Bobby Williams took this photo from his perch in the East Village... showing the glass nearing the top of One World Trade Center ... Still waiting for that last piece of the spire and a steel beacon to cap the building at 1,776 feet.
Per The Atlantic, "it will officially become the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and the third-tallest building in the world, behind the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and the Abraj Al Bait Clock Tower in Mecca."
And did you see the views from inside the 100th-Floor Observation Deck from last month?

Another, and a very long line of Fantastic picture from Mr. Williams. Thanks!
We're number three! We're number three!
Skyscraper wars are so 20th century.
Those emirates can sit on their Burj Khalifa for all I care.
Pssh. What a Freedomtowerkrieg.
I dunno..it's kind of meh...world's almost tallest building just doesn't cut it - the twin towers were just so imposing if not great architectural favorites. they ought to top it with a giant cupcake at this point..
I agree that's a rather uninspiring building. Just another glass tower, really. Maybe if they'd built two of them?
This is a monument to real estate investment, nothing else.
