What is it with those lone initial columns anyhow? Are they cheating to meet some milestone or is there a real reason for those?

^ The top of parapet is 1373' measuring from Vesey Street entrance, which is 5' below the main lobby height. Eastern, western and southern entrances of the tower stand at the same elevation, if you measure from any of these entries then you'll have 1368' to the top of parapet.

No it isn't, silly...

Carlos, you have created so many back-stories for all the workers you see up there, that now you are imagining you see them when it's only the tops of the columns.

Love the updates as always.

Traynor you are wrong buddy, that is a man, that close up you enlarged is all pixelated.

Below is a fresh photo just taken with my 1,600mm lens and this time there are no construction workers visible, they are out to lunch!

Somebody's out to lunch, but I don't know if it's the construction workers.

Anywhoooo, I read in either this thread or its twin at SSC that the WTC Complex isn't Class A office space and can't compete with the office buildings in Midtown. This was said as if it's an accepted fact. Can anyone explain this to me? Surely, a skyscraper of this quality is Class A, and far better than those in Midtown built throughout the 20th century.

I don't know if this will affect 1 WTC or not. But could be very bad news

Concrete workers walk off World Trade Center job

By Daniel Massey
August 1, 2011

Quote:
Hundreds leave Tower 1 and transit-hub sites to protest lack of a new union contract. A full-blown strike could stall work at 34 construction sites around the city.

It seems 'contracts' and 'unions' will never been in the same sentence with positive news. Companies should really take the time to deal with contracts before they expire. Otherwise you're just asking for workers to do something about it. Hopefully they don't allow it to cause a huge delay.

Just like what NYguy quoted. This building will serve as a beacon of sorts. Even through many shades lower than STR's renderings,I just wanted to show what we'll be seeing in 2020.
