First Chunk of Metal and Glass Goes Up on 1 World Trade Center

Had the Port Authority not changed the name of the building, we could have marked this momentous occasion by saying that ground zero construction crews are now "putting a face on Freedom." It would have been so poetic! But instead, we'll just say this: 1 World Trade Center is getting cladded, yo! Over the weekend the first piece of facade, a corner section covering floors 20-24, started going up following a long journey from Minnesota and Oregon. To see what the future tallest tower in North America looks like right now on the inside, check out our recent hardhat tour.
