The supertall structure has the same name as the North Tower of the original World Trade Center, which was completely destroyed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, The new skyscraper stands on the northwest corner of the acre 6. In November of the same year, CTBUH announced the final decision as to whether the architectural height of the tower will be feet or feet, they determined the height to be feet, stating that even though the antenna of One World Trade Center is not a spire enclosed with radom it is still an integral part of the tower, just like those telecom towers, so the antenna should be count into the height of the tower.
Since then One World Trade Center consequently became the tallest building of the Western Hemisphere, and 3rd tallest building in the world by that time. As of One World Trade Center is the 7th tallest building in the world among all the built and topped out buildings, and still keeps holding the title of the tallest building of Western Hemisphere. It is worth mentioning that even when the construction was still ongoing the building had been perfectly integrated into the cityscape with its construction illumination.
Not only so, the construction illumination would changes to a variety of colors in catering of some festivals and some special events, similar with that of Empire State Building, as if it was already a completed tower. The costs of the construction for One World Trade Center was the highest in the world for a single building by that time, it cost up to 3.
This change saved 20 million dollars. As of , One World Trade Center is still one of the most expensive buildings in the world. The tower has floors, the uppermost two floors are mechanic floors, observation decks are set at th, st and nd floor, the main one is on the th floor, the highest one on the nd floor is meters or feet high from the ground, a bit lower than the open-air observatory on the rooftop of the former World Trade Center South Tower, which is meters high.
But still high enough to view the more than half of the metropolis area, except of some scenery like Central park blocked by the towers in midtown, and even some nearby states can be seen when weather is fine. The ticket price of standard admission is 35 dollars as of , same as the observation deck on 86th floor of Empire State Building. But the highest observatory of Empire State Building is at nd floor, it costs an extra 20 dollars, and is only m, lower than One World Observatory.
The operator of One World Observatory estimated that the observatory could attract 3. One World Trade Center has been featured in a lot of films and video games since it was still in construction phase, below is an incomplete list of the films or video games that have One World Trade Center featured. Although the film has good plots and effects, but to be honest the virtual world in the film really cannot be complimented, they failed to create a virtual city. For avoiding the Gotham City in the film to be same with real New York, they just did the rough modifications, such as removing some districts of New York and replace these districts with sea or rivers, or just mirroring a whole district of buildings into two symmetric districts.
And in a scene even skyline of Los Angeles is mixed into the Gotham City. Near the end of the film, the lead character gets in the old age through that amazing clicker, he held an open-air music party at a location near the Lower Manhattan, One World Trade Center can be easily picked out in the skyline of Lower Manhattan, with the same design as in the reality, but is made into twin towers.
Then Two World Trade Center gets a close shot showing the villain High Priestess is in a meeting with her men inside the tower on the uppermost floor. TV series The blacklist : The tower appears several times in some episodes of the series. Near the end of the pilot episode, before the cops arrived the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center is clearly featured in a shot.

Three tallest buildings in New York skyline. Today, the One World Trade Center stands next to where they once towered over the city. It took more than a year and a half to clean up the remaining steel and concrete left after the attacks on September the 11th.
Once everything had been cleared away, the first round of the design competition took place. An opportunity for a whole new World Trade Center complex.
Polish-born American, Daniel Libeskind was the winner of the competition. The memorial consists of two square pools exactly where the Twin Towers stood. Trees and water, surrounding the pools complement the peaceful atmosphere created, It is certainly worthwhile to pay a visit. Yes, buy your One World Observatory tickets here. Without the antenna, the building is meters high. Yes, you can. This would prevent the rental of the offices in the tower as it would always be associated with the dramatic events of 11th of September.
The architect David Childs was chosen in to design the tallest building of the complex — the One World Trade Center.
