NEW YORK | One World Trade Center | 1,776' Pinnacle / 1,373' Roof | 108 FLOORS - Page 566

well yeah those are projects in the Lower East Side. As ugly as they are, New York Still runs arguably the most successful low income housing system in the U.S., (however they're now running out of money).
============

As for 1WTC how many more floors are there until the diagonal columns cross over the vertical columns? Every week I think it will be the next floor, and yet they still haven't met yet.

The diagonal columns cross the vertical beams near the 56th floor.

I predict early January.

it's Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village and it isn't half bad actually. I just walked through that area during the fall. I actually like the Lower East Side. The progress at 1WTC is amazing isn't it?

HD cam is finally back up and running.

a lot of progress has been made, especially over the trains.

Is it just my eyes playing tricks on me, or are those holiday lights on the first few office floors of the building? Seeing this right now on the HD cam.

^Good eye!

Awesome Lights! Really gets you in the mood!

I sure hope there are no electricians working at night on those lower floors during the holidays.

When it becomes taller than 7WTC then that will be when all of Brooklyn can see it.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe 50 was where it was supposed to be, at the end of this year. If so they're a month ahead of schedule, and I'm impressed.
