It's incredible how quickly the glass is beginning to rise at this point......it seems like yesterday that it had just passed 7 WTC. Any answers for this?

It's been a couple of weeks since the glass passed 7 WTC, maybe you're just not that observant. I don't think the cladding has been going up at an alarming speed, it's pretty normal I think.

WOW. Carlos, how much more time do you think it will take to top out?

Can't wait until all those towers are built. Wonder what the view will be like then.

Yeah, I didn't think so, but I honestly don't care. It's a free forum and I can reply to whatever I want.

That's around my stepmom's birthday. And there's a pretty good chance I'll be able to visit the site next summer,when the spire's going up. 2012 will be just as exciting as current 2011,if not more.

Topped out meaning to the roof I presume? How long actually until the spire is complete? Will this be an arduous task or will it go pretty fast? Also please, is there an update on the base? Have they decided what it will be built out of and when it will be started? Thanks

You are not the wrong, I noticed the same thing. The glass was stalled around the height of 7 WTC for a good week or 2 and then all of a sudden things picked up...seems like they are adding a floor or so every 2-3 days. Of course this will slow down as they are catching up faster than the steel rises.

Yes a free forum that you'll get kicked off of if you keep this up. Noone needs to see your smartass comments so leave them off the forum. people come on here for good educated responses. So even if you think its a dumb question keep your comments to yourself.

The spire itself is supposed to take about six months to complete, according to the Port Authority.

The steel has reached the 90th floor with 14 more floors to go until topped out. And cant answer the second question sorry.

Yea sorry everyone but had to stand up for newyorkskyline117

Oh and to answer about the podium glass the port authority said that "installation of the podiium glass will start in 2012 to allow for construction activities and deliveries to proceed in this area".
Glass has risen to the 63rd floor, and the concrete base has reached the 82 floor

The base will be worked on during 2013. It would be done before the opening of the building. The base would look a lot like the base of the Twin Towers just without the tridents.

Roadcruiser1 · #**18700** Posted **Dec 21, 2011, 7:06 PM**

Here is the new base for One World Trade Center. It's for everyone that haven't seen the new base yet.
