Hi, everyone.

Having followed the construction of the World Trade Center since I first visited New York in 2010, I finally registered on Skyscraperpage today. It is truly amazing to see the towers rise, and I can't wait to visit NYC again this October.

Thanks to all who posts updates, especially CarlosV. Thank you for your great work!

Her are some pictures from WTC Progress on Twitter.

Great as always, Carlos. Thanks for taking the time to keep us all updated - hopefully I can save my pennies and stop by this summer so I can take in that view.

Yes... I understand that

What I am saying is, to be counting as height, dosent a spire have to be a spire, and not an antenna covered in paneling. This argument has always been that if something has a function (like the antennae on top of Sears) then it does not count toward height. But if it is purely architectural (say like the spire on BOA) then it does. This "spire" is not architectural, it s a fancy antennae.

I would consider it architectural due to the fact that it enhances the look of the tower itself. Yes it is a radio antenna but it is there also as an architectural element.

It's about time this building has more new steel going up after two months of no steel going up.

NYC GUY · #**19552** Posted **Jan 28, 2012, 6:53 PM**

Yes but some building that have spires as part of a design are made to handle antennas, so what is the damn difference? The freedom tower's mast is designed to look nice, therefore architectural, its not like there putting a generic TV tower up there.
