Currently under construction, 1 Riverside Place will be the tallest building in my Lego City and the largest Lego MOC I have built to date. With 9 stories on completion, the Skyscraper will be mixed office, residential usage with a Restaurant/Bar offering superb views of the city.

Hello everyone ! Today, I’m finally sharing with you the official post bringing together all the work previously done on my new version of the September 9/11 Memorial Park of my LEGO project of a near-identical replica of the new World Trade Center campus in New York City !

I’m so proud to have been able to make this new version in less than a year before its creation on the 3D software called Stud.io by BrickLink !

This is new version of the park adds a lot of new features and improvements ! ✨

- Buildings such as the National September 11 Memorial Museum and the 2 maintenance buildings have been reworked to have a realistic and interesting geometry in terms of technique for LEGO. 📐

- Also added the Survivor Tree and the Memorial Glade which were missing on the previous version.

- Redesign of the ground, with a new design of more visible paving stones.

- Expansion of the pools and improvement of lighting. 💡

- LEGO parts with UV printed patterns for more realism (thanks to l'Esprit Brique) !

I hope you enjoy the result, day and night. This is one of the most important parts of the project, which for me pays tribute to the attacks of September 11th.

Let us never forget ! 🙏 🇺🇸

The Sears Tower, in Lego. Personally, I think the Art Deco skyscrapers might be more challenging.

Further progress on 1 Riverside Place. These two floors consist of two One Bedroom apartments and a Whole floor Two Bedroom apartment. There will most likely be another floor dedicated to apartments and a further office floor.

The tower is growing higher and nearing 'topping out'

A year after its (re)modeling in LEGO on the 3D Stud.io software by BrickLink, it was time to reproduce it in real life !

Here is my faithful replica of the new One World Tarde Center in New York, made up of more than 28,000 LEGO bricks, assembled in more than 60 hours, and illuminated at night with LEDs !

A little bit of history first, One World Trade Center nicknamed “Freedom Tower” and its 541 meters high (1,776 feet, corresponding to the year of the United States Declaration of Independence) is the tallest tower in New York, in the United States and the Western Hemisphere. 🇺🇸

It’s also the most expensive tower in the world, costing nearly $3.9 billion, and is the most technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable skyscraper. 🌟

But now, in LEGO ???

This centerpiece is part of my project consisting of almost faithfully reproducing the new Ground 0 - World Trade Center district in LEGO.

It went through several versions before arriving at this final version which is more geometric, more voluminous and better worked.

Admire these inclined facades !

I won’t be able to describe every detail here since there are a lot, but the main points are :

- More than 28,000 parts.

- The building measures 2.25 m (7.4 ft) with a scale of 1:245 ! 📏

- It includes the almost faithfully reproduced One World Observatory platform as well as all the floors of the tower.

- It’s lit at night with LEDs for the floors, as well as addressable RGB LEDs for the lobby and antenna that can change color individually.💡

I wanted to thank BlueBrixx for providing me with alternative LEGO Trans-Clear plates for the lobby as well as rigid hoses for the metal rings on the roof.

Second Floor Office. The second floor belongs to the same company. Features include large city model, board room/meeting room and canteen/break room. There is also a small WC

Sky Bar and Restaurant. Intended to eventually become the 8th floor at the top of the building, this very smart and busy restaurant/Bar offers panoramic views of the city and features busy kitchen, well stocked bar, great food or just a fantastic place to hang out and take in the view.
