One World Trade Center

One World Trade Center will become the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere as they raise the 408 feet spire today.

From wiki: "By the time of its scheduled completion in late 2013, One World Trade Center will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere and the third-tallest building in the world by pinnacle height, with its spire reaching a symbolic 1,776 feet (541.3 m) in commemoration of the year of American independence".

I visited the World Trade Center when I was in NYC during July 2014. Hope to do the tour of the observatory when I visit the building next time I am in the city.

Its a cool looking building when you see it, but I truly wish they just put the twin towers exactly where they stood as a symbol of American endurance

I agree. Trumps design was easily the best. He suggested another set of Twin Towers sitting exactly where they used to. Just taller with a modern twist to the look of the buildings. The model looked great.

For me the Architecture is quite generic and uninspiring. It's failed in its brief IMO. But I look forward to visiting it in the near future. There was something special about the original twin towers.
