Epic pictures. Lets you see how tall this monster is from street level. I love the one of the glass, looking right up the exterior.

God, I love Beekman! It's just one flat out cool looking tower. When WTC 1 matches and passes it's height, it's going to be one awesome look!

I think you mean the side of the roof square, right? Well, given that the base square is 200 x 200 feet, the roof square should be 141.42 x 141.42 feet

I would not be surprised at all to see this thread pass 1,500 or even 2,000 pages by the time this building is finally completed.

Just incredible pics you are all posting! Thank you.

If anyone is able to post a panorama from the WTC Club Quarters patio I'd love to see what the area looks like now months after my visit in October.

I have been slacking lately with going down there and taking pictures, I apologize. I hope to get some next week for my birthday!

Until then, great pictures everyone, keep it up!

^^^ magnificent!!!!!

Biff · #**13996** Posted **Jun 8, 2011, 6:26 PM**

sheeeeeeeesh, other than the actual office space, why build it? You could just have STR render you a better than lifelike model and be done.

Absolutely beautiful man.

UrbanImpressionist · #**13997** Posted **Jun 8, 2011, 7:08 PM**

@STR - You have mad rendering skills!

I had wondered before if the ESB might be able to be seen reflected of One WTC from somewhere in the Times Sq or Upper West side? (like maybe One Penn Plaza, 440 west 42nd street, or the Silver Towers at 620 West 42nd Street. I think another topic took of and my query was lost in the mix.

Any chance you could try and render that (day and/or night)?

STR · #**13998** Posted **Jun 8, 2011, 7:35 PM**

It's 4 miles away. The reflection would be too diffuse at that distance. You wouldn't be able to tell what you're seeing.

I figured that is likely the case but still thought it MIGHT be possible (more so at night due to the high contrast between the lights and dark sky).

This rendering has the Statue of Liberty visible during the day. According to Google Earth's ruler the SoL is 2.3 miles from One WTC and the ESB is actually just 2.9 miles away so doesn't seem completely impossible.

Wow, STR's renderings are better than the one from Silverstein Properties. You're a genius STR

Btw, the reflections in STR's rendering are breathtaking
