From what I was told, there are supposed to be two more coming for a total of four.

Cool! That crane is going up quick. I checked it just a few hours ago and it was the base only, now it's almost as tall as the first one!

This is great. For some reason it feels like the freedom tower is really coming along.

Daquan13 · #**865** Posted **May 11, 2007, 7:52 PM**

But don't forget, the rest of the steel is still about a year away.

But at least there's more activity there than it was two years ago.

It's just a rendering, and not a very accurate one: 2, 3, and 4 areWAY too short and puny compared to actual plans.

Yeh, the peak of 200 Greenwhich Street should reach the roof of the freedom tower!

Not as off as you think. The Freedom Tower is already taller than those others. Placing the FT closer to the forefront in the rendering just makes it appear even taller than the others. Likewise, tower 4 will be taller than the WFC. It's just further back in the rendering.

Added the heights to this model. Impressive by any standards. And this just Downtown Manhattan.
Towers just as large coming for Midtown...

Roof heights are in white.

Now according to what I've heard, there will be six floors of mech. space and the obs deck and restaurant below that. Is that true or false?

"Twin Freedom Towers"... did some fun photoshopping and included the other towers WTC 2 (Foster), 3 (Rogers), and 4 (Maki). See all the renderings here... based it on the images that were available at the time. The reflections/perspectives/shadows aren't perfect, but you get the idea.

That would look incredible!

Ghost · #**878** Posted **May 12, 2007, 4:44 AM**

Sure you can keep hoping (in fact I did as well for long time) but the fact of the matter is, it's not gonna happen.

DUBAI2015 · #**879** Posted **May 12, 2007, 6:15 AM**

Never gonna happen.
We have proof that one Freedom Tower will and is being built not a new set of twin towers or twin anything so too bad, so sad, boo-hoo, NEVER gonna happen.
So bite me.
