People do too! My friends cousins came over from Poland, and when first stepping into this city, they got really emotional. It does that to you. Be sure to come on a day where its clear like the photos above. Believe me, the visibility is worth it.
Also, be sure to visit 432 Park Ave. Its really dominating the area and is exceeding everyone’s expectations.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m kind of getting bored with 1WTC. Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve been following the progress for about 10 years lol. 57th and HY have my full attention now. Maybe when 3WTC starts rising again (should be pretty soon I hope), I’ll get more interested in the WTC development once again.
Yea I’m kinda over it. WTC2 is the one that really excited me. It is also the most troubled and time consuming one when it comes to a timeline of completion. I’m hoping that they find tenants soon. With WTC3 set to rise, one last piece of the puzzle remains.
I keep having to change my PC wallpaper every day. These shots are amazing! Also its of high resolution. Having a 2.5k resolution monitor comes with its negatives sometimes. Love the big pics.
