I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Let’s all pool money into this thing and become the anchor tenant this building needs. We could finally get the Diamond top design.

Silverstein’s ego, bucket list, etc clouted 2WTC redevelopment, I also always felt this, thank you finally someone said it out loud.

Lucky Larry has become Shady Silverstein
I see this on Threads all the time. People are so damn intellectually lazy. Either they use AI to outsource all their thinking or it’s literally AI/bots scraping posts from others and reposting.

“Lucky Larry”? We’re spiraling into insane conspiracies now?
He had no luck in anything.
That’s a term that’s been thrown around. I never believed it.
Also the 2 WTC page from 16 days ago isn’t on the WTC site anymore

That newest massing actually looks really good from the east, I’d even say it looks the best out of all the proposals from that angle.
This pic on the website doesn’t have a spire dotted in. Here’s to hoping

These photos were uploaded to the wtc website’s wp-content uploads folder in August, one of them is the hudson river render of the tower before it got butchered to 2.2m sqf.
The others are renders we haven’t seen/seen blurry. There are some other pics there which were already found so I won’t show them again.
These photos, are from October:
The lobby was drastically altered and it’s layout is reverted to the original diamonds design. Might as well revert the whole design…

Funny how VH focused the sun on the EcoSlop tower but didn’t remove it’s original reflection from 200 West Street.

Cobbled together a quick Minecraft replica of the newest version. Also started making the other buildings to compare how it fits in.
I understand where the idea for a spire comes from, since the large fin dividing the west side just abruptly stops otherwise. It just happens to also look absolutely atrocious.
(The only raytracing preset that lets me see office lights from far away comes with the side effect of removing the windows entirely, and being a schizophrenia simulator)
Ignoring the spire, it still has probably the best east profile of all the proposals so far, but it’s simply too short compared to tower 3 for me to find it appealing.
In isolation, with no spire:
