The Freedom Tower

From: The Eastvillagepodcasts.com:

The Freedom Tower, originally designed by Daniel Libeskind and architected by David Childs of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, is continuing to be built at its base in the northwest area of the former site of the World Trade Center towers. From a vantage point in an office building on the east side of “the bathtub“, there still seems to be no significant breakthrough in construction in terms of the Tower beginning its ascent above ground level.
Bounded by West Street, Vesey Street and the dotted-line equivalents of Washington Place and Fulton Street, the Freedom Tower has been a hive of construction for a couple of years now. Apparently, the new building needs prolonged and careful construction below ground.

It was widely reported last month that plans for the tower were found in the garbage by a homeless man.

Let’s hope the lack of progress downtown it isn’t because they lost the plans and don’t know to proceed.
