One World Trade Center will be the tallest building in the US

A view of 1 World Trade Center as seen from Long Island City

If you haven’t noticed yet, Long Island City has a new skyline neighbor: 1 World Trade Center. Word has it that it’s about to grow taller than the Empire State Building (1,467 ft) at a rate of one floor per week! Expect the Freedom Tower’s height to be (appropriately) 1,776ft!
