However, as the case is with many skyscrapers, there has been much debate on whether or not the 408 foot-tall needle that tops the building should be counted towers the total building height. Once completed, the office tower will be slightly taller than its predecessor, rising up to 1,776 feet. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the One World Trade Center will become the tallest building in the US and the third tallest in the world upon completion.Ĭonstruction began on the tower in April 2006. Currently standing at 1,271 feet (387m) tall, the “Freedom Tower” has surpassed the 1,250 foot Empire State Building. With the installation of a girder on the 100th floor, the One World Trade Center has become the tallest building in New York.
