Id say its probably due to the programming or something. cost efficiency on a technological level perhaps?

I'll say it's advertising from the fireproofing company Island International Enterprises.

With views like that, this building will sell itself.

Hey man, I'm not an engineer so I rather prefer someone else answers your question at a detailed level, better than what I'm capable to explain.

You do know that view is only going to be there for a few years at best.

Tenants from 2WTC will be experiencing that view.

LOL fair enough! It must be very challenging anyways just to hoist it up as the tower grows.

Carlos, If I am remembering this correctly ... I think there's a way in which it utilizes its own crane machinery to actually raise itself, but not sure of the exact details.

Otie, Your pics are great! I hope you'll post the other one on here that you already posted on that ... uhm ... other site. Great stuff.

Just like any other tower crane. However, I am not sure how they do it when the platform under the crane needs to be raised.
