WTC Tower One - by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill

Thank you, Zen.

Just to confirm - are these two cranes I see from JC belong to One WTC?

I saw the Towers go down, and it would be very uplifting to be able to follow One WTC going up, and documenting it from the Jersey side.

Can't wait to see the building emerge from beyond the WFC, if I am not mistaken about the cranes.

You guessed it right!

Thanks, Daquan13.

Can't wait for the 1WTC to become visible from Jersey.

It will be emotional.

another couple of floors and it will be taller than the building in front of it.

Yesterday, from the Hudson River Park bike path along Pier 26 ...

I think that it will be about halfway up when it reaches the height of 7 WTC.

You think?

The blue+black "cocoon" is climbing up.
So they pull it up with both cranes at once... cool!

Concrete forms at the corner are coming down ...

They are also finishing perimeter steel up on the top, and have put corner columns in place just recently!

I think they're starting to speed it up now.

I agree, the concrete contractor seems to have gotten there act together. I see core forms on the 6th floor.

Thanks GB.
