The W Hotel DOWNTOWN at 123 Washington Street has an outdoor terrace on the setback that functions like a Broadway theatre mezzanine overlooking Ground Zero.
Four World Trade is rising on the eastern border and will be 64 stories, 975 feet tall.
The Freedom Tower is also well underway, steel now erected above the 65th floor and the facade glass-- eventually over 1 million square feet-- is installed up to 40.
70 elevators will service 104 floors. The publisher Condé Nast will move 5000 employees into 20 of those floors overlooking memorial park in 2013.
Here is a comparison to the Empire State Building.
Including the giant communications antenna, the Tower will rise 1,776 feet, referencing that important year in American history.
On July 9th, 1776 in defiance of the British crown, an angry mob of New Yorkers pulled down the gilded equestrian statue of King George III in Bowling Green, just a few city blocks to the south.
Freedom rising.
