That early morning glow really made this picture look awesome! The same glow the old twins showed, now the Freedom Tower is filling in rapidly!

Beautiful.

Jeez, after seeing those last few photos I don't get how anyone could not be satisfied with 1 WTC, it's going to be stunning.

the link to the construction timeline wouldn't work, when is this suppose to be complete? I want to try and be there when it is completed

They should just clad with a darker-colored glass than the rest of the tower and leave it at that.

Thanks Zapatan.

Next jump (75 & 76) makes Tower One 937' 4". Tower 4 is roughly 540' tall

They have already installed many of the the columns for 75 and 76, as seen on the webcams today. They have also raised the blue cocoon on the South section.

I seriously just sat here drooling for a good minute at that wide photo of the skyline. It would be perfect if the weather wasn't overcast and the tower was complete. Totally desktop background worthy.

Wow! I've never seen them installing the stairs before xD! That's awesome.
Love the glass on GS in the bottom picture too.

I couldn't agree more! Glass base all the way to the bottom but with a considerably darker tint to it. I think it would look really classy.

JesseNewYorkCity · #**14899** Posted **Jul 27, 2011, 2:32 PM**

Does anyone know what time they will shut down the light at the very top of the WTC when it gets built?

You know like how the WTC 7, and Two World Financial Center Buildings have the light at the top that cuts on at night; Does anyone know what time the lights usually cut off?
