Question: Now that the two main tower cranes are up, will things begin to move faster?

The answer is yes right after they have all the lobby columns up it should start to fly up

Will that slightly offset foundation column be visible through the semi-clear lobby facade? I really hope not.

meh_cd · #**6246** Posted **Oct 19, 2009, 1:22 AM**

I don't think the lower columns are visible through the blast wall, just the columns above the huge ones. And even if it IS visible, it'll be on the least exposed side of the building. But something tells me they wouldn't half-ass this building like that.

Also, does anyone know the layout for the interior lobby of the new 1WTC? Will the lobby be similar to 7WTC, or will it be immensely spacious (with a mezzanine?) more akin to the former WTC?

westmc9th · #**6248** Posted **Oct 19, 2009, 8:12 PM**

did any perimeter columns go up today

Plokoon11 · #**6249** Posted **Oct 19, 2009, 8:29 PM**

There better be a new column or I want my money back!

Well I'm joking.

I honestly can't remember if they were there before 9/11, but I really don't think so. Most of the blocks around the site have them now.

Update from morrongiello...(Oct 19)

Do I see two more columns up on the north side in morrongiello's photo?

JSsocal · #**6252** Posted **Oct 19, 2009, 9:54 PM**

they've been up for a few days

Wired NY says this tower will be 110 stories? What the hell.

BStyles · #**6254** Posted **Oct 20, 2009, 12:56 PM**

Technically with all the mechanical floors, it should be.

In that Rebuild Ground Zero picture, 1WTC is really starting to look like it's predecessor in it's construction phases from back in the day. I think it's really enlightening.

There is a drawing that refers to floor 110 but I have only been able to find 109 numbered floors. That 109 includes the communications rings above the roof.

The actual floor count is around 92, not counting the basement levels. With those it's 97.

westmc9th · #**6256** Posted **Oct 20, 2009, 10:11 PM**

anyone got pics of the west side i wanna see the new columns

RoldanTTLB · #**6259** Posted **Oct 21, 2009, 1:17 AM**

mmmm... GS Hotel!

Here's some more...

...only 3 columns to go.

meh_cd · #**6260** Posted **Oct 21, 2009, 1:57 AM**

Looks like they're getting ready to pour the north end of the western plaza, as well. Those are some huge concrete columns.
