i'm so glad this project is finally rising above street level, this should shut all those who doubted it'd ever get built up!

Rise......rise up from the ashes....

Though why it was ever in doubt, I don't know. There have been major delays, sure. But the new WTC was always going to be built because it had to be. In that sense, it's different from other developments. It was only a matter of when it would be completed, not if. And with a project of this size, dates will change.

I don't know if it really was ever in doubt. Most likely it was just the media trying to cause trouble

eduardo88 · #**3765** Posted **Nov 1, 2008, 8:23 PM**

the media and a couple idiots on the forums...as NYguy said, there is no way i wouldn't be rebuilt, it would be stupid to think otherwise

I am very excited to see construction moving above "ground zero", now more accurately called the WTC site.
There is NO denying the progress and the momentum as construction moves on all fronts.

NOVEMBER 1, 2008

Now that we are seeing movement above ground, I'm going to be taking a gazillion Freedom Tower photos. Here are the first hundred...

1. The infant Freedom Tower is already becoming an attraction at the site, as well it should be.

2.

3. "Honey, it's so huge..."

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

10. New York loves a show, and the WTC site is fast becoming a great one

11.

12.

13.

14.

15.

16.

17.

18.

19.

20. The memorial rises around the old 1 WTC footprint, while the Freedom Tower rises in the background

21.

22.

23.

24.

25.

26.

Just seen these at Wired NY, Great update NYguy. The Freedom Tower's core has attratced much attention, and so far it's only structure to reach above street level. Imagine this site in a year from now, a forest of steel and concrete.

^ I cannot wait.

I don't wanna wait another year. aha
But I guess good things come to those who wait.

NYC4Life · #**3770** Posted **Nov 4, 2008, 1:59 AM**

We've waited several years just to see a concrete core rise above street level.

excel · #**3771** Posted **Nov 4, 2008, 9:16 AM**

America 117 · #**3773** Posted **Nov 5, 2008, 3:41 AM**

CoolCzech · #**3774** Posted **Nov 5, 2008, 7:03 AM**

Well, I've been too preoccupied with the elections to give this site much attention, but now that that's over with... WOW! So much progress all of a sudden! I never thought I'd see it...

M II A II R II K · #**3775** Posted **Nov 5, 2008, 3:40 PM**

Awesome set of pics NYGuy. Thanks for those. So good to see this progress.

Just-In-Cali · #**3778** Posted **Nov 7, 2008, 7:05 PM**

The picture where there are people standing in front of a large bank of windows overlooking the site, is the the WFC? Thats an awesome spot to watch progress from slightly above grade.

photoLith · #**3779** Posted **Nov 7, 2008, 7:42 PM**

It seems as though the tower has been at pretty much the same level for weeks now. Is it not rising fast due to all the work that has to go into prepping the ground floors with wiring and all that jazz?

MercurySky · #**3780** Posted **Nov 7, 2008, 9:01 PM**

Where should construction be by next September?
