How exactly is the glass on 4 WTC different from the glass on 1 WTC?

[patriotizzy]

This building will be just as towering as the others, just not as tall.

This was an older rendering? This one doesn't have the setback, so I'm presuming it is.

[Dac150]

^^^ That's the east side of the building - opposite the the setback.

[Davidsam52]

So, does anyone have any info on when the second crane will be re-installed? Apparrently they need it to raise the larger pieces of the cocoon (in conjunction with the existing crane?)

Wow, this building turned out so much better in real life than in renderings.

[Otie]

How exactly is the glass on 4 WTC different from the glass on 1 WTC?

Basically it has high levels of iron (as opposed to the extremely low iron glass being used at 1WTC) which gives the tower a very reflective surface. There's a variety of dimensions of the total panels but the standard ones are 2 inches taller than the ones at One, being 13'-6".

[NYguy]

^ Yeah, it's one of the most reflective in Manhattan.



This was an older rendering? This one doesn't have the setback, so I'm presuming it is.

Only two sides have the setback - the north and west. On the south and east, there is no setback, except the setback at the base on the east (Church St.) side.

Crane accident could stall completion of Four W.T.C.

March 21, 2012
BY ALINE REYNOLDS

The topping out of Four W.T.C. has been postponed by at least two months due to the loss of a crane that in mid-February dropped a pile of steel beams and somehow left construction workers and passersby unscathed.

“We have a little impact right now,” said Mike Goldberg, an executive at Tishman Construction, the firm charged with the build-out of Four W.T.C., at Community Board 1’s World Trade Center Redevelopment Committee last Monday, March 12. “We were looking at early May, [but] it’s probably going to be two months after that at this point.”

A source familiar with the construction of Four W.T.C. reported that the incident, which leaves the tower with only one crane at its disposal, has caused construction delays that could drag on for even more than two months, depending on how long it takes to get a second crane atop the building to replace the faulty crane. This could conceivably lead to the stalling of the building’s opening, which is expected to take between one-and-a-half to two years once the tower is fully built out, according to the source.

[SoaringSkylines]

So now they are saying it's going to top out in May just like One World Trade Center??

That all makes sense now. Thanks guys. I like buildings that trick me like that.

[NewYorkSkyline117]

How tall is it now?

[hunser]

^^ Should be around 830', a bit taller than One Chase Manhattan Plaza (813'). So it's currently the 11th tallest building in the city. Next building to surpass: GE Building (850').

[NewYorkSkyline117]

Wow so it should get up to about the 6th tallest when it's completed at the time

[Otie]

Top of steel is at floor 55, El. 1,123'-8" or about 812' above Greenwich Street. Add 4' for splices.

^The official height of 1WTC is 1776 feet, the extra 11 or so feet is from the lightning rod which I'm sure is not officially counted.

and, just curious, where does the 300+ feet of sea level come from? NY is at sea level, The Hudson river is sea level and Greenwich street is no more than 10 or so feet above it. :shrug:

I've seen various places say that NYC (Manhattan) is officially 33ft above sea level, but really it depends where you are. And the Hudson River can't be at sea level or it wouldn't flow towards the bay. Though 300 ft does seem like a lot.

[scalziand]

The 300' difference is because this is a PA project, and the PA uses a reference point that is 300' below sealevel so they don't have to use negative numbers for the depths of the subways.

Even though it is now taller than the Woolsworth Building by 24 feet now, after the next cocoon jump, it will clearly be seen dominating the Woolsworth Building entirely from the view of the Carlos Cam vantage point! :tup:

The new steel makes 4WTC taller now than Woolworth. Also the way the're going, it seems that they almost don't need that other tower crane at this point!:cheers:

[NewYorkSkyline117]

height now?

[davidinasia]

I suggested earlier that T4 might top out before T1 and this was pooh-poohed on the grounds that the crane accident slowed down T4. But I mean, come on people - there have been so many delays with T1; look at the rate T4 is going; the top floors of T4 are a much simpler and smaller floor plan than the top floors of T1; and there are only what, 6-8 floors left? And it's not even clear whether the crane lifting capacity is the limiting factor in the speed of construction, it's quite possible that assembly work could be the limiting factor.

I think it's gonna be close, that's all I'm saying.

[NewYorker2009]

:previous: I would say both Towers 1 & 4 are very close to topping out around the same time. Tower 4 has like 5 or 6 floors left plus the parapet and Tower 1 has a few floors left too. I don't think it matters at this point which one tops out first just as long as they are both close to the finish line. Even when Tower One tops out they still have to add the spire/antenna and then it will be officially topped out.

This steel takes the building past halfway on office floors after the setback (over 8 of 16) and to more than halfway up the setback (19 floors total). It's amazing to think how much taller this is going to be.

Should be ~830'. I'm sure Otie has the exact number.

Those columns bring Four at floor 57, El. 1,150'-8" or 838'-8" above lowest point at Greenwich Street, add +4' for column splices.

... Seeing that April 3 was 5 days ago, a lot can change. ;)

Yea but no new floors have been added since April 3, so it's the same information

^the black granite looks great^

This thing is getting really reflective materials :notacrook:

[Guiltyspark]

Do you even know what the Time Warner Center is..? Just saying, I live in Miami too and I only learn through this forum about the city, since not many foreigners like us Floridians know too much about it. By the way, that's really stupid to put your address up, kinda snobby too.

You mad bro?

I would say that most people who are interested enough in skyscrapers and architecture would know about the Time Warner Center, considering it was one of the bigger projects of the last decade.

He did not put his address up, just how high he lives. Do I sense jealousy?

This picture shows why this design was chosen for the wtc. I really like this building now, that setback just gets better and better, i didn't think i would like it that much.

[102ndFloorNYC]

Anyways, what will the lighting be like on this building?

Wow I expected someone with a camera would've picked up on this already, but the lobby glass was being affixed when I walked by the site on Friday morning. Looks very very nice :tup: someone go take pictures!

^ GREAT diagram, Otie! I keep forgetting how tall this one will be.

[CarlosV]

Otie thanks for that beautiful diagram but you need to adjusted!!!! :haha: a few feet taller now!!

UPDATE April 18, 2012

This should bring it closer to the 900 feet mark!!!! :)

^^ Awesome Otie. So 4WTC is currently the 9th tallest buildings in the city (868'). It has surpassed the TWT (861'). Next step: Beekman Tower (876').

The tower looks really tall now. :)

[meh_cd]

The lobby glass looks amazing as well! If all of the Silverstein towers end up looking like this, then poor old 1 WTC with that fortress base is going to be real sad looking.

[RoldanTTLB]

Crosspost!

Well well well. We have gotten way of topic here. Let us return, for a moment to Tower 4.

First, I do not see this cam linked to very frequently...

Second, the glass on the lobby is shockingly clear. I know Silverstein, Maki, and Co said it would be, but it's really hard to believe until you see it...

I knew 4WTC was going to top off first,and that one crane is amazingly doing it all by itself."The Little Crane that Could"
