What WAS going on I think were localized repairs.

A lot has happened. It's interesting though, as others have pointed out, that 2 new towers have gone up while Fitterman Hall remained relatively untouched.

Then there's also that Barkley Street Tower that blocks the Woolsworth Tower view from the WTC site! hehehehe...

Do you mean Barclay Tower condominiums ?

Surrealplaces · #**3865** Posted **Nov 21, 2008, 7:23 PM**

The whole area is really coming along. I can't wait to see it when it's finished. I plan on making a trip down to see the area in person once it's compete.

That would be the one...

Seems like the forms cladding has been removed from the most recent core pour rather than jumping to the next level. Maybe we are getting ready for more steel and a different core method from here?

Answering my own question .... no.... illusion caused by lighting from a different angle.

[When will steel start to rise on wtc1?

I love the sight of all those cranes.

I have a question, what about 5 and 6 world trade center, aren't they going to rebuild those?
because the last one is 4 and then it skips to 7.

I think that there's going to be a small WTC 5, but I'm not sure about 6.

Austin55 · #**3872** Posted **Nov 24, 2008, 2:56 AM**

what about the center for performing arts thing?

photoLith · #**3873** Posted **Nov 24, 2008, 3:55 AM**

There is a serious lack of pictures on this forum.

pattali · #**3874** Posted **Nov 24, 2008, 6:14 AM**

You are right but it so difficult on this site to take some photo, exceptions are Joe Woolhead at http://joewoolhead.blogspot.com/, NyGuy's tour , WTC Earthcam , View from WFC at http://www.rebuildgroundzero.org/, anonymous from Hilton's Hotel, WFC, North gateway, One Liberty plaza and more.

The is the planned 5 WTC, but there are a few other buildings that could take up the "6" including the PAC, the memorial Pavilion, or the memorial museum. There's always the matter of the hotel space to be worked out.

5 will go where the old Deutsch bank building is after they tear it down. 7 is named 7 because that was the name of the original building in that location. There's no plans for a 6.

^ They aren't calling anything "6" yet.

WTC Special Report #1: Freedom Tower Rises

Monday, November 24, 2008
by Sarah Hromack

Sweet, sweet Freedom Tower: One day, we will see your spire climb all the way up to 1,776 gloriously patriotic feet. Not until the fourth quarter of 2013, however, if the Port Authority's most recent progress update is to be believed. With construction costs on the rise, the David Childs-designed tower will cost $3.1 billion. (Within 7% of the original estimate. Bargain!) Bonus fun fact: over 13,000 cubic yards of concrete have already been poured down the Freedom Tower's throat, though that number is likely higher by now. And now that the concrete's a flowin', the real challenge will be finding tenants to fill that 2.6 million square feet of office space. A worry for another day.

Will the path station be built and opened before freedom tower is?
And what about the underground mall?

TANGELD_SLC · #**3880** Posted **Nov 25, 2008, 5:57 AM**

This is going to be a beautiful tower, but I think it's sad that progress has been so slow. Yep, it's QUITE the message we're sending to the rest of the world.
