It is mostly offices that take up space in the tower, but on its highest floors (100-102) sits the One World Observatory, the city’s highest viewing platform. Although it was originally to be named the Freedom Tower, the name was changed to a less “emotionally-charged” One World Trade Center, the same name as the North Tower of the original World Trade Center. One World Trade Center was completed in 2014 and stands on the same block the Twin Towers stood until the attacks of September 11, 2001. It’s 1,776 feet tall, in honor of the year when the US Declaration of Independence was signed. © Silverstein Properties, Inc., all rights reservedĮxcept as expressly provided elsewhere on this Website.One World Trade Center is the tallest building in the United States and the Western Hemisphere, and the seventh tallest building in the world.

At its core were the Twin Towers, which at 110 stories (1,368 and 1,362 feet) each would be the world's tallest skyscrapers. It was a composite of six buildings comprised of 10 million square feet of office space. Less than two years and more than 100 design concepts later, the Port Authority unveiled the $525 million World Trade Center plan to the public. Worthington, Skilling Helle and Jackson developed a tube-frame structural system which allowed for open floor plans without columns in the office spaces. Yamasaki considered hundreds of different building configurations before deciding on the twin towers design and worked closely with the selected structural engineers of the project, Worthington, Skilling Helle and Jackson. Yamasaki's designs often paid tribute to classical themes but his use of modern technology resulted in contemporary structures of glass and concrete. Yamasaki was a second generation Japanese-American who studied architecture at the University of Washington and New York University. Minoru Yamasaki was selected to design the project.
