150 Greenwich Street - WTC Tower #4 - by Fumihiko Maki

[HoveringCheesecake]

Since the tower tops out at 297 m, wouldn't expected rooftop features such as lightning rods push it past 300 m, which is the threshold for supertalls in much of the world? I know it's just structural height, and it's sort of cheating, and no one really cares, but does anyone think this is likely?

By the way, how tall is it now?

I'm kind of hoping they put some 3 meter long stick somewhere so that it is considered a supertall. Now that 2 and 3 are on hold, it'd be nice to say that there are two supertalls down there. Of course, most people could give a rats behind about this whole development, and even then the ~10 feet is almost meaningless, but just freaking do it so that it is counted in the record books or what have you.

Nice shot at the left, looking south along Greenwich. They need to get rid of those cars, widen the pedestrian area there and plant some big trees.

Is it close to being topped out?

[arcman210]

I think there's approximately 4 or 5 floors to go.
