Correct. (My post didn't make that perfectly clear. (Pun intended))

There is no mirror coating added to the glass.

You are so lucky! I really look forward to visiting NYC as well one of these days. I was hoping to do so next year as well, or a little after 2012. I hope to be there when 1WTC is topped and the transportation hub is finished. That thing looks so amazing!

1 World Trade Center Hardhat Tour: Concrete, Steel, and Views

Monday, October 11, 2010, by Joey Arak

Quote:

As part of Open House New York weekend, we were lucky enough to snag a spot on one of the hardhat tours of 1 World Trade Center, what will one day be North America's tallest and most well-read skyscraper.

Steel has now risen to the 42nd floor of the tower, and the sturdy skeleton will continue to inch upward until the first month of 2012. That slow ascent won't stop the first chunks of glassy curtain wall from being installed, a process that will begin next month.

Realtors would kvell over these high ceilings.

Wide-open office floorplate up on the 25th floor.

Looking out over the memorial plaza site, including one of the tower footprints/waterfalls.

Inside the core.

The Port Authority let tour-goers sign the same steel column signed by the Lt. Gov. of New Jersey.

Eventually there will be walkways here, but for now, don't look down.

Talk about mixing old and new! The pre-war facade next door couldn't be closer.
We're guessing the Condé Nast research assistants will get stuck on this side.

Let's all give a big shout out to the Lads Down Under for those beautiful cranes making this all possible. As they did back in the 60's and 70's for the Twins.

Domamania · #**10379** Posted **Oct 13, 2010, 3:07 AM**

wow in 2 weeks tops Tower 1v2 will surpass the height of the verizon building, and i would say in 8 floors it will surpass the metlife aka panam building.
