It's so good to finally see the setback floors taking shape. All of a sudden 4WTC looks incredibly taller.

Nice Carlos!

Incredible to see OLP essentially dwarfed . . and to think the next two will dwarf one another.

There moving the right tower crane to the setback because where the right tower crane currently is, it's getting in the way of the floors that are being put up.

I'm surprised they would need two cranes now, due to the smaller floor plate.

And since these cranes are self hoisting and do not extend the height of the tower, I don't see how they "get in the way".

I bet they still remove the lower tower crane now that a new "base crane" is on the 1st roof.

^Huh. Who knew that 4wtc would (at least temporarily) terminate the view of a street. That's a neat shot.

NewYorkSkyline117 · #**2217** Posted **Jan 17, 2012, 10:00 PM**

Well, 1WTC hasn't gone anywhere in a month. This thing's gone up four floors at least. Can't really complain, though. At least it's going up!

Wish I could say the same about 1WTC, though it is going up... just really slowly...

1Boston · #**2220** Posted **Jan 17, 2012, 11:52 PM**

I don't really mind 1wtc slowing down as long as this speeds up. If this t/o soon then at least we'll have a new tower in the sky thats finished and shiny. And it would mean that the guys working at 4wtc could go to 1wtc and speed that process up.
