The World Trade Center Transportation Hub and the future Two World Trade Center site are immediately to the east. 7 World Trade Center is to the north, while Brookfield Place is to the west. Despite the fact that the skyscraper only has 94 real storeys, the top level of One World Trade Center is officially labeled as floor 104. The reason for this is so that there is not a major gap between the two towers.
One World Trade Center will be the tallest building in New York when it is completed. The tower's height will be 471 feet, which makes it 26 feet taller than 2 WTC. The Freedom Tower is intended to be a symbol of hope for America after the attacks on September 11, 2001. It is located at 1 World Trade Center in Manhattan.
You can visit the top of the tower for $25 per person. There are several packages available, some including lunch or dinner for an extra cost. You can also buy tickets online for $65 or $85 if you want to watch the sunset from the top of the tower.
The Freedom Tower is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m., except for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. On Thanksgiving, the tower closes at 5 p.m.; on Christmas Day, it closes at noon. Children under 12 years old are free to come up to the top of the tower with an adult.
World Trade Center One. It is a skyscraper in New York City, United States. When it opens its doors in 2013, World Trade Center One will be 1,398 feet (426 m) high, making it the tallest building in the United States.
Building a higher tower than any other means that this one exceeds 400 meters (1312 ft). However, since the opening of the Sears Tower in 1969, no further buildings have been constructed with a height exceeding 400 meters.
The original World Trade Center was completed in 1973 at a height of 471 feet (143 m). It was the first skyscraper in New York to exceed 400 feet (122 m). The current World Trade Center complex is an amalgamation of four buildings built between 1972 and 2007. They include two towers over 400 feet tall: One World Trade Center, which holds the record for the highest occupied floor in America; and Two World Trade Center, which is currently under construction and will be the second-highest point in New York City.
World Trade Center One will be 2,749 feet (837 m) high, making it the tallest building in New York City and in the USA.
The National September 11 Memorial & Museum will be placed directly south of One World Trade Center, where the original Twin Towers stood. The museum will honor the 2,977 people who died when the Twin Towers collapsed during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. It is intended to be a powerful statement of sympathy and hope.
One World Trade Center is the tallest skyscraper in New York City and the third-tallest building in the United States. It was built in 1972 by Olympic Gold Medalist and former New York Governor Robert F. Kennedy after he was assassinated while campaigning for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. The 110th floor observatory has great views of New York City.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced in June 2004 that his family had been chosen by what was then called World Trade Center Properties LLC to design and build the new museum. The family business, the RFK Foundation, will provide guidance but not influence the selection of material for the building's interior. The foundation said it hopes to have the museum open by April 2010.
The decision to site the museum at One World Trade Center was not made easily. There were concerns that putting the museum so close to Ground Zero would detract from its significance.
The supertall tower bears the same name as the North Tower of the first World Trade Center, which was demolished in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

One World Trade Center is the city's current tallest structure at 1,776 feet, followed by the luxury residential skyscraper Central Park Tower, which topped 432 Park Avenue in March and will reach its maximum height of 1,550 feet in September 2019. The Statue of Liberty is an icon of America and stands 328 feet high.
When it was built, the world's tallest statue was the Washington Monument, which at 456 feet was only four feet shorter than One World Trade Center. Today, however, it is no longer the world's tallest statue because One World Trade Center has beaten it by 56 feet!
The observation deck on the 86th floor of One World Trade Center is named the Sky Lobby because it has a view that takes in half of Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. Visitors can buy tickets for $14.95 or $19.95 depending on how far in advance they do so. Buying a ticket gives you access to the observation deck but doesn't guarantee a spot because there are sometimes long lines of people waiting to get in.
The observation deck has three sections: the Atrium, the Sky Lounge, and the Sky Bridge. The Atrium is a large open space with glass walls that overlooks downtown Manhattan and the Hudson River. It contains information centers about the history of the building and its construction team as well as a small theater where movies are shown occasionally during trade shows.
