"Freedom Tower" Construction begins - Quietly - New WTC Construction Pictures

Phil Jayhan · 9 May 2010 , 04:00 AM

This kind of took me by surprise to be honest. I would have thought someone here would have posted this story by now. This is actually the first I have heard of the new World Trade Center construction project. To think they are being allowed to build whatever they wanton that piece of property pisses me off to be honest. Fair market value should have been given to the owners, if other than the Port Authority,and the grounds made a memorial forever. A memorial to freedom, because thats where it finally died. Can you guys get all the information on this new project? Who the builders are, who is paying, who the building belongs to, and all the pictures of this project? Ican't believe this has been being built for 18 months and I never ever saw one story about it, ever.

Cheers-
Phil

1 World Trade Center (Freedom Tower) « back Daily Activities | Contact Info | FAQs | Links

Freedom Tower in fall 2009 The Port Authority is making progress on the $3.1 billion 1 World Trade (formerly called the "Freedom Tower"). Located at the northwest corner of the WTC site, installation of steel columns and core concrete continues. The skyscraper is being built according to a revised design released in June 2005. The new design retains essential elements of the original plan-- soaring 1,776 feet into the sky, its illuminated mast evoking the Statue of Liberty's torch -- but features a smaller, cubic base set back further from West Street to protect the building against future attacks.
Rising from its square base -- which will be constructed of impermeable concrete and steel -- the redesigned Freedom Tower will taper into eight tall isosceles triangles, forming a perfect octagon at its center. An observation deck will be located 1,362 feet above ground and there will be a square glass parapet at 1,368 feet, the heights of the original Twin Towers. From these, an illuminated spire containing a television antenna will rise to a final height of 1,776 feet.
Other key elements include; 2.6 million square feet of office space, tenant amenity spaces, world-class restaurants, below-grade retail, and access to the PATH, subway, and World Financial Center. According to the Port Authority schedule, the tower is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When will the Freedom Tower open? A: The Freedom Tower is currently scheduled to open in late 2013. The finished structure will include 2.6 million square feet of office space, an observation deck, restaurants, and broadcast and antennae facilities. Underground, there will be retail shops and access to the PATH rapid-transit system, as well as a passageway to the World Financial Center. Q: Why did work on the Freedom Tower take so long to start? A: One significant delay was the redesign of the tower in the spring 2005, to better accommodate security measures at street level. However, preliminary construction on the Freedom Tower started on July 4, 2004, and crews have worked steadily since then.

As of fall 2008, the tower's construction is underway. Q: What are some of the Freedom Tower's safety features? A: To address security concerns, the redesigned building's setback distance from West Street has been increased from 25 feet to an average of 90 feet, and its cubic base will be constructed of impermeable concrete and steel. Additionally, the building will feature advanced life safety systems that exceed the city building code, structural redundancy, extra-strong fireproofing, and biological and chemical filters in the air supply system. There will also be extra-wide pressurized staircases, low-level emergency lighting, and interconnected redundant exits. Finally, emergency communication cables will facilitate enhanced emergency response, and there will be a dedicated staircase for use by firefighters and "areas of refuge" on every floor. Q: How is the Freedom Tower using environmentally conscious systems? A: The Freedom Tower will use the latest technologies to maximize efficiency and minimize waste and pollution in both its construction and eventual operation. It is being built according to World Trade Center Sustainable Design Guidelines and will, at a minimum, conform to the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standard. According to architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, “Specific achievements of the Freedom Tower will include use of renewable energy for at least 20 percent of the building’s energy needs; state-of-the-art energy conservation technology to reduce energy demand; better interior “daylighting” and views of the outside for occupants due to ultra-clear glass technology; improved indoor air quality due to outside-air ventilation and use of building materials without toxic materials such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs); water conservation due to reuse of rainwater for building cooling and irrigation; reduction of vehicular traffic via proximity to public transportation and provision of facilities for bicycle commuters; waste reduction through recycling of construction debris and use of recycled-content building materials; natural resource protection via use of sustainably harvested wood; and cleaner air in the community due to use of ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuels and particulate filters on construction vehicles, for which the EPA has already given Silverstein Properties (the tower’s developer) a 2004 Environmental Quality Award.” Click here for answers to commonly asked construction questions.

By the way, you guys can make cool little tables like this in your posts by copy and paste; Look for the button in the far right top of the edit box, then copy and paste the contents of the table you want, and paste it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes like above, you need to adjust things again and preview it to make sure it looks ok.
