictures. Hard to balance all those colors~!

[Zensteeldude]

Maybe they're not on the official website (and I'm pretty sure there are), but there were definitely some shots of workers setting up rebar in the core.

OK, my mistake, I thought you were referring to pics taken inside the core after the forms were striped. (Too bad, I would really like to see some)

Great pics Canadate!

The anchors well be embedded into the edge of the office floor slabs.

Remember guy's when this mock up was posted a while ago. I was just wondering if this mock up for a base or actual office floors?

[Zensteeldude]

That mock up is for the office floors.

<goes back to listening to Robin Trower>

"Been a long time crossing, the bridge of sighs!"

The base well be covered in a double layer of stainless steel grating and prismatic glass.

<goes back to listening to Disturbed, 10,000 fists !>

Yes, knowing every single detail about the Tower and not being able share it all really sucks.

Durst Once Dissed Freedom Tower—But Now He Wants a Piece!

By Eliot Brown
April 6, 2010

In February 2007, Douglas Durst was no fan of the Freedom Tower. The prominent landlord broadcast this view not only to his peers but to everyone: He took out full-page ads in the city’s major papers with an open letter to then governor Eliot Spitzer asking him to halt construction of the 1,776-foot tower at the World Trade Center.

“Why, now, is the government planning to pay for the construction of an overly expensive design to be occupied by government agencies at overly expensive rents, all at the expense of taxpayers’ money which could be put to better uses?” asked the letter, signed by Mr. Durst and Anthony Malkin, an owner of the Empire State Building. “The Freedom Tower, at a cost of $2.4 billion, is far too important an undertaking to be mired in inefficient planning, hasty design, or occupancy by government agencies paying submarket rents.”

Mr. Durst has had a change in heart.

With the tower now more than 200 feet off the ground, he is one of four bidders vying to buy a stake of the building from the Port Authority, which is developing the tower, since renamed One World Trade Center. With a desire to have a real developer as the public face of the building, and with the appeal of some cash, the Port Authority is choosing between Mr. Durst’s the Durst Organization, Mort Zuckerman’s Boston Properties, Stephen Ross’ Related Companies and Hines Interests, each of which have offered about $100 million for a non-traditional equity stake in the tower.

Perhaps Mr. Durst no longer thinks the giant new tower will flood the market with too much space. Perhaps he’s come around to love a design he criticized. Perhaps he’s changed his sour views on using government tenants to prop up the tower and pay more than they normally would.

Or maybe he just smells a good offer at a time when prices are low, and any allegations of a double standard are far outweighed by the appeal of the deal.

After all, while Mr. Durst is comfortably seated in his new, full and wildly successful Bank of America tower, across from Bryant Park, many of his colleagues in the industry are cash-poor and busy shuttling among angry lenders seeking to reclaim their buildings.

“Timing is everything in real estate, and we think now is the time for One World Trade Center,” said Mr. Durst, who followed in father Seymour’s footsteps to oppose construction of the World Trade Center. “It is going to be the only new building downtown and possibly the only new building in the city at the time.”

Plus, why engage in futile opposition when a good deal awaits?

“The building is going to go ahead no matter what anybody says,” he said. “Similarly with the Times Square redevelopment project, we bitterly opposed that, but once the decision was made to go forward, we were a part of it.”

“That is,” he added with a facetious tone, “in the past we’ve been against something before we were for it.

Thanks for the post HomrQT - That's a captivating image !

[steveve]

I agree with the "WTC" ghosts... They really remind me of the twin towers...

The memorials have really come a long way and they look great! The outline of the twin towers make the site that much more interesting :) Can't wait till the "junk" around the memorials is cleared and replaced with grass/trees :) !

So there's not going to be any windows on the lowers floors, am I right? Is that going to be office space or what?

:previous: That's a good thing, the iron oxide acts as a bonding agent for the fireproofing.

I can already imagine the tower soaring from this point. Great pics everyone, keep'em coming.

[Puzzlecraft]

Is the brown steel going to be welded too? Thanks in advance.

[sparky212]

quick question what is with the blue scaffolding near the top

[Wheelingman04]

This is like a dream come true. We all have been waiting forever but the pieces of the puzzle are coming together and I think everything is going to work out fine with the whole site. I WTC is amazing and I think it will gain the title as one of the best modern skyscrapers ever built. NYC's downtown area will look even more powerful than before and really represent the healing process of the people who's lives were greatly effected by the tradgedy of Septmeber 11th 2001. Again I must say RIP to the victims.

[Zensteeldude]

Thanks for all the great pics everyone !

The brown steel is just unpainted. If you look at the closeups you can se areas of very light grey, that's where stuff gets welded together.

quick question what is with the blue scaffolding near the top

Those are work platforms, the blue netting is fall protection. There is alot of work to be done at the edge of the floor slabs and they just make all that work alot safer to do.

M18000 parts to be lowered, tomorrow? From EarthCam a couple hours ago.

Wow, i think all these buildings going up in lower manhattan should be called the new center, its totally changing the face of new york!

[NYguy]

Check the website for more info. The hotel made news a few weeks ago because it "celebrates" the view of construction, while some may see that as a negative...

[Dirty Sandpit]

Can someone tell me what's going on here? It looks like they're pouring some kind of footing:

[Dac150]

From what I’ve read that is a support track for one of those big red cranes (like the ones we’ve seen for Tower 1).

[Continental180]

i think earthcam has been frozen for the past couple of days.

same shot over again.

:previous: i agree, i was just on it, at 9:00 new york time, andit was still bright like it was noon!

That is the crane pad for the Manitowoc 18000 (Bigger Red) that was disassembled from the Tower One site over this past weekend.

DCM is moving it to the hub to begin there work over there. (and man, do they need it)

Morrongiello doesn't have a pro account so he's capped at only 200 photos. I hope someone is downloading those pics-- they'd make a great time-lapse.

Hey, does anybody know if the new One World Trade Center Tower will have automated window washing machines like the former Twin Towers?

[uaarkson]

No, they'll have guys with plunger shoes cleaning the windows via toothbrush.

[canadate]

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I'm almost definite that it's the transportation hub. Towers 2 and 3 are supposed to be to the immediate right and left.

Most likely yes. I hope that T3 will start soon.:tup:

[NYC4Life]

I don't think work on the foundations for Towers 2 and 3 have begun yet. This appears to be the platform for the crane that'll work on the transit hub.

[Innsertnamehere]

thanks for fixing it, it came up as a little box with an x in it, witch happens to alot of photos i see on the internet... so i thought it was good and others would be able to see it.

The Twins didn't have automated WW machines, they had hanging scafold mounted on remote control outriggers.

Pritty much the same setup as Tower One, with one exception, the outriggers well run on a ring track just below the comuincations rings.

Search my posts, I posted pics of the WW equipment prints.

Hey NJIT. my old school .

One of the WW rigs can be seen on the right.

^ Always look forward to more of those drawings.

[MadGnome]

I remember that view. Use to go up there every chance I had when I was on Governor's Island. Some days there would be low lying clouds that topped out at about 1000', and it would be empty because people thought they wouldn't be able to see anything. You'd be up there in the sunlight in the middle of the most magical panorama you'd ever seen, and they'd be down walking in the fog.
It was a real shame hearing that the new guy won't have a rooftop observation deck. It's just not quite the same, looking out a window.

You know what? We're lucky to be getting anything at all up there. So I'll take what we're getting and be happy about it. Could have been much higher as well (as it was originally planned), but it is what it is.

I can't imagine this thing being taller than the financial centers, it seems so thin from this angle, its going to be crazy!

[OneWorldTradeCenter]

Maybe I will get some of them. I'm in contact with one guy from CTBUH. He asked SOM for drawings. Unfortunately he did not get any replies until now. But when he gets some elevation drawings, he promised the send those drawings to me.

I love the curved facade of that building on the left, of the photograph.

[CGII]

Just discovered I can see the cranes working on WTC1 from my apartment, though not yet the building. Yesterday I renewed the lease for another year, so we'll see when it gets past the Park Row building.

[Domamania]

it seems like they completly slowed down on the progresson of tower 1v2. i wonder why?

[Onn]

Great shots, NYguy!

[Bucktown718]

yeah may i ask why in the past 2 weeks there wasn't so much of progress on the tower?

[SkyscrapersOfNewYork]

i thought it was just me but this towers progress has rlly slowed down

[evanmack]

i thought it was just me but this towers progress has rlly slowed down

I was thinking the same thing. :cool:

[2-TOWERS]

its seems that way but its the internal steel is getting in place, the outer steel will be in place fast.

[JSsocal]

Right now you can see they are wrapping the four levels so far with the blue tarp that will eventually follow the building as it rises, that along with work inside the tower is probably the cause

BTW RockMont that is the Goldman Sachs New World Headquarters
