It's a while before this bit goes on...

[O' Daniel]

The eagle eyed members of the forum may have noticed that cladding on the lobby walls has started per picture 6 I posted above. A travertineish white stone...I'll investigate further this week.

Larissa white marble supplied by Port Morris, they're going to apply the same finishes on the skylobby and part of the 65th.

Larissa - white! Nice looking marble: pure white, with silver/grey veining. Good choice.
See sample here listed under 'larissa white' http://www.lackstonemarble.com/produ...d=5&page_no=20

HHH - hazy,hot & humid: makes the telephoto image look like a mirage. About the TOP OUT, I am thinking not the 3rd, more like the 9th - not much going to get done during the week with the 4th of July holiday on Wednesday. ALWAYS enjoy viewing those vids - thnx.

Any changes yet?

Hey guys, haven't been on WNY in a while.

Check out this 3D computer animation I put together featuring the rise of the 1WTC from start to finish.

...wondering when the top out is going to be....

[Enigmatism415]

Maybe they're legally obligated to build the core up to a certain height before continuing with the steel?

[Fimiak]

Apparently the steel delivered this week was premature and they are waiting for the correct steal to be delivered onsite next week. From SSP.
